X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer - 9 Major Plot Hints

6. Apocalypse's Horsemen Are Enhanced

It's a small line from Rose Byrne's Moira MacTaggert that gives away this information but it could have huge repercussions for the balance of power between the X-Men and the forces of Apocalypse as they head toward their climactic battle. Moira mentions to Charles and Alex that Apocalypse is accompanied by four followers, or horseman, who he imbues with powers. With the four horsemen consisting of the mutants Magneto, Psylocke, Storm and Angel/Archangel, we were left to assume that they would simply be using their standard mutant abilities for evil, but if Apocalypse takes them under his wing and boosts their already formidable powers than the X-Men are in deep trouble. We know that Angel will become the metal-winged Archangel, but only time will tell what ways Apocalypse will manipulate and strengthen his other three horsemen before the day is out. Magneto in particular is already one of the most powerful mutants on the planet, so there's no telling what he could do after receiving extra power from his new master.
