'''Warren Kenneth Worthington III''' is a [[superhero]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. Created by writer [[Stan Lee]] and artist [[Jack Kirby]], the character first appeared in [[Uncanny X-Men|''The X-Men'']] #1 (September 1963). Warren is a founding member of the [[X-Men]], having used the moniker '''Angel'''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bagley |first=Alison |date=November 1, 2020 |title=A Founding Member of The X-Men Could Resurrect Mutants Way Before Krakoa |url=https://screenrant.com/x-men-resurrection-healing-angel-warren-archangel-powers/ |access-date=February 9, 2023 |website=ScreenRant |language=en}}</ref> Later stories would reveal that prior to joining the team, he had acted as a vigilante under the moniker '''Avenging Angel'''.

Warren is a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]], an evolved species of humans who are born with superhuman abilities. The character originally possesses a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back, enabling him to fly. He is the heir of the Worthington family fortune, and this privileged background results in Warren being stereotyped as self-absorbed and unable to deal with hardships during his early years with the X-Men. This personality was ultimately replaced with a more introspective and brooding personality in the late 1980s, when the character was changed into the darker '''Archangel''' persona. While Warren's wings were originally feathered, his transition to Archangel resulted in metallic wings and newfound powers.

As one of the original X-Men, Warren has had a frequent presence in X-Men-related [[comic book]]s throughout the years and also appeared occasionally in X-Men [[animation|animated series]] and [[video game]]s. [[Ben Foster (actor)|Ben Foster]] played the role of Warren in the 2006 film ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' and [[Ben Hardy (actor)|Ben Hardy]] portrayed a younger unnamed version in the 2016 film ''[[X-Men: Apocalypse]]''.

== Publication history ==
The character was created by writer [[Stan Lee]] and artist/co-creator [[Jack Kirby]] and first appeared in ''[[Uncanny X-Men|X-Men]]'' #1 (Sept. [[1963 in comics|1963]]) as Angel.<ref>{{Cite web |author=C. B. R.

He was rich and conceited. }}</ref> He appeared as a regular character in that title until it was cancelled with issue #66. The title was revived shortly after, reprinting earlier issues from issue #67 to #93. In 1970 and 1971, a three-part Angel solo feature was published as a back-up strip in ''Ka-Zar'' #2 and #3 and ''Marvel Tales'' #30.

Angel appeared in the ''X-Men'' revamp by [[Len Wein]] and [[Dave Cockrum]] in 1975 with the introduction of the "All-New, All-Different X-Men" (''Giant-Size X-Men'' #1 May 1975), but left the X-Men title with issue #94. Angel and fellow X-Man [[Iceman (Marvel Comics)|Iceman]] were transitioned into a new series called ''[[Champions (1975 team)|The Champions]]'', which ran from 1975 to 1978. Series creator [[Tony Isabella]] had wanted to do a series about Angel and Iceman traveling together on the highway, in the vein of ''[[Route 66 (TV series)|Route 66]]'', but the editors told him to make it into a full team book.<ref name="Isabella">Isabella, Tony. "Cables of Champions", ''The Champions'' #6, Marvel (June 1976).</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Walker|first=Karen|title='We'll Keep on Fighting 'Til the End': The Story of the Champions|journal=[[Back Issue!]]|issue=65 |pages=17–23|publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]]|date=July 2013|location= Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref>

Angel returned to the X-Men briefly in ''The [[Uncanny X-Men]]'' #134, officially returning to the roster in issue #138 before once again leaving in issue #148. Afterwards, the character, along with fellow founding X-Men [[Beast (Marvel Comics)|Beast]] and Iceman, joined the roster of [[The Defenders (comic book)|The Defenders]], as part of a short-lived "revamp" of the title, in which the series was renamed ''[[The Defenders (comic book)|The New Defenders]]''. Angel would stay with the title, as the group's leader, for the book's last three years of publication (1983–1986). The series was canceled in 1986 to free up Angel and his fellow X-Men to star in ''[[X-Factor (comic book)|X-Factor]]'', which debuted in February. Angel remained in the book until issue #70, which was the last issue before the book was revamped with an all-new roster. During ''X-Factor'' #16–24, the character is presumed dead after losing his wings and apparently killing himself in a plane crash. Angel was dramatically revamped as a character, given a new costume, blue skin, and metallic wings which could fire blades. He first appeared as Archangel in ''X-Factor'' #24 (Jan. [[1988 in comics|1988]]). According to ''X-Factor'' writer [[Louise Simonson]] and penciler [[Walt Simonson]], the Archangel revamp was motivated in part by their feeling that Angel was a [[Mary Sue]] (being wealthy, handsome, and adored by women), and in part by the fact that, due to the inflation of superhero abilities, Angel was underpowered compared to other characters in the Marvel Universe.<ref name="DAK39">{{cite news | first = Peter | last = Sanderson | author-link = Peter Sanderson | date = October 1986 | title = Walt & Louise Simonson | work = [[Comics Interview]] | issue = #39 | pages = 42–57 | publisher = [[Fictioneer Books]]}}</ref>

Angel was added to the cast of ''Uncanny X-Men'' title and appeared in that series and its companion series ''[[X-Men: Legacy|X-Men]]'' for most of the 1990s. In 1996, Marvel also published a one-shot story simply called ''Archangel'', which was written by [[Peter Milligan]]. He also appeared alongside [[Betsy Braddock|Psylocke]] in a [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] called ''Psylocke & Archangel: Crimson Dawn'' (August 1997 – November 1997, 4 issues). From 1999 to 2001, Angel also featured in the series ''[[X-Men: The Hidden Years]]'', which was set in the original X-Men's early days.

Under [[Joe Casey]] (2001–2002) and [[Chuck Austen]] (2002–2004), Angel became leader of the X-Men team that appeared in the pages of ''Uncanny X-Men''. After [[Chris Claremont]] replaced Austen on that title, the character went away for several months before reappearing in the pages of another Claremont-written series, ''Excalibur'' (vol. 3 2004). He continued to guest-star in the ''Incredible Hulk'' title during the events of ''[[World War Hulk]]'' (2007) and then returned to ''Uncanny X-Men'' (2008-2011) while simultaneously appearing in ''[[X-Force]]'' ([[X-Force#Volume 3|vol. 3]]) (2008-2010), where the character regained his metallic wings and again assumed the codename Archangel, and subsequently in ''[[Uncanny X-Force]]'' (2010-2011), in which his mind and personality were wiped.

After his personality was stripped, he appeared in a supporting role as one of the students at the ''Jean Grey School'' in ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men (comics)|Wolverine and the X-Men]]'' (2011–2013). He later joined Magneto's more militant X-Men team in ''Uncanny X-Men'' (2016-2017) and an international strike force in ''[[Astonishing X-Men]]'' (2017-2018) after his memory was restored. At the same time, a time-displaced version of Angel's younger self was brought to the present and starred in ''[[All-New X-Men]]'' (2012–2017) and ''[[X-Men Blue]]'' (2017-2018), before being returned to his correct time-period in the mini-series ''[[Extermination (comics)|Extermination]]'' (2018).

Angel appeared in ''[[House of X and Powers of X]]'' (2019), which detailed the birth of the Krakoan Age.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} He was made the CXO of Krakoa's new X-Corp and appeared in the mini-series ''Empyre: X-Men'' (2020), ''[[X-Corporation|X-Corp]]'' (2021) and ''[[Dark X-Men]]'' (2023).{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} As the Krakoa era came to a close, he was the focus of the 50th anniversary issue of ''Giant-Size X-Men'' (2024) and appeared in the mini-series ''X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse'' (2024).{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

== Fictional character biography ==
=== Angel ===
Warren Worthington III was born in [[Centerport, New York]], to Kathryn Worthington and [[Warren Worthington II]] and the grandson of Warren Worthington. He attends [[Phillips Exeter Academy]] in his adolescence when his feathered [[wing]]s begin to grow from his shoulder blades. At first, Warren feels he is a freak and aberration, but he soon learns that he can use his wings to fly and help people. When there is a fire in his dormitory, he borrows some props from the school's drama department, dresses up as a heavenly angel, and rescues his friends. He soon learns that he is in fact a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]]. He dons a mask and costume, calls himself the ''' Avenging Angel''', and becomes a solo adventurer, before being recruited by [[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]] for the X-Men.<ref>''The X-Men'' #54–56 (March – May 1969)</ref>

Warren's status as a wealthy playboy, as well as being an outspoken individual who chafes at the notion of being told what to do, is the subject of much tension within the X-Men. In particular, Warren is in love with [[Jean Grey]], who is in love with [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Scott Summers]], although he ultimately sets aside his love for Jean, coming to terms with the fact that Jean loves Scott.<ref name="love triangle">{{Cite comic| writer = [[Roy Thomas|Thomas, Roy]]|penciller = [[Roth, Werner]]|inker= [[Tartaglione, John]]| letterer = [[Sam Rosen (comics)|Rosen, Sam]]|editor=[[Lee, Stan]]|story = We Must Destroy...

While pursuing [[Sauron (Marvel Comics)|Sauron]] in the [[Savage Land]], Angel is attacked by ''[[Pteranodon]]''s and falls to his death. He would have remained dead if not for the "Creator", who is [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]] without his costume. Magneto provides the necessary medical treatment needed to revive Angel and provides him with a new blue-and-white costume.<ref>'' The X-Men'' #62 (November 1969)</ref> Unknown to Angel, the costume also has a device installed that lets Magneto gain control over Angel, which he does months later when he makes an attack on the X-Men.<ref>''The Avengers'' #110–111 (April – May 1973)</ref>

Around this time, Angel publicly reveals himself as a mutant after discovering that his uncle Burt Worthington (who goes by the name of the Dazzler — though he is in no way related to Alison Blaire, a later mutant heroine and brief love interest for Warren in her own comic series who also uses the name) has not only murdered his father,<ref>'' Ka-Zar'' #2–3 (December 1970, March 1971); ''Marvel Tales'' #30 (April 1971)</ref> but also poisoned his mother to ensure his inheritance of the Worthington fortune.<ref>''X-Men the Hidden Years'' #16–18</ref>

He is kidnapped by the [[Morlocks (comics)|Morlock]] leader [[Callisto (comics)|Callisto]], who intends to force Angel to be her lover. [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]], [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]], [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]], and [[Kitty Pryde|Sprite]] arrive in time to stop Callisto from cutting off Angel's wings (believing that without them, Angel will be unable to flee from her). Storm fights and defeats Callisto for the right to be the leader of the Morlocks, effectively freeing Angel in the process.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #169–170 (May – June 1983)</ref>

Shortly thereafter, Angel joins the [[Defenders (comics)|Defenders]], along with Beast, Iceman, and girlfriend Candy Southern.<ref>''The Defenders'' #124 (October 1983); ''The New Defenders'' #125 (November 1983)</ref> Using Angel's New Mexico house as their base, the group has several adventures before most of the group are killed freeing teammate [[Moondragon]] from demonic possession.<ref>''The New Defenders'' #152 (February 1986)</ref>

Angel considers retirement following the collapse of the Defenders, but the discovery of Jean Grey alive changes his mind. Jean Grey is furious at the increase in anti-mutant hysteria in the two years she has been missing, and opposes the X-Men's decision to align themselves with the villain Magneto. To appease Jean's desire for action, Warren organizes X-Factor.<ref>''X-Factor'' #1 (February 1986)</ref> He recruits his old prep school friend [[Cameron Hodge]] to run the team, unaware that Cameron hates mutants, particularly Warren.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} Since Cyclops is married to [[Madelyne Pryor]] at the time and reacts coldly to Jean's return, Angel takes advantage of Jean's need for emotional support and expresses his love for her.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} This destroys Warren's relationship with Candy Southern, after Candy finds Warren consoling Jean.<ref>''X-Factor'' #10 (November 1986)</ref>

=== Archangel ===
X-Factor's formation begins a period of upheaval in Warren's life. Cameron Hodge abuses Warren's trust and portrays X-Factor as "mutant hunters" for hire, further fueling anti-mutant sentiment.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} An altercation with the [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] allows [[Mystique (character)|Mystique]] to discover the relationship between the "mutant hunters" and the former X-Men; she exposes Warren as the financial backer for X-Factor, causing a public relations nightmare.<ref>''X-Factor'' #9</ref> Warren's wings are mutilated during the "[[Mutant Massacre]]" by the [[Marauders (comics)|Marauder]], [[Harpoon (comics)|Harpoon]].<ref>''Thor'' #373–374</ref> When the wings develop gangrene, [[Cameron Hodge]] violates Angel's wishes and has the crippled wings [[amputated]].<ref>''X-Factor'' #14</ref> Despondent over the loss, Warren escapes the hospital and commandeers his private jet.

Seconds before the explosion, Warren is spirited away by the ancient mutant [[Apocalypse (character)|Apocalypse]]. Apocalypse offers to restore Angel's wings if Angel will serve him as one of the [[Horsemen of Apocalypse]].<ref>''X-Factor'' #18</ref> Apocalypse subjects Angel to extensive genetic alterations, giving him blue skin and organic metal wings which can cut through almost anything. The wings can fire the metal feathers as projectiles. Apocalypse gives Worthington the title of Death. He makes Worthington the leader of his Horsemen after Worthington beats the others in a fight, and gives him a drug that remove his reservations to follow Apocalypse's dark plans.<ref>''X-Factor'' #17, 21</ref> Death is unveiled to X-Factor during their second encounter with the Horsemen,<ref>''X-Factor'' #23</ref> and Warren sadistically exploits the weaknesses of his friends to defeat them in combat.<ref>"X-Factor" #24</ref> During a later attack on Manhattan, Iceman fakes his own death at Warren's hands, hoping that the shock of killing a friend will enable him to break free of the influence of Apocalypse's drug. Although freed, Warren refuses to rejoin X-Factor, feeling that he has changed too much psychologically to be a hero.<ref>''X-Factor'' #25</ref>

He seeks out Candy Southern, but finds that she is missing.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} Warren learns that Candy has been lobotomized to protect Cameron Hodge's secrets, including the establishment of the anti-mutant militia "The Right" using funds embezzled from Worthington.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} In the confrontation that follows, Hodge murders Candy in front of Warren and Warren decapitates Hodge.<ref>''X-Factor'' #34</ref> Changing his codename from "Death" to "Dark Angel", he later rejoins X-Factor and takes the codename "Archangel" during the events of "[[Inferno (Marvel Comics)|Inferno]]".<ref>''X-Factor'' #36</ref>

=== Angel again ===
After rejoining the X-Men, Archangel's brooding behavior lessens, after Jean reveals to Warren that his wings (which Warren believes have a mind of their own) have actually been operating off Warren's own unconscious desires for violence.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #293</ref> This, combined with Warren's accidental decapitation of [[Mutant Liberation Front]] member [[Kamikaze (comics)|Kamikaze]],<ref>''X-Factor'' #85</ref> leads Warren to try to reject the dark cloud that has hung over his head ever since gaining his new wings. His relationship with Charlotte Jones fades as Warren begins dating fellow X-Men member [[Betsy Braddock|Psylocke]].<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #319, December 1994</ref> In an attempt to put his dark days behind him, Warren retires his "Death" uniform in favor of the blue/white costume Magneto made for him.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=June 2018}}

After Psylocke is eviscerated by X-Men prisoner [[Sabretooth (character)|Sabretooth]] during an escape attempt, Warren and the X-Men track him down and capture him, but not before he is able to badly damage Warren's metal wings.<ref>''Sabretooth Special'' #1 - In The Red, September 1995</ref> Over time, the damage to his wings spreads. Eventually, the metal wings shatter completely, revealing that his feathered wings have been growing back within them and have broken them apart from the inside.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #338</ref> This follows a visit from [[Ozymandias (Marvel Comics)|Ozymandias]], who tells him that he is indeed one of Apocalypse's chosen ones.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} Reclaiming his original '''Angel''' powers, Warren still retains his blue skin color.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}}

Angel is one of several X-Men who are present when [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]]'s culpability in the events of the "Mutant Massacre" is made public by Magneto, which turns him against his teammate.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #350</ref> Shortly afterwards, with the X-Men broke and their mansion stripped bare by the US Government, Angel volunteers money to help keep the team going, though this requires his reclaiming full control over his family company to do so.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} Tracking some of his company's finances at this time, Warren discovers the former villains the [[Thunderbolts (comics)|Thunderbolts]] retrieving a jet that was used by the Champions, but although initially suspicious of the Thunderbolts' motives, after joining them in a confrontation with [[Graviton (character)|Graviton]], Warren accepts their genuine desire to reform, leaving them with the jet as he wishes them luck.<ref>''Thunderbolts'' #27-30</ref> Angel returns to the X-Men following the events of ''[[Apocalypse: The Twelve]]'', in which his wings (temporarily) further mutate into wings made of light and he gains talon-like hands and healing powers, which Warren uses to restore the mobility of crippled Horseman of Apocalypse [[War (Marvel Comics)|War]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} Returning to the X-Men, Warren finds his relationship with Psylocke gone, as she has begun dating new X-Men recruit [[Thunderbird (Neal Shaara)|Thunderbird]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}}

=== Archangel returns ===
In ''X-Force'' vol. 3 #4, Warren is brutally attacked by a mind-controlled [[Wolfsbane (character)|Wolfsbane]]. During the attack, Wolfsbane rips Warren's wings off and runs away, taking the wings with her.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 3 #4</ref> It is revealed by [[Elixir (character)|Elixir]] that Warren's wings, despite appearing fully organic, are actually still [[Techno-organic virus|techno-organic]] constructs that he is unable to regenerate.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=January 2011}} Wolfsbane later delivers the wings to the [[Purifiers (Marvel Comics)|Purifiers]], who are seeking the Apocalypse Strain, the techno-organics which comprise Warren's wings. The Purifiers use the Apocalypse Strain to modify an army of Purifier agents, giving them the same metallic wings that Archangel once had.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=January 2011}} Meanwhile, although Elixir is able to heal all of Warren's injuries, he cannot regrow his wings due to interference from the Apocalypse Strain. Later in the story, Warren is gripped by a series of excruciating seizures that not only mysteriously regenerate his techno-organic wings, but also transform him back into Apocalypse's version of Death/Archangel, complete with blue skin and a techno-organic version of his uniform.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 2 #4</ref>

X-Force attacks Archangel, who eventually asks for relief from the pain of losing his wings and transforming into Archangel.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 2 #5</ref> Archangel escapes, to take revenge on the Purifiers, and at their headquarters he slaughters most of them in a blood-maddened rage. Once the battle is over, he reverts to his normal Caucasian, feather-winged appearance. He comments to [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] that he can still feel the metal wings inside him, and that they want to come out again. According to Elixir, Warren's transformation is permanent, implying that he is fully capable of transforming back into Archangel again at any time.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 2 #6</ref>

In an attempt to understand what was done to both Wolfsbane and Angel, the pair of them are placed in a room together, where Rahne is forced to gaze at Warren. The mere sight of him causes her to become murderous once again, and she attempts to rip the wings from Warren's body once more. The sight of a psychotic Wolfsbane, as well as the fear of having his wings torn from his body again, causes a defensive reaction in Warren, reverting him back into his violent Archangel persona.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}}

From then on, Angel takes dual membership with both the X-Men and X-Force, though Cyclops forbids Angel from telling the rest of the team about the return of his Archangel powers.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}} While recruiting a scientist for Beast's "Science Squad", the X-Club, Angel is forced to transform into Archangel to destroy a giant rampaging monster. Beast reacts in anger that Angel has not told him that his "Death" powers have returned, creating tension between the two friends. Angel knows telling Beast would expose the latest incarnation of X-Force and effectively end Cyclops' latest tenure as leader if the truth about his personal black ops squad became public knowledge.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}}

During the X-Club's trip to 1906 to discover the origins of the modern mutant race, Angel transforms into Archangel a number of times to help further their mission.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=September 2009}}

During the ''[[Fear Itself (comics)|Fear Itself]]'' storyline, Wolverine and Archangel interrogate Purifiers member Benedict Ryan on where Jonathan Standish is hiding out.<ref>''Fear Itself: Uncanny X-Force'' #2</ref>

=== Dark Angel Saga ===
In the "Dark Angel Saga", the "Archangel" persona of Warren, which was secretly created when he was first transformed by Apocalypse into his  Horseman of Death, has finally taken over his mind, and he plans to be the heir to Apocalypse, bringing [[Ozymandias (Marvel Comics)|Ozymandias]], [[Dark Beast (Marvel Comics)|Dark Beast]], [[Horsemen of Apocalypse#The Final Horsemen|the Final Horsemen]], [[Famine (comics)|Autumn Rolfson]], and her son Genocide as his army to destroy humanity.<ref>''Uncanny X-Force'' #11–16</ref> At the conclusion of the story arc Betsy stabs Archangel in the chest with the Celestial Life Seed, seemingly killing him. In the aftermath of the explosion of Apocalypse's citadel, Warren is seen by the members of X-Force walking in the snow. Psylocke, shocked that he is alive and apparently free of Apocalypse, runs up and embraces him. This Warren then reveals he had no idea who Psylocke is and appears to have amnesia. Warren has his normal white skin again but seems to have retained his metallic wings.<ref>''Uncanny X-Force'' #18</ref>

=== Death and new personality ===
Following the Dark Angel Saga, it is revealed that Warren had indeed died and his soul departed for the afterlife, with his Celestial-mutated body now hosting an all-new personality with its own soul. He lost leadership of Worthington Industries and became a student in [[Wolverine and the X-Men (comics)|Wolverine's new school for mutants]].<ref name="wx4" />
Although the new entity, who has chosen to retain the same name of Warren Worthington III and the code name of "Angel" is making efforts to be integrated, it is clear that he has no memory at all of the original Warren Worthington's friends and acquaintances, as his discussions with Iceman demonstrate and how he turned away former lover Psylocke.<ref name="wx4">''Wolverine and the X-Men'' #4 (2012)</ref>

===Warren's children/Apocalypse Twins===
In an apocalyptic possible future, an aging [[Punisher|Frank Castle]] warns the present-day [[Deadpool]] of the "son of Archangel".<ref>''Uncanny X-Force'' #29 (2012)</ref> During ''Uncanny Avengers'' (2013), it is revealed that while preparing to ascend as Apocalypse during the "Dark Angel Saga", Warren fathered two children with Pestilence of [[Horsemen of Apocalypse#The Final Horsemen|the Final Horsemen]], who appear as '''Uriel''' and '''Elimin''', the time-traveling [[Kang the Conqueror]]-disciples "'''Apocalypse Twins'''".<ref>''Uncanny Avengers'' #7 (2013)</ref>

=== All-New, All-Different Marvel ===
As part of the ''[[All-New, All-Different Marvel]]'' event, Angel has mysteriously reverted somehow to his pre-LifeSeed blue-skinned Archangel form, and appears as a member of Magneto's [[Uncanny X-Men#2015–present: Volume 4|new Uncanny X-Men]] to protect mutantkind at all costs.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #1</ref>

=== Apocalypse Wars ===
Psylocke and Magneto travel to Green Ridge, Colorado to investigate reports of an up-and-coming preacher who looks identical to the original Angel. They discover that he is indeed the Angel who was created by the Celestial LifeSeed and he is attracting a cult of religious fanatics around him.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #6</ref> It is revealed that during the 8-month timeskip after the events of Secret Wars, Angel allied himself with Apocalypse's son, [[Holocaust (Marvel Comics)|Genocide]] and the [[Clan Akkaba]] in exchange for their help in controlling his Horseman of Death split-personality, which has revived as it is permanently linked to his own metal wings. Clan Akkaba are constantly harvesting Angel's rapidly-regenerating metal wings (to prevent the Death persona from fully possessing Angel) and grafting them into his clones, creating a mindless clone army of blue-skinned Archangels. The silent Archangel who is a member of Magneto's team of X-Men was merely the first such clone who retained trace memories of the original Angel and thus managed to escape to join Magneto's X-Men. Magneto and Psylocke are captured, but Psylocke easily escapes. She gets into a fight with Fantomex, who was sent by Magneto as back-up with Mystique, who herself freed Magneto.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #8</ref> Psylocke in a panic calls for the Archangel who is their teammate, who then telepathically controls the rest of the clone army into destroying the town, but the clones are all killed.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #9</ref> In a flashback, it is revealed that Magneto accidentally found Angel's unconscious and injured body in a barn during the 8-month timeskip and helped him recover. Magneto at the time gave up on being a hero, as the rest of the X-Men had either disbanded or fled to Limbo, but then was inspired by Angel to restart his own version of the Uncanny X-Men.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #7</ref> It is implied that Angel disappeared after that encounter, only to "reappear" as the silent Archangel. In the present, a chastised and repentant Angel explains to Magneto and Psylocke that he and the silent Archangel are ultimately two half-parts of the same one being, so they physically combine into a new blue-skinned persona..<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 4 #10</ref>

== Powers and abilities ==
=== As Angel ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=March 2015}}
Warren's primary power is that of natural [[flight]], due to his large feathered wings. His wings have [[superhuman]] strength, and they have a very flexible skeletal structure that enables him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing. His bones are hollow, his body processes food much more efficiently than a normal human body and does not store any excess fat, and he possesses a greater proportionate muscle mass than normal. As a result, his strength, speed, agility, flexibility, endurance, reflexes, coordination, balance, eyesight and hearing are at their peak. Elements of his anatomy are comparable to those of birds, especially [[Bird of prey|birds of prey]]. His eyes can withstand high-speed winds which would damage the average human eye. He can breathe at high velocities or altitudes, and he can cope with the reduced temperatures at high altitudes for prolonged periods of time, giving him a greater-than-normal capacity to endure low temperatures in areas such as the Arctic. The strength in his natural wings can easily break a man's arm or leg, or even put someone through a wall.

While he generally flies below the height of clouds, Angel can reach almost twice this height with little effort. At his absolute maximum, he can reach the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight — about the height of [[Mount Everest]] — but he can only remain that high for a few minutes. Although flight is as natural a mode of transportation for Angel as for a bird, he can only fly nonstop under his own power for around half a day.

He has undergone heavy training with [[Professor X]], especially in mastering his flight indoors. He has demonstrated superior agility, flexibility, reflexes, coordination, and balance while flying, and has been shown defeating superbeings much faster than him (like the [[Human Torch]]{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}}) by dodging them and having them smash against the ground or a wall at full speed.

Angel is also an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant,<ref name="All-New X-Men #8">''All-New X-Men'' #8</ref> having defeated several of the werewolf-like ''homo superior'' when Wolverine is defeated.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}} He is trained in hand-to-hand combat at Xavier's school; while dating Psylocke, he receives a considerable amount of martial arts instruction.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}} During his years on the team, he is given extensive training from Wolverine, and when he once surprises Wolverine after taking down some men, he says, "My father spoiled me with more than money."{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}} He also receives further instruction from [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]] and [[Hercules (Marvel Comics)|Hercules]] during his days with the [[Champions (1975 team)|Champions]].{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}}

As the result of a [[secondary mutation]] which has been shown inconsistently, Angel also develops a healing factor and can heal others by mixing his blood with theirs, provided they have a matching [[blood type]] to Warren's.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}} His healing blood does not work with [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]].<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #431 (November 2003)</ref> Although powerful, this mutation varies in potency. At times, he cannot aid the terminally wounded; at others, he can raise the recently deceased.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2012}} This secondary mutation suggests that he may be descended from the ancient [[Cheyarafim]] mutants.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2012}} He is nearly immune to injury because his healing blood is constantly flowing through him. At its onset, he repairs broken bones in days,{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2012}} but his healing abilities have enhanced since then.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2012}} In an issue of ''X-Force'' it is apparent that this healing factor comes from his wings as seen when Warren is savagely attacked and his wings are ripped from his body, his healing factor fails to work, and he instead must be healed by [[Elixir (character)|Elixir]]. It is revealed that the Celestial Technology bonded to him by Apocalypse prevents Elixir from regenerating his wings.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2012}} They eventually regenerate on their own.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}}

Aside from his superhuman powers, the original Warren was a most-highly capable businessman and the new Warren has accordingly retained or "inherited" his position as the primary stockholder and chairman emeritus (former chairman) of the board-of-directors of Worthington Industries.

=== As Archangel ===
Archangel possesses a set of metal techno-organic wings grafted onto him by the genetic engineering of [[Apocalypse (character)|Apocalypse]] when Apocalypse renames him the Horseman of Death.<ref>''X-Factor'' #24</ref> These wings are composed of a durable, organic material that resembles the "organic steel" of [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]]' body.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harn |first=Darby |date=October 2, 2022 |title=Harley Quinn & 9 Other Comics Henchmen Who Outdid Their Bosses |url=https://screenrant.com/harley-quinn-comics-henchmen-outdid-bosses/ |access-date=October 31, 2022 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US}}</ref> The wings give him the ability to project his metallic feathers out from his wings at great speed and with tremendous force, enabling them to pierce even steel, tipped with poison.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harth |first=David |date=November 28, 2021 |title=10 Powerful Marvel Heroes Who Used To Be Weak |url=https://www.cbr.com/powerful-marvel-heroes-weak-before/ |access-date=October 31, 2022 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref>

Archangel does not have complete control over his feathers, which sometimes shoot from his wings against his conscious will in response to his unconscious aggressive drives. The feathers are laced with a neural inhibitor chemical, generated by Archangel's body, which induces temporary [[paralysis]].
These wings allow him to fly at speeds much faster than his natural, feathered wings. The edges of these metal wings are also razor sharp, allowing them to be used as weapons.

While he believes he has lost his metal wings when he re-grows his organic ones, the Celestial Technology never leaves his system, and his natural-appearing wings contain the Celestial technology. When implanted into regular human beings, the technology induces a transformation similar to that of Warren's. When his feathered wings are severed from his body by Wolfsbane, his metal wings grow back in their place. Furthermore, his skin reverts to blue and his old Archangel costume appears.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2010}} Warren's body returns to normal — the metal wings being replaced with the appearance of his feathered ones — indicating that Warren has the ability to switch between metal and feathered wings and his Angel and Archangel appearances.<ref>''X-Force'' vol. 3 #7</ref> As Archangel, Warren retains his healing factor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Montalbano |first=Marc |date=May 15, 2020 |title=X-Men Anatomy: 5 Weirdest Things About Angel's Body, Explained |url=https://www.cbr.com/x-men-anatomy-weirdest-things-angel-explained/ |access-date=October 31, 2022 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref> The wings have been shown capable to heal Apocalypse.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=March 2012}}. In issue 14 of ''X-Men: Second Coming'', Dr. Nemesis questions the rate that they would grow as the biology is different from Colossus' armor.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2010}}

After the death of Warren and the Archangel persona via the Life Seed, Angel comes back to life as an [[amnesiac]] with healing powers far beyond what he was ever able to originally accomplish, as demonstrated when he resurrects a recently dead dog.<ref name="wx4" />

=== Time-displaced Warren Worthington III ===

The time displaced Warren, from [[All-New X-Men]], initially started with feathered wings, but during [[The Black Vortex]] saga he was imbued with Cosmic wings.<ref name="gotg_bv">''Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex''. Marvel Comics.</ref> These new wings allow him to travel at faster than light speeds. He can also discharge cosmic blasts that can destroy spaceships. He can feed off cosmic energy, thus survive in outer space and without sustenance.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=December 2018}} These wings were surgically removed by a younger version of Cable and replaced with wings that Mimic had copied from Angel in their original meeting, allowing him to be returned to the past with no effect on the timeline.<ref name="extermination_4">''Extermination'' #4</ref>

James Hunt of ''[[CBR.com]]'' called ''Angel: Revelations'' #1 a "prodigious talent on display," saying, "The religious imagery gives the book a consistent motif and the literal "angel" aspect of the character takes a lot more focus that it usually receives when the character is dealt with. Of all the X-Men, Warren probably has the "origin" story that relates itself most directly to the idea of emergent mutant powers being a metaphor for adolescence. Being a Marvel Knights title, it's unclear whether this origin is "in-continuity" or not, but ultimately it shouldn't matter. If the rest of the series is as good as this opening issue, it's going to be an utterly beautiful read and, if you're reading this at a time when it's too late to start collecting the series, it'll almost certainly be worth splashing out for the hardcover just to make sure the format does the story justice. It's definitely good to see Marvel happy to put out a series that looks a little more experimental than their usual fare, and if there's any justice in the industry it'll pay off nicely."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hunt |first=James |date=June 5, 2008 |title=Angel: Revelations #1 |url=https://www.cbr.com/angel-revelations-1/ |access-date=October 31, 2022 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref> Bryan Joel of ''[[IGN]]'' gave ''Angel: Revelations'' #1 a grade of 8.1 out of 10, writing, "Truthfully, Angel's origin probably needed an update. Considering the sort of character he's become and the advancements his powers eventually received, the origin doesn't really line up. Thankfully, Aguirre-Sacasa seems to agree and has crafted ''Revelations'' to remedy that. Issue #1 features the basics of Warren immediately pre-power onset, where he's attending a private school and worrying about the changes to his body. The script also interjects a couple scenes of more sinister things going on, which elevates this above the level of simple rehash. There almost seems to be more attention paid to religion, a pet theme of Aguirre-Sacasa's; the title of this series isn't just a play on words. Suffice it to say, I'm surprisingly interested to see how this all plays out.  One of the main selling points, though, is the art by Adam Pollina. Probably most renowned for his extended run on the first volume of ''X-Force'', his work in ''Revelations'' couldn't be further from the tradition style seen there. Now he's somewhere between Skottie Young and... Salvador Dali, perhaps? But in a good way. I can definitely see how the weird, deformed style will bug some readers, but I think it's deeply engaging and gives the whole issue a more spiritual and mystical feel. It might not be exactly in step with an Angel series, but it's at least something different and I appreciate that."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Joel |first=Bryan |date=May 30, 2008 |title=Angel: Revelations #1 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/05/30/angel-revelations-1-review |access-date=October 31, 2022 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref>

Ryan K. Lindsay of ''[[CBR.com]]'' called ''Iceman and Angel'' #1 "as much fun as you want, but as pithy as you expect too," asserting, "A one-shot should be a comic that stands on its own, and this issue certainly does that. It needs to give you enough narrative meat to feel like the money was well invested, and this issue mostly does that. It should elicit some form of strong reaction from you in the few pages it has, and this issue works hard to make you laugh and is more successful than not. See Namor score some bagels and Googam become a broheim. It's not earth shattering but it is solid fun and sometimes that's just what you need.

The modern series is all about hard decisions, hard edges, and hard core self protection, but back in the day, they were just a bunch of kids who hung out together. Iceman and Angel in particular were pretty fun together, because one was a goofball and the other was a self-styled ladies man. Brian Clevinger has proven that he can do stories like this, where he takes a slice of time and expands on it in a meaningful way, and Juan Doe is a pretty great artist. Add in GOOM, a classic Marvel villain, and you've got a story that I think is going to be a pretty good read. ''X-Men First Class'' may be dead in name, but these one-shots are doing a pretty good job of keeping the feeling alive."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brothers |first=David |date=28 December 2010 |title=The 10 Top Marvel Comics Coming in March 2011 |url=https://comicsalliance.com/marvel-comics-march-2011/ |access-date=October 19, 2022 |website=ComicsAlliance |language=en}}</ref>
