History-
The Angel's mutant powers became apparent in his teens, and
within six months his feathered wings were full grown. At
first Warren was embarrassed of his wings and kept them hidden
beneath his clothes, but when he realised that he could fly
he became a crime fighter and took the name The Angel. He
was soon recruited by Professor
Xavier for his mutant team The X- Men. After the death
of his Parents Angel left the X- Men and used his considerable
inheritance to set up a new super group, The Champions in
Los Angeles. After the Champions broke up, Warren turned his
mind to his business, and returned briefly to the X- Men before
joining his friend The Beast
in The Defenders.

When the Defenders disbanded Warren got together with the
government and created the new group X- Factor to track down
rogue mutants from the Mutant registration program. Secretly
X- Factor were helping the mutants they were tracking.

During a period of Mutant disorder known as the The Mutant Massacre,
Angels wings were severely injured and had to be amputated.
He fell into a deep depression, and was thought to have died
when a plane he was piloting crashed. Secretly he had been abducted
by the Mutant Apocalypse who brainwashed him and replaced his
wings with deadly sharp metal ones and set him against the world
as Death, leader of his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Apocalypse
was eventually defeated and Angel returned to X- Factor, a very
different Angel. |
