What Happened To Everyone Who Became Horsemen Of Apocalypse?

Horsemen of Apocalypse
Marvel Comics

Although Apocalypse is today cosying up to the X-Men in Marvel's vaunted new Dawn of X relaunch, to the general public he'll always be a villain.

So great is the threat posed by En Sabah Nur, that his repeated interference with the Earth has seen the X-Men and the Brotherhood put aside their differences to take him down.

That's mainly down to the fact Apocalypse is one of the most powerful mutants in existence, what with the character having been boosted by Celestial technology, but it's also down to his ludicrously successful track-record of turning allies into enemies, which he does by recruiting them to his sinister cabal, fittingly titled the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

No less than fifteen heroes and villains have been transformed into Apocalypse's servants in the three decades since his debut in X-Factor #5, and if the foreshadowing going on in House of X and Powers of X is anything to go by, more could be on the way.
