(Redirected from War (Marvel Comics character))
War is the name of three fictional characters, who are supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Two are discussed here: both members of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. The first War (real name unknown) and Abraham Kieros. The title was also held by the mutant Gazer and, briefly, by Bruce Banner, the Hulk.

Fictional character biography[edit]
Kieros was a young Vietnam Warveteran who was paralyzed in combat. He was kept in a hospital and placed in an iron lung, but felt as though he was betrayed and forgotten by his country. Apocalypse appeared to him one day and offered him the ability to move and to get revenge on those who had tossed him aside.[1] He accepted the offer and was indeed given the ability to move again, which allowed him to use his mutant power—the ability to create explosions through kinetic contact, usually by clapping his hands together—in Apocalypse's service as his Horseman of War. He often bickered with one of the other Horsemen, Famine, and disliked her total lack of obedience.
War liked to take control of situations and during their first confrontation with X-Factor, attempted to lead the other Horsemen. Famine and Pestilence refused to obey his orders and flew off to do their own business.[volume & issue needed] Soon after, Death took over leadership and the Four Horsemen learned to ride as one.[volume & issue needed] During the attack on Manhattan, War immediately attacked Cyclops and was later teleported back to the ship by Apocalypse, where he fought several more X-Factor members.[volume & issue needed] He was eventually defeated by Iceman. Apocalypse then grabbed War and fled.[volume & issue needed]
Later, during the X-Cutioner's Song story arc, War attacked Colossus and Iceman, but soon fled after Caliban grabbed Jean Grey and Cyclops, handing them over to Apocalypse, who was really Mr. Sinister in disguise.[volume & issue needed] The X-Men sought out the Horsemen and War was presumably defeated in combat.[volume & issue needed]
Much later, War appeared in an hospital, once again paralyzed from the neck down, apparently abandoned by Apocalypse who stripped him of his powers. Archangel, who had gained newfound powers and had been searching for Kieros, healed him of his wounds, giving him hope to start over with a new life.[2]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Kieros is a mutant with the superhuman power to create explosions in his immediate area by clapping his hands. He does so by harnessing the minor kinetic force created when his hands strike each other, amplifying it to a significant degree, and redirecting it spatially so that it strikes and affects some other object in his line-of-sight, causing an explosive release of force. The limits of the range in which his power is effective have not yet been determined.
While a servant of Apocalypse, he used his sentient ship to construct for War a robot mount that resembles a demonic quadruped beast and that can travel on land or fly through the air and also was capable of teleportation.

Abilities | Superhumanly strong Wields dual axes which he throws with remarkable accuracy |
The earliest depiction of Apocalypse's Horseman, War. Not much is known about this incarnation of War. He was chosen by Apocalypse in the fifteenth century to become his horseman and lead his army, the Riders of the Dark. This army was so fierce and powerful that most people presumed it was just a myth used to scare soldiers before their first battle. It was no myth at all, and it precisely was what people thought it was, fierce and strong. In most of their battles, the only soldier who had to fight was War, who would single-handedly defeat hordes of men just by himself.
In 1459, the Riders of the Dark appeared in Romania where Vlad Ţepeş' army was fighting against the Ottomans and emerged victorious. Unfortunately for Vlad (whom would become Dracula), War defeated Dracula's army. The survivors fled for their life, abandoning Dracula on the field who stood his ground and faced War but ultimately fell.

Created by | Peter Milligan Salvador Larroca |
In-story information | |
Species | Human Mutant and Human Mutate |
Team affiliations | Four Horsemen of Apocalypse NASA |
Notable aliases | War |
Abilities | Superhuman strength and physical resistance, Optic blasts, Ability to absorb radiation |
Gazer was a mutant astronaut, who after being depowered on M-Day, went out into space to die. Instead he was transported onto Apocalypse's ship and made to battle for the title of War, one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse. With Ozymandias' intervention, he was victorious, and through a torturous process became the newest incarnation of War.[3]
Gazer was an astronaut permanently stationed alone on a NASA observation space station, due to the unusual metabolism he possessed as his mutant power, whereby he could absorb harmful radiation and process it to gain sustenance. He first encountered the X-Men when they used his station as a staging post for an attack on a group of non-sentient aliens which induced harmful emotions in humans.[volume & issue needed]

Shortly afterwards, he lost his powers on M-Day, along with 90% of mutants. Succumbing to radiation sickness, he began to imagine that an experiment on the effects of radiation sickness was sentient (calling it 'Phantom Torso'), and it constantly advised him to call NASA to ask for a return home. However, he remained until an alien resembling Doop, which he had built up to himself as his last hope, passed by his station on its way to crash-landing on Earth near Polaris, who'd seen it in space and had a similar reaction.[volume & issue needed]
Thereafter, 'Phantom Torso' stopped 'talking' to him, and he put on a spacesuit and went out into space to die. However, he was teleported to Apocalypse's sphinx-like ship, and forced to battle Dr. Foster, a human archeologist who had stumbled upon Apocalypse's tomb, for the 'right' to become War, Horseman of Apocalypse. Gazer would have lost the battle if it were not for Ozymandias, Apocalypse's servant. Ozymandias told Gazer that he would owe him and one day the scribe would become the master.[volume & issue needed]
Gazer went through a terribly painful process where his skeleton was stretched, the former X-Man Sunfire, who was also chosen by Apocalypse to be a Horseman, tried to save him but Gazer had already been under Apocalypse's mind-control by then and helped recapture Shiro.[volume & issue needed]As War, Gazer was sent to battle the X-Men and Sentinel Squad O*N*E. Upon returning to Apocalypse's sphinx, he was approached by Ozymandias who wanted his debt repaid. War, no longer Gazer, did not fulfill his oath and instead revealed the truth to Apocalypse about Ozymandias' treachery.[volume & issue needed]
During a heated battle against the X-Men, Ozymandias finally took his vengeance, stabbing Gazer from behind with a sword.[volume & issue needed]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Before M-Day, Gazer, in addition to his unusual appearance, could absorb radiation at frequencies and levels which induce radiation sickness in normal humans and photosynthesize it as food.
After his depowerment on M-Day, he was taken by Apocalypse and transformed to possess super-strength and enhanced durability, and the ability to absorb and rechannel solar energy as blasts of fire through his eyes. He also carries a spiked mace which flashes with electricity-like bursts, and rides a robotic horse-like flying machine.
Other versions[edit]
Age of Apocalypse[edit]
The original War (Kieros) appeared in the Age of Apocalypse as a member of Apocalypse's first wave of Horsemen. War was killed by Mikhail Rasputin when Apocalypse invaded Russia. Impressed by Mikhail's victory, Apocalypse captured and brainwashed Mikhail so he could joined the Horsemen of Apocalypse.[volume & issue needed]
Mutant X[edit]
War also is seen in the Mutant X reality, where he constantly bickered with Death, but they had a mutual respect for each other.[volume & issue needed]
In other media[edit]
Television[edit]
- The original War appeared in three episodes of the X-Men animated series voiced by James Millington. In 'Come the Apocalypse,' where War was selected by Apocalypse and transformed into his Horseman; the second and third, 'Beyond Good and Evil,' Parts 3 and 4, where he fought alongside the other Horsemen when the X-Men sought out Apocalypse's Lazarus chamber. Instead of using his mutant abilities in the latter two episodes, he used an energy-projected sword. In his first appearance, he is shown not getting along with the woman who would become Pestilence, a nod to their disagreeable natures in the comics.
Film[edit]
In X-Men: Apocalypse, Magneto is the horseman War.

We'll continue to update the game and add even more exciting content!Follow us to get news and updates;facebook.com/JESoftwareHave fun playing this first-person shooter war game! NICKTNT14, Has Potential ?I enjoyed the game so far but ran into a few problems the biggest being that when you hit the buy crates button too fast the game takes your crystals but only registers the first crate I went to by 5 crates of the 15 crystal variety and lost 85 because I thought they would go to the crate thing(not sure what to call it) and they weren’t there so, please fix this. Secondly I was annoyed that the reload button was hard to find so you should add a small reload button somewhere on the screen or put an arrow with a caption in the tutorial the show new players where the reload button is. Finally I think the armory’s design looks a little cash grabbish but, it is well rounded though because after a few days I was up to 134 crystals so I’m fine with that setup and I’m just fine grinding on a game especially one I enjoy. I hope you consider the suggestion and please fix that glitch!✌️. SHCDemolisher, Pretty good so far.It’s a pretty fun game and I hope the future keeps that.One thing that I advice you guys not to do:DO NOT ADD AN ENERGY SYSTEM!!!
This game is fine with out one, it keeps you playing far longer than a game with an energy system.Extra:Change the pistol name MP40! That’s the name of a ww2 German SMG!Also render the fat zombies because having them just be a mass that isn’t rendered looks really weird when he’s surrounded by others who are rendered. (This has been fixed)One thing is that the extra mission for act 2 level 30, Kill a zombie.
I do that and it doesn’t count! It just doesn’t seem to register that I’ve done it! I’ve replayed the level about 8 times and it still doesn’t work.Can we have a cloud save so we can keep our progress without having it being wiped if we delete the game? Thank you.:).
