The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse's History

The things the Horseman represent in pestilence, famine and war are like forces of nature and are states that humans experience all the time. So it isn't as though when Lucifer comes on the scene he brings these monsters with him that are unleashed that we haven't been experiencing the effects of throughout history. It's more that he gathers them to him.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, also called The Horsemen, are a quartet of immensely powerful entities that personified the four prime concepts that drive the Apocalypse.

They can manifest a human form, which can be harmed in manners identical to humans. They are respectively known as: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.

Each use a special ring that channels their core ability, without which, their physical forms are lost, excluding Death. Also, they each travel in a car (colored to resemble their steed's color in lore), having gotten in "with the times".

After Lucifer rises from his cage in Hell, he takes command of the Horsemen and directs them in enacting his genocide against humanity. Their rings, unknown to all but a few select individuals, are the keys to Lucifer's Cage in Hell, and thus the Horsemen collectively hold the key to sending him back.

Death is older than, or as old as life itself. The other Horsemen were around when the first wars, famines, and pestilences affected the first humans. For example, Pestilence implies he existed when the first virus came into being.
