Archangel[]

Alias: No different from above

Designation: Mutant/Artificially Enhanced

Powers: Archangel possesses a set of metal techno-organic wings composed of a hard, sharp, organic material. The wings gave 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.

This Incarnation: Classic

First Appearance: X-Factor #38

During a mission to save the Morlocks from being massacred by the Marauders, Warren's wings were pinned to the wall by the Marauder Harpoon. His wings were severely injured to the point that amputation was necessary for him to live. Distraught by this experience, Warren attempted suicide, and was believed dead, although he was actually rescued by Apocalypse. Warren agreed to serve Apocalypse in return for his new cybernetic wings. Apocalypse warped his body and mind into his own "Angel of Death," and placed him into his team of Horsemen. As Death, Warren fought the rest of X-Factor, but was soon brought out of his brainwashing after Iceman faked his own death at Warren's hands. He then rejoined his team as the somber and brooding "Archangel."
