Who is ANGEL SALVADORE?
ANGEL SALVADORE, who is often simply called Angel is a fictional character in the X-Men universe created by Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver. She first appeared in New X-Men #118.
ANGEL SALVADORE mutation first manifested when she was fourteen. Driven out of her home by his abusive step father. One morning she found herself waking up in a cocoon developing a pair of insect wings.
She is then captured by a group of men who harvest mutant parts to use for their own purposes. Wolverine came to her rescue and brought her to Xavier's school.
At the institute at first Angel doesn't fit in well, but She would later prove helpful fighting alongside the X-Men and their pupils against menaces like Cassandra Nova.
Also in the Xavier Institute he met and later fell in love with a strange-looking mutant, Barnell Bohusk who is also known as Beak.
Growing closer Angel and Beak were then assigned to the “Special Class,” which was taught by the mysterious Chinese mutant known as Xorn. There, both Angel and Beak found a common acceptance and friends.
After a couple of Amorous tryst, Angel revealed to Beak that she is pregnant.
Because of her mutation, Angel's pregnancy came to full term in only 5 days. She then laid a large clutch of insect-like eggs. When they hatched the children look mostly human but with some of Angel's fly characteristics (such as insect-like wings) or Beak's chicken morphology.
Angel's instructor Xorn claims that he actually is Magneto he then use his influence over the Special Class to convince them to join his new Brotherhood.
Angel and Beak would then change back to the side of the X-Men. When Xorn is finally defeated they return to the institute, ANGEL SALVADORE and Beak would then be allowed to stay in a cabin near the Institute mansion, to live as a family.
During the event called "M-Day" where the powerful Scarlet Witch uttered the hex spell “No more mutants”, ANGEL SALVADORE, her family with Beak, and million more mutants find themselves depowered. Only one of their children remained a mutant.
Still can't let of superhero adventures, ANGEL SALVADORE along with Beak resurfaced in the newest incarnation of the New Warriors.

Message to the CBM community:
To those who are making requests, check first [here] because I might have done an article on the character already. If I have not please be patient, I will get on it as soon as possible (but consider the fact that I spend hours writing one of these articles). Try to limit your request to characters that already have been adapted to live media, so that the feature will at least be relevant to the site – Comic Book Movie(though I include TV characters). Characters in Manga or Anime’, I am not particularly familiar of, I am not discounting these characters but it will probably take some time before I write a feature on them because I have to read up on these characters. Thank you for reading these articles! If there are errors on the feature article above, blame it on my age, humanity and ignorance. Just be sure to check the comment section for the corrections, any error I made will surely be pointed out and corrected by much bigger geeks (because there will always be a bigger geek out there). -This has been PollMaster inviting you to the geekside. MABUHAY CBM and Godspeed!
