Angel

*For the Golden Age Angel see: The Angel.*

Origin

Angel: Revelations

Warren began to fight crime as the Avenging Angel and was brought to the attention of Professor Charles Xavier (Professor X). Xavier ran a school for mutants and ran the mutant team, the X-Men. Angel became one of the founding members of the X-Men. At first Warren disguised his face with a mask, but later discarded it feeling that his handsome, telegenic features would gain his team public support. His vanity and slight airiness has been his mark as his life as a mutant. With his vast inheritance it was possibly fated that he would become a media playboy.

At the same time even though he was always loyal to Professor X ideals, he drifted among various superhero groups. Using his vast fortune he backed which ever team he was currently on, such as the Champions of Los Angeles, the Defenders, or the X-Factor.

Archangel

Archangel

Apocalypse offered to restore Angel's wings but there was a catch. Warren's skin turned blue and was given razor sharp metal wings. Warren became Apocalypse's Horseman, Death. Later he was able to overcome Apocalypse's programming and went by the name Archangel. Archangel made his print debut in X-Factor #24.

Slowly Warren began to regain his humanity. Archangel's metallic wings began to molt and Warren discovered his natural feather wings were growing back. His skin was later drained of its blue hue when evil mutant Black Tom Cassidy drained some of his life-force. Although his skin appears to have regained its color now, it is widely believed that his skin is still blue, just a very light shade of blue.

During the Decimation, it seems that Warren's wings have shrived up into useless appendages in his back. But he didn't really lost his powers and it was only a cover-up to hunt down The Ghoul, a mutant who retained his powers and believed himself as a pure mutant and those who lost their powers as tainted beings. He is also apart of the reunion of the original team, (save for Jean Grey, who is dead at the time), who chased down Bishop, who is hunting down the escaped 198, but they later help Bishop in tracking down the remaining mutants.

World War Hulk & Messiah Complex

Angel

After that, he was also involved in the Messiah CompleX. He was with the first team who first investigated the location of the first mutant since the Decimation. Later, he became part of a team who was tracking down former Acolytes, and then the Marauders. He also participated, as all the members of the X-Men, past and present, in the climatic battle for the faith of the mutant baby.

X-Force

Archangel Returns!

Back at Angel's Aerie, and Elixir heals Angel's wounds, but is un able to regrow his wings as they're "not organic".  They bandage Angel and put him into a bed, but later he wakes up and begins having a seizure.  Wolverine and Warpath try to restrain him, but are unable too.  Suddenly, new wings begin to sprout through his bandages, but their not Angel's "organic" wings, their his Apocalypse wings.  Angel begins to turn back into Horsemen form, skin and wings.  It is unknown at this time if he will be good or evil.

Powers

Emerging

Actual Powers

Angel has the ability to fly using a pair of large, feathery white wings. His wings are superhumanly strong easily capable of breaking a man's arm or leg and tossing someone through a wall and incredibly flexible as he is able to compress them tightly against his back with only the slightest bulge through his clothing. Like a bird, his body is adapted for flight and has hollow bones, a very fast metabolism, and has no body fat. Warren possesses peak-human strength able to lift almost 400 pounds but his wings allow him to lift 200 more pounds. He has superhumanly sharp vision, hearing and eyes that can withstand high-speed winds. His body is accustomed to low temperatures at high altitudes giving him a greater-than normal tolerance for cold. His lungs extract oxygen and breathe easily whether flying really fast or really high.

Hippie Angel

Later, he has developed a secondary mutation of a blood-borne healing factor. He is almost immune to injury because of his powerful regenerative blood continuously flows through his veins, broken bones healed in at least a day and cuts and puncture wounds in moments. Upon mixing his blood with others, they are healed of their injuries through medical or unconventional means. The potency of his regenerative blood can heal minor bumps and bruises to mortal wounds and some illnesses and even restore life to the newly dead.

The only limits to his healing powers is that the person needs a proportional amount of blood for their injury and his blood may not always work, especially if the person does not have the same blood type. Healing others can be problematic since Warren, while having a large blood count and regenerates blood cells quicker than the average human, but does not regenerate blood cells quick enough to compensate for sufficient blood loss.

With Apocalypse's modifications, he was given razor sharp metal wings which could be retracted mechanically. With these wings he could also shoot razor-sharp, poison tipped feathers. The wings sometimes acted on their own, making them hard to control, occasionally forcefully sprouting his metal wings or firing metal feathers when emotionally wound-up. As a side effect of his modifications, Warren's skin was also turned a light shade of blue and due to the psychological shock, he developed a apathetic, cold personality for a while.

Alternate Realities

Earth-295

AOA

It wasn't until his two business associates, Karma and Quark, were captured by Apocalypse's forces for associating with the Human High Council. Angel himself was eventually captured himself and, though he managed to escape, he found the beaten body of Karma. Filled with anger and thoughts of revenge against Apocalypse, he strapped explosives to his own body and flew into the shield barrier protecting Apocalypse's fortress. His suicide allowed X-Man entry into the citadel.

Angel had the same powers of flight as in the regular Marvel 616 universe. Any secondary mutation, such as his healing blood, either did not exist or was not revealed. Angel also was never turned into Archangel in the AoA universe, therefore he never had the metal wings, poisoned feathers, or blue skin.
