powers=Invulnerability, Immortality, superstrength, teleportation

Horde I

The first Horde was an alien warlord. He had a shard of the Crystal of Ulitimate Vision on his forehead, which made him invincible and immortal. Desiring the rest of the crystal, Horde coerced the X-Men to travel to the Citadel of Light and Dark, where the crystal was hidden. As the X-Men entered, the citadel created illusions of each's most powerful desire. Only Wolverine was able to resist. He reached the crystal, only to discover that Horde had used the X-Men to distract the citadel's defenses. Horde cut Wolverine down, and removed his heart as a trophy. From that act, a lone drop of Logan's blood splattered onto the Crystal, which gave out enough energy for Wolverine to be restored. Empowered to godhood, Wolverine plucked the crystal shard from Horde's forehead, and the tyrant aged and withered to dust in seconds.

Powers and Abilities

The shard of the Crystal of Ultimate Vision on his forehead gave Horde unlimited superstrength, invulnerability, and immortality. He claimed it also made him immune to the psychic attack of Psylocke, the touch of Rogue, and Longshot's luck powers. It also allowed him to teleport himself and others other vast intergalactic (and possibly interdimensional) distances.

Horde II

The second being to take the name Horde was a collective being, the result of several citizens (and a dog) of Stoneridge, New Mexico, being fused together after getting caught in the edge of a Gamma radiation dome created by the Leader ["World War Hulk: Aftersmash! Warbound #1"] . The resulting fusion caused the people to go insane, and were convinced by the Leader that the Warbound, who were helping people to escape the dome, were hostile invaders ["World War Hulk: Aftersmash"] . After the Leader is defeated, Horde joins the Warbound in protecting the remaining citizens of Stoneridge.

Powers and Abilities

Horde possesses a degree of gamma-enhanced strength, enough to fight the Warbound to a standstill. It also possesses a collective intelligence, albeit an unbalanced one, which leaves it highly susceptible to persuasion.

Horde (species)

The species known only as the Horde first appeared in the final issue of Neil Gaiman's The Eternals. They are referred to as "the locusts of the universe", and have been recently drawn to Earth because of the awakening of the Dreaming Celestial. They apparently exist as the anti-thesis of the Celestials, havesting worlds whose Deviant population become the dominant species. Both the Horde and the Celestials serve the mysterious "Fulcrum", which is the force that governs the ways of the universe.
