I'm not enough of a Marvel fanatic to know, but I'm curious. Were the Four Horsemen from the opening scene based on any existing Marvel characters?
As I remember there is one with some kind of telekinesis who was also able to create a protective cocoon for Apocalypse's casket, one animalistic mutant with some degree of super strength, one that created shockwaves that turned people into bone-strewn goo, and another whose power I forgot.
Any ideas?
No idea but fuck that opening scene was brutal
I was sat next to a bunch of kids, one of them actually covered their eyes after the first person got crushed by a falling rock

The telekinetic woman was probably Candra.
They might not be based on anyone, there's not that many mutants from the comics who were alive in ancient Egypt.
I thought the feral one was Caliban at first, which is obviously impossible, I thought one of them was pyrokinetic?
The shockwaves sound like Holocaust's energy blasts, and he's Apocalypse's son or something.

Yeah, I did think that was a possibility.

I thought I could remember a pyro, but I didn't remember it distinctly enough to be sure. Haven't there been enough of those in this film series?

How does that fit? Because she's immortal in the comics?

She was telekinetic, that's all I remember. Maybe one of them was Wildchild, Holocaust another.
Think loosely based.

There's so many telekinetics in Marvel though, I just wondered why you picked Candra specifically.
>>83012170
She was a horseman of Apocalypse.

Oh right. Makes sense, then.
The shockwaves guy was probably based on Abraham Kieros, a Horseman who created explosions by clapping. It wasn't quite as gruesome in the comics.
