  Pale Horseman


It was early 1984 when the Pale Horseman first appeared in Astro City, and the earthly plane. Draped in his tattered cloak, astride his skeletal horse, he rode on fire. A ghostly hunter of those individuals who violated his sensibilities of society's laws and rules. This could be anyone, committing any crime. The scope of his vengeful wrath ran the gamut from hardened killers to thoughtless jaywalkers. All types of violators numbered among his victims. He would approach his prey, his skinless steed galloping upon the very air, and with supernatural abilities, wither him, her or them, to a shrivelled, bony mass.

During his time on this world, no one in Astro City, the criminal and the law-abiding alike, felt safe.
