What Happened To Everyone Who Became Horsemen Of Apocalypse?

10. Wolverine

Wolverine Horseman of Apocalypse
Marvel Comics

Although Wolverine has most recently been seen as a Horseman of Apocalypse in the pages of Powers of X, alongside Xorn, North and Krakoa, that future actually took place in one of the past lives of Moira X. Officially, then, Wolverine has only been a Horseman of Apocalypse in mainstream continuity once before, at a time where he'd been stripped of his adamantium graft.

Fatal Attractions is a fairly infamous storyline that saw Logan's metal skeleton ripped from his body by an apoplectic Magneto, and, for a time, he actually got by using just his bone claws. Obviously anyone's going to opt for a metal skeleton over just a boring boney one if they're given the opportunity though, and it was here where Apocalypse came in.

During a period where Wolverine regressed into a feral-like state, En Sabah Nur kidnapped the Canucklehead, brainwashed him, and managed to successfully re-graft the adamantium to Logan's skeleton, at which point he became the latest version of Death.

To cover for Logan's whereabouts, Apocalypse actually placed a Skrull imposter with the X-Men. It doesn't last for long though, as Wolvie kills his doppelgänger and breaks free of Apocalypse's control shortly thereafter.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
