Known superhuman powers: The Angel is a mutant who can fly by means of natural wings, which span 16 feet from tip to tip. The Angel's entire anatomy is naturally adapted to flying. Because his bones are hollow like a bird's, he weighs far less than does an average man of his build. Worthington's body is virtually devoid of fat, and he possesses greater proportionate muscle than does a normal human. His eyes can withstand high-speed winds, and a special membrane in his respiratory system allows him to extract oxygen from the air at extreme velocities and altitudes.
History: Warren Worthington was attending a private school during his adolescence when wings began to grow from his shoulder blades. The wings reached their full adult size within months, but Worthington kept the appendages a secret by strapping them to his back and concealing them under his clothes. At first, he thought himself a freak. But after learning he could use his wings to fly, Worthington came to enjoy his new ability. Then, one night, there was a fire in his dormitory, and he resolved to use his power to save the students inside. Worthington wore a blonde wig and long nightshirt to conceal his identity, and he looked like an angel to eyewitnesses. Shortly thereafter, Worthington became a costumed crimefighter in New York City under the guise of the Avenging Angel. He was then contacted by the X-Men and agreed to join the team.
