Master of the Horsemen, ability use after KO from assigned horseman card

[Tarn]

Hello

On the card MASTER OF THE HORSEMEN. It says "Once per Turn during his Activation, Apocalypse may use 1 of the superpower on any Horsemen Card that was assigned to an allied character by the Apocalypse's Horsemen Leadership" Does this mean Apocalypse can you the power that was assigned even if the model it was assigned to at the start of the game has be KO'd and removed?

Hello, if Apocalypse has assigned a Horsemen card to an eligible character and that character gets KO'd during the game, would Apocalypse still be able to use the assigned Horsemen's card ability?

So for example if Wolverine was my assigned War character, and he is KO'd. Would Apocalypse still be able to use the Fury superpower after Wolverine has been KO'd?

Thank you in advance.

For Master of the Horsemen it states: 

"Once per turn during his activation, Apocalypse may use one of the (Active) super powers on any horseman card that was assigned to an allied character by Apocalypse's horseman leadership."

The question is if the Horseman character is KO'd, does Apocalypse lose his access to this ability? As I understand, it seems that Apocalypse is able to use the power from the card, which is granting new abilities to a character. But would the character w/ that ability being KO'd cause the horseman type card to be removed from the game?

I’m not sure if we got an official answer on this so I’m gonna ask it. 
 

Does Apocalypse still have access to the horsemen power if the character you assigned it to is removed from play?

Yes. Once assigned, the Horseman card will be available for the rest of the game.

Hello but this does not make sense because if apocalypse is ko all cards are removed then by all means when a Horsemen is Ko all of his cards should be removed also that card is assigned to that horseman and apocalypse can use his ability's key word his ability meaning that card belongs to that character and it should state on the card that if the character holding the horseman card is ko the card remains on the playing board, and it does not get removed until apocalypse is removed, and reading the card it does not.

Master of the Horsemen is removed from play with Apocalypse is KO’d because it includes language instructing players to do so. 

The four Horsemen Cards do not have this language so they remain in play when their assigned character is KO’d.
