[Marvel] Why did Apocalypse choose Archangel to be part of the Four Horsemen?

He's just a dude with wings. Im not just referring to the recent movie, but the comics as well.

Apocalypse is able to provide a big power boost to whoever becomes his horseman.  The thing is, the power boost is additive rather than multiplicative so there isn't as big an advantage to finding the most powerful mutants.  In the comics, he all out mind controls whoever he chooses, so he usually chooses based on taking opponents out of play, or fucking with people by taking their loved ones.  In the movie, they join him willingly, and since he's fresh out a several millennia long slumber he doesn't have time to be picky.  Now yes, there are times in the comics where he's changed his MO to finding the most powerful mutants, but given how powerful he himself is that usually isn't necessary.
