Horsemen of Apocalypse (Earth-1600)

The Horsemen of Apocalypse are Apocalypse's main strike force.

History
The Horsemen take the titles of Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. During their conversions Apocalypse usually augments their powers and/or outfits them with specially designed weapons and equipment using his advanced technology.

Earliest incarnation
From the beginning of the eleventh century up until 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 even before their first battle. During 1459, in Romania, the Horsemen of War led the Riders of the Dark, and single-handedly defeated Dracula and his army.
