Riders Of The Storm (gh)
The Riders of the Storm are underlings of Apocalypse; many are mutants
or mutated humans, while some others were culled from the offshoot of humanity
known as the Inhumans. The main purpose of the Riders was to kidnap Nathan
Christopher Summers (Cyclops’ son) and allow Apocalypse to destroy him. During
their initial attack and kidnapping attempt, X-Factor’s Ship went crazy and
self-destructed high above the Earth; Ship managed to salvage its primary
personality components and save the team by entering the Blue Area of the Moon.
Allying themselves with the Inhumans, X-Factor found that Apocalypse had a base
on the Moon and was changing many Inhumans into his slaves. X-Factor and the
Inhumans managed to defeat Apocalypse and the Riders, freeing many of the
captives and releasing the others from his control, but Nathan was dying. He was
sent into the future with a time-traveler named Askani as she represented his
only hope.
