According to this article two characters are going to be X-Men, and 3 of the four are in the 12 characters. Let's run down the list:

Avalanche-current status unknown, possible since the Xorn garbage has been forgotten

Beast-With Beast being in his classic look in X3 it's a possible but highly doubtful since Whedon is using him.

Moonstar- Currently powerless Dani could have her powers restored by Apocalypse. Highly likely

Dark Beast- He's already stronger than our Hank so I don't think he needs the boost, current status unknown.

Erg- A dead character IIRC, though he's been gone long enough that he could easily be brought back

Gambit- As far as I know he still has his powers though who better than the son of Sinister for Apocalypse to use as a pawn (I know The End isn't cannon but Marts has said he want's to use the Gambit/Sinister connection, hopefully without the Summers DNA). Milligan could boost Gambit back up to New Sun levels once more.

Havok- Still has his powers, though it would be interesting to have a Summers work for Apocalypse.

Mystique- Unless she lost her powers I doubt she'll be made a horseman

Ozymandias- Why is this guy even a choice? He's the watcher of Apocalypse, not likely at all

Polaris- Powers are gone and Apocalypse could return them.

Sebastian Shaw- Unlikely because I think Whedon is using him.

Sunfire- Only sure-fire choice I know as he's currently missing his legs and if he's anything like Mrs. Marvel he could be in a fugue about his previous life. Apocalypse could restore Sunfire's legs and memories and give him a power boost.

My top 3 choices are:
Sunfire
Polaris
and Havok or Gambit.

What does everyone else think?

Longshot3 -- My question deals with the formerly dead characters who where seen alive in the House of M. We know that Hawkeye and at least Apocalypse are back, but are their returns due to Wanda's tampering, and if so, does this mean that others are now back from the dead as well: Pyro, Magik, Proteus? What about those that died in the event can we assume that they are dead in the 616 reality?

Mike Marts -- It’s still too early to tell whether or not Wanda’s magicks had anything to do with recent resurrections. But Pyro and Proteus are still dead.

This is the interesting bit for me, though I know full well there are lies, damn lies, and rumours of Magik returning...

yeah but they could mean Amanda Sefton like they almost always do.

Perhaps Roberto Aguirre Sacasa is going to write a Magik mini though?

[Elliot Kane]

Right now, I'll just treat it as the usual "Marvel is tired of all queries regarding their best female character. We hate her. She scares us, because she is as complex and interesting as Wolverine. She's never returning. Get used to it."

I think if Doop was a horseman Apocalypse would've conquered the world by now ;D

[Duncan]

He's in the arc, no? I think that's kind of brilliant.

Uh oh, E is gonna start crying over Magik now.
