5 Marvel characters who served as Horsemen of Apocalypse

Sunfire was one of the X-Men recruited by Charles Xavier around the same time as Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm and Colossus. Instead of joining the team full-time, he left after the first mission. Things never really went well for him after that, and by the time Apocalypse found him, he had lost his legs and his powers in M-Day, making him desperate enough to become Famine.

Things were not going well for Polaris when Apocalypse found her and turned her into Pestilence. After a mental breakdown during her wedding to Havok, the some time daughter of Magneto then regained a semblance of sanity, only to then leave the X-Men to chase a sentient green alien blob known as Doop/Daap, which led her right into the arms of Apocalypse.

Gambit knew enough to not trust Apocalypse, but that didn't stop him from agreeing to become Death, the last of Apocalypse's horsemen. This led to a period of time where the card-throwing scamp worked against the X-Men, but luckily that didn't last for very long.

They say Wolverine is everywhere in comics, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he was once a member of Apocalypse's army, serving as Death for a bit in the '90s. On the plus side, ol' blue lips restored Wolverine's Adamantium skeleton, putting an end to the bone claw era for good.

Surprised to see a non-mutant character on the list? Well You shouldn't be. Apocalypse is all about Survival of the Fittest, and you'd be pressed to come up with a more fit character than the Hulk. He served as War for a stretch, throwing down with heavyweights like the Juggernaut and the Absorbing Man, before regaining control.
