Spoiler: New Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Extraordinary X-Men #8

1. I’m confused why would Apocalypse pick non mutants to represent him?

   1. So Colossus and Deadpool aren’t mutants…………??????????????????????/

      1. Deadpool in fact is not a mutant, he was a regular human who had tests done that gave him abilities like mutants, and he has always existed in close proximity to the X-Men.

2. I was going to click this link and planned to then see the Horsemen, shrug, and go about my day. However, Moon Knight? AWWWW YEAHHHH! It is odd as he isn’t a mutant though, but maybe I’ll pick-up the comic simply to see one of my favorite heroes in an interesting role. I guess it makes sense with Apocalypse and Moon Knight having Egyptian origins.

3. Colossus is the only mutant in that picture.

4. mutants never get the job done he had to outsource

   1. There are no more mutants anyway, they are all Inhumans now.

5. Where did Deadpool’s healing factor come from then? I’m not trying to be contentious, I just legitimately don’t know.
   From what I know, both Wolverine and Deadpool came out of Weapon X? So, even if Deadpool’s healing factor came from Wolverine (did it?), it could be argued that any sort of gene transplant or whatever “mutated” Deadpool.
   All I’m saying is that it seems like a really thin distinction. A pretty razor-thin line of delineation between Wolverine and Deadpool.
   Also, in Deadpool vs. Thanos, Thanos says that he cursed Deadpool so that he couldn’t die. Wouldn’t that make him “cosmic” or “mystic”?
   Confusing for sure.

   1. It is a pretty thin distinction, and one I only point-out because occasionally comic story-lines have made a big deal out of it. There have been times certain mutants or X-Men have pointed out to Deadpool, “Well you’re not really a mutant,” and its served as a plot-point for how poor Wade Wilson can’t find anywhere he belongs. Oh, and was that Deadpool VS Thanos comic good? It looked like it could be potentially fun or just an excuse to cash-in on how both characters have been getting a lot of press lately.

6. Venom and deadpool? Yeah i’m in. Wonder if it’s just the symbiot venom?

   1. All the different sites reporting this are ignoring the fourth Horseman in the back. It looks like it is just the symbiote minus Flash. Recently, the symbiote showed it can survive on its own without Flash (in Venom Space Knight).

      1. Ignoring the fourth? You mean Venom? Thought we mentioned that. The real question is that Apocalypse or Colossus in the front or a combination of the two?

      2. You know, Tony, when you’re right, you’re right. I retread your post and some other sources and everybody mentioned Venom.

7. Is space knight any good? I passed on it cuz venom looked a lot like Spawn.

   1. The art is pretty incredible. Having said that, the art does rely on computer graphics for some things–mostly background items like planet surfaces and spaceships in the background.
      It’s a character piece like The Vision, but more light-hearted. It’s definitely a fun read, but I dropped it from my pull. I might pick up the issues after when I stopped pulling later, but my LCS requires a purchase if they pull it for you, so I didn’t want to be guilted about something I was 100% on.
      As a recovering alcoholic, I really enjoyed the issue where Flash attends and intergalactic AA meeting. Maybe that’s just me, though.

      1. *wasn’t

      2. * an

8. Have their roles been revealed yet? My guess;
   War – Colossus
   Famine – venom
   Pestilence – moon Knight
   Death – deadpool

   1. I’d flip Venom and Moon Knight in your guesswork. Moon Knight looks anorexic and a symbiote could easily become a parasite and spread…

      1. Metal arm has to be Collossus? Sure as shit looks like ol’ Nate to me……
         He would be a he’ll of a lot scarier than Apocalypse and he’s not a horseman, he is calling HIS horseman to him. Would also explain the connection to Deadpool, and I don’t think I have to explain his connection to Apocalypse to anyone who knows anything about Nathan Dayspring Askani’son Summers.
