What Happened To Everyone Who Became Horsemen Of Apocalypse?
7. Polaris
Marvel Comics
While Sunfire initially agreed to join Apocalypse in this particular incarnation of the Horsemen, Polaris was reluctant from the start. She had lost her powers during the events of M Day and Apocalypse decided to transform her into Pestilence - against her will.
The entire process is pretty grim, as we see Apocalypse forcefully imbue Lorna with diseases and viruses in order for her to fulfil her new role. He brainwashes her, and once the process is complete, Polaris unleashes her new powers on the X-Men.
Like the others, Lorna breaks free of Apocalypse's control but remains despondent, quitting the X-Men before embarking on a series of cosmic adventures for the next few years.
Now, however, Lorna appears to be back to normal. She resides on Krakoa alongside her father Magneto - her powers now seemingly intact.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
