Powers/Abilities:
Deathblow
Aptly named, each Horseman wields his own uniquely destructive power. War incitese those around him to bloody violence, Famine saps the life-force from his victims, while the mere presence of Pestilence or Death leaves a mass a lifeless bodies in their wake.


History:
Deathblow
To prepare the world for the return of the Prince of Darkness, the Black Angel summoned the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War, Famine, Pestilence, adn Death. The Horsemen caused mass casualties and widespread panic throughout New York before they were defeated by Deathblow, Dane, Backlash, and Grifter.


Commentary:

• "Brandon Choi gave me his basic ideas on the Four Horsemen, and I tried to design the characters so that they would be fun to portray in brush and ink. I emphasized the graphic quality of each of the Horsemen's attributes: boils on Pestilence, wrinkles on Famine, War's huge knife, and Death's hidden features and cloak." - Tim Sale (WildStorm Gallery trading card #79)
