Opponents played upon the idiom by referring to the four horsemen ("don't change horsemen in the middle of an Apocalypse."). The spot where the balloon descended is today the location of the "Air Balloon" public house. During the 2004 U.S. Together with the owner of Berkeley Castle, he made a successful flight to nearby Stroud.

Also, the computer game HeXen II features one of the four horsemen at the end of each of the four continents through which the player travels. One of Jenner's interests was hot air ballooning. The computer game Nethack features Famine, Pestilence and Death as the final enemies of the player character, himself assimilated to War. Jenner's house in Berkeley, also known as The Chantry, is now the Jenner Museum. Each of the girls died in a way that pertains to the name she accquires, for instance, the girl who becomes Famine died of anorexia, and the girl who becomes Pestilence died of an exotic disease. He studied anatomy and surgery under the guidance of John Hunter, a prominent surgeon in London, then returned to Berkeley to start a practice. The webcomic End Times by Bailey Piling and Philip Rigby portrays four young girls who died on the same day as becoming the four horsewomen. For this pioneering work in vaccination Jenner is regarded as the Father of Immunization.

He has since returned to the name Angel. Jenner realised the long-term implications of vaccination, and looked forward to the day when smallpox would no longer be a threat anywhere on earth; his dream eventually reached fruition with the global eradication of smallpox in the late 1970s. Worthington soon threw off Apocalypse's influence and rejoined the X-Men as Archangel. The term virus was introduced in the work aforementioned. The most notable of these was Warren Worthington III, the X-Man once known as Angel. After Worthington's wings were cut off in the Mutant Massacre, Apocalypse surgically grafted mechanical wings to his body and dyed his skin blue, transforming him into the horseman Death. His work was published as "An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, a Disease Known by the Name of Cow Pox" in 1798. In the universe of Marvel Comics, Apocalypse is a supervillain, an enemy to the X-Men, and whenever he resurfaces he typically converts four mutants into his Horsemen, including Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. Jenner called his method vaccination, as the original infective material came from a cow (vacca is the Latin for cow).

Jenner then applied the standard smallpox inoculation; the boy was completely unaffected, showing that cowpox had made him immune to smallpox. These are only aliases. The boy contracted cowpox, and after six weeks, recovered safely. In dramatic lore, they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. On May 14, 1796, he tested cowpox, infecting an eight year old boy named James Phipps in the same manner as used in smallpox inoculation, but using material from a cowpox pustule. They were so dubbed by sports writer Grantland Rice in his account of the Notre Dame-Army game October 18, 1924, at the Polo Grounds in New York City: "Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. Cowpox is related to smallpox and Jenner realized that if the folk tradition were true it offered considerable advantages over the use of smallpox in inoculation.

The "Four Horsemen of Notre Dame" were the legendary backfield of Notre Dame's 1924 football team, namely quarterback Harry Stuhldreher, fullback Elmer Layden and halfbacks Jim Crowley and Don Miller.

There was a local folk tradition amongst those who milked cows, that an infection with the so-called 'cowpox' protected one from contracting smallpox. The horsemen referenced in the lyrics are Time, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. This made them a risk to any family or acquaintances not already immune. Metallica's 1983 CD Kill 'Em All features a song called "The Four Horsemen". However, it had two major disadvantages: it was dangerous, and until the infection from inoculation had run its course, the subject was infected, and infectious, with actual smallpox.

The Johnny Cash song "The Man Comes Around" quotes relevant lines from the Book of Revelation (lyrics (http://www.hit-country-music-lyrics.com/johnnycashlyrics-mancomesaround.html)).

Some think this also compares himself to war, though Londo isn't making the comparison consciously (or at least not obviously so), and that it is foreshadowing for events to come later on in the series. In the space opera Babylon 5 by JMS the Centauri Prime Minister Londo Mollari compares his wives to Earth mythology by calling them Pestilence, Famine, and Death.

Johnny is a paradoxical character; he is both a stone cold criminal and a very well-educated man who intelligently speaks three languages. In the 1993 film Tombstone, the character Johnny Ringo ominously translates this line to his gang, which, seconds before, was screamed by a Mexican priest before he was shot in the head by Ringo. On the televison series, Highlander, the Four Horsemen were actually a band of four Immortals whos raped and pillaged throughout the Bronze Age and, under their leader, Kronos, attempted to reunite and bring chaos to the world in the modern era.

Like Death, the other horsemen have a personality beyond the job; War, for instance, is married with three kids: Panic, Terror and Clancy.

Pratchett's Discworld series also features the Four Horsemen, most notably in Sourcery and Thief of Time.

The novel Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, includes an appearance by the four horsemen - Death, War, Famine, and Pollution (Pestilence having retired) - who have, in deference to changing times, traded in their horses and formed a motorcycle gang.
. An alternate interpretation, likely based on differing translations, holds the first Horseman to represent War and/or the Antichrist, the second to represent Pestilence (sometimes called Plague), while the third and fourth riders remain Famine and Death, respectively. The imagery of the horses and riders is similar to a passage in Zechariah.

The pale greenish color of the fourth horse means fear, sickness, decay, and death. Its rider was holding a scale, which means scarcity of food, higher prices, and famine. The black color of the third horse could be a symbol of death and famine. The red color of the second horse could mean bloody war, and the sword held by the rider could symbolize war and violence.

Some commentators have thought it significant, however, that no arrows are mentioned. The bow that he carried could be a symbol of an enemy at that time, the Parthians, who were famous for their archery. The crown that its rider wore was a kind of prize awarded for service in a war. The white color of the first horse could mean victory, because generals of that time often rode white horses after they had won a battle or war.

The third horseman, riding the black horse, is Famine, and the fourth horseman (on the pale, or sickly horse, which may be the source of the notion of "pestilence" as a separate horseman) is explicitly named Death. The second horseman, riding the red horse, is generally held to represent War. Opinions differ on whether the first horseman, riding the white horse, represents Christ or the False Prophet. From the King James Version of the Bible, Revelation chapter 6, verses 1 to 8:.

However, the Bible actually only names one: Death. The four horsemen are traditionally named War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are mentioned in the Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation, which predicts that they will ride during the Apocalypse. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
