moved Talk:Four Horsemen to Talk:Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse over redirect
Pure speculation: I think that the individual rings belonging to each Horsemen, symbolically represent their "weapon" or "implement" they traditionally bear or carry in lore. For instance, Famine's ring may symbolize the set of scales used in lore, War's ring may also symbolize his red sword used in lore. And as for Death and Pestilence's representations, Death isn't foretold to be bearing a weapon but in many depictions, he bears a scythe; and Pestilence is often incorporated with Death. If this is accurate, then that would explain why they are all rendered weaker and basically all get deprogrammed once they lose physical connection with their ring except for Death - Because they require their ring as it is their "weapon" needed to further the Apocalypse. What does anyone else think on the matter?

Reverted to a previous version to retain the pictures of the Horseman, and also use the names of the horsemen (War, death etc..) that are used in the Show rather than "the pale horseman" etc, as most viewers would know the Horsemen by the more commonly used names. --[[User:Missyjack|Missyjack]] 02:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC) /SuperWiki Admin

Can this section please be edited for clarity - I don't understand what it means. Also i can find no reference in My Bloody Valentine that says that Famine has been weakened due to "agricultural improvements on Earth", unless you are referring to the line "He will ride into the land of plenty and great will be the horseman's hunger, for he is hunger." - which doesn't mean that at all.

In [[Supernatural]], just like they need their ring to channel their apocalyptic based powers, the three Horsemen ([[War]], [[Famine]] and [[Pestilence]]) seem to mainly if not fully strive on the actual nature or concept of their true purpose to maintain strength and potential on Earth. Take Famine for example: He was physically servely weakened due agricultural improvements on Earth<sup>[[5.14 My Bloody Valentine]]</sup>, heavily suggesting that they can be weakened if their natures falture or subside.
