The chapter tells of a book or scroll in God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals.

"They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." ( NASB). However, it is a matter of debate as to whether this passage refers to the first rider, or to the four riders as a whole.

The only member who was also a Horseman in the main Marvel Universe was Abraham Kieros, also known as War. The first group of Horsemen consisted of Candra, Gideon, Death (an unknown female, speculated to be Selene or Lifeforce), and War. Later members included a never-seen Horseman named Bastion and Maximus as the second Death. Ultimately, Apocalypse announced the War of Succession, a battle between all his Horsemen.
