-	bio_text = ~~History~~	+	bio_text = The Horsemen of Apocalypse are mutants who either willingly volunteer or are abducted and manipulated into the service of [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)\|Apocalypse]]. They take their names from the biblical Horsemen Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. They are almost always genetically modified by Apocalypse in order to enhance their abilities, or even grant them additional abilities. One such example was [[Angel (Warren Worthington III)\|Archangel]], who after losing his wings, was taken in by Apocalypse, who granted him metallic wings, with feathers that could be used as projectiles.
-	The Horsemen ~~take~~ the ~~names~~ of ~~Death, Famine War, and Pestilence. During their conversions~~ En Sabah Nur ~~(Earth-616~~) ~~usually augments their powers and/or outfits them with specially designed weapons and equipment using his technology.~~	+

-		+
-	~~== Earliest incarnation ==~~	+
-		+
-		+
-	~~Sometime during the fifteenth century,~~ Apocalypse ~~had already created his Horsemen and rode among them as well, leading an army of followers known as The Riders of the Dark~~. ~~This army was so strong and powerful that some were led to believe that they were just a myth to scare soldiers before~~ their ~~first battle. During 1459, in Romania, the Horsemen of War led the Riders of the Dark, and single-handedly defeated the pre-vampire Dracula's army as well as Dracula himself.~~	+
-		+
-		+
-		+
-	~~== First modern incarnation ==~~	+
-		+
-		+
-	The first modern Horseman recruited by Apocalypse was Plague, a member of the Morlocks, whom he recruited during the Mutant Massacre to fill the role of Pestilence. He then approached ex-soldier Abraham Kieros and granted him the position of War. Autumn Rolfson was Apocalypse's third choice and was given the position of Famine. Apocalypse then saved the dewinged Angel from ~~his sabotaged, exploding plane and chose him to be his fourth and final Horseman, Death.~~	+
-	~~The Four Horsemen were forced to battle one another for leadership, and Death emerged victorious. In a battle against X-Factor,~~ the Horsemen ~~were nearly defeated until~~ Death ~~appeared~~, shocking his former comrades. Caliban went to Apocalypse and asked for a power boost so he could avenge his fellow Morlocks. Pestilence was slain in the battle and Archangel came back to his senses after assuming he killed his former comrade, ~~Iceman. Apocalypse was forced to retreat with his remaining Horsemen and Caliban.~~	+
-	~~Caliban replaced Angel on the team and became Death. He captured Cyclops and Jean Grey and took them to Mister Sinister. The X-Men tracked him down and defeated Caliban and~~ Famine ~~and then realized the Horsemen were under Mr Sinister's orders. The X-Men were later defeated by Apocalypse. Caliban battled Sabretooth for revenge and lost the battle~~, ~~his intelligence was reduced to that of a child.~~	+
-		+
-		+
-		+
-	~~== The Hulk ==~~	+
-		+
-		+
-	~~After a battle with the X-Men in their mansion, Hulk was discovered by Apocalypse~~ and became his second incarnation of War. Apocalypse set him against the Juggernaut to test his strength. Hulk was able to knock back Juggernaut with the huge celestial energy boost that Apocalypse had given him. He was also able to best the Absorbing Man but came to his senses when he thought he had injured his friend, Rick Jones.	+
-	~~Second incarnation~~	+
-	For his second team of Horsemen, Apocalypse had Wolverine abducted, replacing him with a Skrull imposter to prevent his absence being noted, and pitched him in battle against Sabretooth. The winner of the battle, Wolverine', became his Horseman of Death. Wolverine as Death, battled the X-Men and killed the imposter Wolverine. Apocalypse then turned Deathbird into his second Horseman, War. Caliban was once again chosen to be one of Apocalypse's Horsemen, this time becoming Pestilence. ~~Pestilence and War fought X-Force and captured Cable. In a battle against the X-Men, Death was unmasked and revealed to be Wolverine.~~	+
-	In Apocalypse~~'s lair, Cable escaped and defeated Death~~ in ~~battle. Apocalypse then threatened~~ to ~~kill Caliban. Apocalypse captured Rory Campbell and turned him into his fourth Horseman~~, ~~Famine~~. ~~The Horsemen then started collecting "The Twelve". When Death captured Mikhail Rasputin and failed to teleport out with him, he~~ was chased into the Morlock Tunnels by the X-Men. He battled them and regained his memory, thanks to the efforts of Jubilee, Shadowcat, Archangel and Psylocke. The rest of the Horsemen were teleported to another dimension by Mikhail.	+
-		+
-		+
-		+
-	~~== Third incarnation ==~~	+
-		+
-		+
-	Following the House of M and M-Day, Apocalypse resurrected, only to find himself in a world with its mutant population reduced to a tenth of what it had been, out of the millions who populated earth prior to his demise at Cable's hands. Bent on becoming the new messiah for mutantkind, Apocalypse assembled a new cadre of Horsemen, with the purpose of wiping out 90% of the baseline human population.	+
-	~~Apocalypse's new Horsemen are Gazer~~ (~~as War~~), Sunfire (as Famine), Polaris (as Pestilence) and Gambit (as Death). Gazer was saved from death and forced to battle an archaeologist for the mantle of War, which he won with the aid of Apocalypse's majordomo and scribe, Ozymandias. Both Sunfire, who ~~had lost~~ his ~~legs at the hands of Lady Deathstrike and his powers to Rogue and Polaris~~, an M-Day victim, were captured, and reluctantly altered into Famine and Pestilence, respectively. Gambit, however, submitted himself willingly to be transformed into Death, as he had come to believe Apocalypse could be helpful to the mutant cause though he would require to be watched. Sunfire was ~~able to break free of Apocalypse's control with the help of Emma Frost, although he was weakened by the experience. Polaris was knocked out by Iceman~~ in ~~the final battle. She was abandoned, saved~~ by ~~Havok, and was de-brainwashed by the X-Men. Gazer died defending~~ Apocalypse, ~~stabbed in the back by Ozymandias. Gambit's fate has yet to be seen; Sunfire took~~ him ~~somewhere at the conclusion of the final battle~~, ~~only to~~ be ~~approached by Mister Sinister.~~	+
