Famine

Real Name: Autumn Rolfson
Affiliation: The Four Horsemen
Alternate-X Versions: None
Codename Etymology: Pronounced făm'ĭn [From Latin famēs: hunger]; A wide-spread shortage of food.
Powers & History: Famine has the ability to emaciate any living organism. It may be that she manipulates her victims' metabolisms to the point where their bodies shrivel away from lack of food. Fortunately, it does not appear that the effects are permanent; a little food helps bring the body back to normal. Autumn hated how other people thought she was a freak, and accepted Apocalypse's offer to join the Horsemen so she could exact her revenge. During the "Fall of the Mutants" she attempted to dessicate the entirety of America's bread basket, but was stopped in time by Captain America, Falcon, Nomad II and D-Man.

Famine II was recruited to aid Apocalypse in his gathering of The Twelve. At first he appeared to be Rory Campbell, but then later was shown as Ahab, who may not be the same person, as originally suspected. Very confusing.
