—Famine (Jeb Lee)

Jeb Lee was an American Confederate mutant who was recruited by Apocalypse as Famine of the Final Horsemen, an elite team that would only be used if all else had failed. The Final Horsemen were awakened by Clan Akkaba in the present to serve a new child Apocalypse and later Apocalypse's heir, an ascended Archangel.

After Archangel's defeat, Famine went to work for Genocide but was killed by the Apocalypse Twins.

History

Early Life

Jeb Lee was a Confederate spy during the United States Civil War, walking the battlefields dressed as an Union soldier. At the end of his war, Jeb returned home, but his Union Army uniform was discovered, and he was mistaken for a Union soldier. His family was burned alive because of this and his mutant powers first manifested as a result. He then went back at war, marching from battle to battle and killing all humans in his trail.

Final Horseman & Dark Angel Saga

In 1863, Jeb was watched by the eternal mutant Apocalypse, while he was using his drums to deceive Confederates at Gettysburg, and was selected as his Final Horseman Famine in the event that all other plans of Apocalypse failed.

Famine soon followed Archangel once he took Apocalypse's place. Famine fought Psylocke; when she made War fall on Famine, he was knocked out and the X-Force took him prisoner. He soon escaped and blew up part of E.V.A. and Wolverine in the process. Later, while fighting by Archangel's side, his hands were sliced off by Wolverine; however, he was later shown alive with Dark Beast and the others, and with bandages around his stumps.

Death

Famine and his fellow Horsemen accompanied Apocalypse's son Genocide aboard the Starcore Station to use its broadcast magnification chamber to send a message to the Celestials Apocalypse once served. A Celestial Gardener appeared to give Genocide a Death Seed, but suddenly, the Apocalypse Twins interrupted the ceremony. Famine and War confronted them but were killed by Eimin's chronokinetic acid.

Bio-Auditory Cancer: He can transmit through sound a bio-auditory cancer, that feeds on the flesh of all who can hear it. Normally he plays his drum for it, but his power also works whenever he makes a tapping noise.
