History

Son of a multimillionaire, Warren Worthington became one of Professor X's first students after his mutation manifested and caused wings to sprout from his back. Later, he was transformed by Apocalypse into an Archangel of Death, only recovering once Apocalypse had been defeated. He still carries the mental scars of Apocalypse's brainwashing, as well as the bio-metallic wings that replaced his feathers.

He was one of the many superheroes who joined S.H.I.E.L.D.'s alliance against villains after a mysterious Pulse hit the Earth and left a material called Isotope-8, desired by both heroes and villains.

When Apocalypse later abducted several X-Men and created a new team of Horsemen, it was revealed that Angel was one of several heroes to have previously fallen under his sway.[1]
