Angel Salvadore
Angel Salvadore is a comic book character that first appeared in New X-Men #118
Angel Salvadore was a student at the Xavier Institute. Depowered, she is now part of the New Warriors along with Beak, now known as Blackwing.
Origin and history
Angel Salvadore was fourteen years old she began developing physical manifestations of her mutation. At first her skin appeared to be developing a strange rash on her back. When her step-father suspected that she was a mutant he beat her and threw her out of the house. Angel fell asleep that night praying that she wasn't a mutant. Over the night a cocoon formed around her and when she woke up in the morning she had developed veined wings, much like a fly. She was also surrounded by U-Men, humans who butchered mutants for their mutated body parts, who wanted to cut off her wings. After she was grabbed by one of the
Xavier Institute
During a flight class, Angel and Beak were left behind by the other flying students. Angel stayed behind with Beak, who was attempting to fly but was unable. In order to lift his spirits, Angel kissed Beak and carried him to their destination. It was revealed there that Angel only kissed Beak as part of a bet.
Special Class
Later, Angel and Beak were honored during a prize giving ceremony. Neither were present, believing that they would never be awarded. Instead, Angel and Beak wandered on the grounds where Angel revealed that she was pregnant. She soon laid eggs in Wolverine's shed, which Angel and Beak tried to keep secret.
A short time later, Magneto, revealed to have been Xorn all along, recruited the members of his special class into the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Angel later rebelled after Magneto threatened her classmate Martha. Magneto was later defeated by the X-Men.
depoweredExiles - House of M
Later, Beak became unhinged from time and joined the Exiles. Angel, distraught over Beak's disappearance, assumed that Beak had run away. They were later reunited after they both had been depowered due to Scarlet Witch and the events of House of M. All but one of their children, Tito, had also been depowered and now resembled normal children.
After M-Day - New Warriors
No longer mutants, Beak and Angel left the X-Mansion. They were later recruited by Night Thrasher II and joined the New Warriors. Angel took the code name Tempest and received new powers through technological means. She now wears gauntlets that give her heat, wind, and ice powers.
Powers
Angel Salvadore was a mutant that granted her traits of an insect, such as flight via wings that could generate high frequency sound, corrosive saliva, and generation of a regenerative cocoon.
Apparently, even her internal physiology had traits of insects as she gave birth to her children in a similar manner to flies. Her children have also aged rapidly and presumably have a decreased lifespan.
Because Salvadore was depowered on M-Day, she equipped herself with technological enhancements as a member of the New Warriors.
As Tempest, Salvadore wears specialized gauntlets that allow her to generate extreme wind, cold, and heat energy. She also wore a special armor of unknown properties that generated a personal force field.
