If Ultimate Apocalypse exists, who should be his four Horsemen?

It was sort of a book-end type deal to Vaughan's run (beginning in The Tempest and touched upon minorly in Magnetic North), but I know we're going to see more of him and Sinister eventually, I just wonder how long we'll have to wait...hopefully not until UXM #100 or so, but that would be a nice centennial issue event, the unveiling of Ultimate Apocalypse (at least as far as a real, living, breathing, and dangerous enemy, and not only as possibly just the figment of some nut's imagination). Course a storyline focusing on Magneto is probably more likely, but who knows?
The Overlord said:The ending of the Tempus arc left the door open for Apocalypse to be real or to still be a fake. However if Apocalypse was real it take a bit of fancy footwork to explain his behaviour in the Tempus. The best way to do this, as I have mentioned before, is to make him a powerful super mutant, the next stage in evolution with vast mental powers. Apocalypse is also a meglomaniac who believes himself to be a god and has created a cult to worship him. Apocalypse contacted Mr. Sinister and had him attempt to kill the 10 mutants in the Tempus arc as a test, to see if he was worthy. The Horse are Apocalypse's elite, his most fanatical followers.
DIrishB said:Ahem...its Tempest, not Tempus. Just saying...
The Overlord said:Yes mother. :wink:
DIrishB said:Not even trying to correct your spelling, per se, just saying give Vaughan the respect he deserves, the man is the UXM writer version of a deity.
The Overlord said:Well I edited it for the correct spelling, so you can now sleep at night.
