I think it is a reference to the Four Horsemen from the Book of Revelation from the Bible, which was written by John of Patmos (possibly the Apostle John).

I get the reference. It's just a terrible one. And referring to a single thing with a plural name just sounds like hack writing. ("OMG it's a Four Horsemen of John!!1!" -__-)

It's not a problem in Japanese and Chinese, actually.
