The last of the four to take up arms as the Apocalypse Twins Horsemen of Death was the Grim Reaper, who had only recently been killed by Rogue a few issues earlier.
An arch nemesis to Wonder Man, his brother, the Reaper focuses his efforts on capturing him rather than Rogue. He proves successful, but as with the others, when the Apocalypse Twins are defeated, he flees the scene of the crime.
If you thought that getting killed would instil some sense of caution in Reaper, then you'd be wrong. Following his transformation into a Horseman of Death, he turns his attention to the Vision. He targets the android's family, severely injuring his daughter in the process, but is then killed by his wife Virginia, who proceeds to bury his body in their picturesque sub-urban garden.
Although one would've hoped Reaper would stay that way, he was revived by Doctor Strange during the events of Damnation. Who knows where he'll strike next?

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.
