This is true, but due to the most common super power I see no compelling reason why his body would not improve through the centuries as living conditions improved on Earth.
You utter bastard. I just lost an hour and a half to tv-tropes yet again.
If it is any consolation, I spent the entire evening reading this web-comic that I found today.

The Emperor being able to do that to Horus is probably only because he created him from scratch.
or because he's the most powerful psychic entity in existence, powerful enough to defeat all four chaos gods at the same time at the height of their power

Cite! This is something I didn't know about and would like to read
well, all four chaos gods were infusing horus with their power and when the emperor decided to quit playing around and fight Horus they abandoned him for fear of the damage he would do to them if they were still linked with horus
e: that's been part of the fluff forever i'm not gonna find a citation

Thats hardly at the height of their power. The Emperor was greatly weakening the chaos gods by destroying any and all civilizations/species that believed in them, and aggresively stamped out superstition in the Emperium. The gods even tell Horus this on Davin, the Emperor is killing them.
slaanesh was created by eldar orgy parties and psychic abilities, dark eldar now treat souls as a kind of currency/food to make them live for a fucklong time. commorragh the dark eldar homeworld is still a giant s&m orgy with lots of cutting and killing involved. its hot. really.
Nurgle is totally the nicest Chaos God to work for, if you can avoid being turned into a mindless shambling horror of some sort.
But even that's better than what someone like Khorne has in store for you.

Question, does the emperor acknowledge that souls exist, or does he not notice them at all? Also, was he coincidently killing civs/species that worshipped chaos, or was he doing it with a purpose?

Nurgle is really not nice.
He's nice in that the takes away the pain of crippling diseases by animating your body into a horrific undead abomination. But then, consider that he gives you those diseases in the first place. His idea of mirth is also demonstrated many times as being downright malevolent and sadistic enough to make Luficer cringe.
Slaanesh is probably the nicest group to hang out with, so long as you could find a group that is into the pleasure aspects, and not pain. Otherwise they'd probably take the words "show me something interesting", as an invitation to peel your flesh off strip by strip, all so you could experience a new form of pain.
Edit: It's an often overlooked fact, but the Emperor was only killing civilizations that were worshipping chaos or were just a blight on the universe. Most of the races during the Emperor run portion of the crusade that got exterminated were Xenos that were downright evil. The Emperor, as a rule of thumb, had no problem with aliens as a concept. It was just that a good deal of the aliens out there were power-tripping or were so corrupt that they couldn't be saved.
Often, the nicer Xeno's were offered (Sometimes quietly.) a place in the Imperium, like the Squats and the Eldar. The Emperor's idea of the Imperium was really more of a really militaristic pro-human/pro-not-corrupted-by-evil federation, like in Star Trek. Obviously that didn't pan out too well.
For the record, the planets that did get purged of xeno's during the time when the Emperor ran the crusade tended to be named places like "Murder". The races that lived in those sort of places were nasty in the extreme, and tended to treat humans as interesting things to hunt down and torture. The "Murder" planet in particular was given that name by a Space Marine, who was panicking over how stupidly deadly the planet was. It put most of the modern deathworlds in the Imperium to shame.
It was only when Horus took over that the Crusade started killing everything in it's path. Hell, he took down a few civilizations that could have helped propel the Imperium even further into the Golden Age.
So essentially, the Emperor had a purpose, yes. He was trying to build his own powerbase to take down the Chaos Gods. Or at least, subjugate them so that they weren't such a threat anymore. Unfortunately, Horus got daddy issues at the worst possible time, and cocked it all up.

To sum up: Horus is the king goose of silly geese. He's why the universe can't have nice things.
i think you are all forgetting about tzeentch, tzeench is the best god to work for because he is all knowing and doesn't do terrible terrible things to you, other then make you go insane from too much knowledge.
Actually Horus got the idea that he wanted to tolerate that one civilization that had accepted aliens into their society even over the protests of his captains. It was only because of Erebus it got all fucked up, of course the civilization in question knew about chaos and actively fought it so if the Emperor had been there he might have purged it just to keep it a secret.
Horus only destroyed that other civilization with an intact STC after he was turned to chaos.

I wouldn't say that. I vaguely remember a short story where this powerful champion of Tzeentch is going to meet with another champion who wasn't a warrior and yet was challenging him for control of his warband, and then a brick falls on his head.
He wakes up as a homeless man who had delusions of being a champion of the chaos gods.
Tzeentch can fuck with you a lot if you fail him.

worshipping chaos means you get mutated pretty much, i still vote tzeentch is the best road to go down, as long as you aren't planning on betraying him... he already knows

I think we can all agree, Slaanesh and Tzeentch are better then Khorne and Nurgle. Tzeentch makes you smart and has magic. Slaanesh has hookers and blow. What do Nurgle and Khorne have? Pain, blood, axes to the face, and disease, pustules, and pretty much a mindless existence.

I kinda disagree with Slaanesh. Slaanesh's whole thing is that it will gladly kill you with pain and pleasure, and by that time you are so far gone you can't tell the difference between the two. Slaanesh has just as much pain and blood as Khorne, it just happens to be incidental rather than the whole point.
As for Tzeentch, there are many fates worse than death, and Tzeentch can do all of them, all at once. And he does.

Obviously Chaos is all around not the way you want to go anyways. We are just saying, if your going to go insane and serve Chaos, serve the gods that will actually benefit you the most, at least for a while.

No, he just obliterated Horus's soul, preventing him from being raised again by the chaos gods.
also his brain
essentially making him a husk
heh, "just"
Slaanesh.
Eats Eldar souls.
And was created through Chaos eating an assload of Eldar souls.
I'm pretty sure that's oblivion.
He consumes the souls but doesn't actually destroy them in a literal sense. The Emperor actually caused Horus' soul to cease to be.
t neli: that is correct
