"I bet I'm the first ANGEL who had to break into heaven!" --ANGEL
With the X-Men First Class movie looming in the horizon, we need to educate the non-comicbook reader who were part of the real X-Men First Class… before its too late.
Who is ANGEL?
ANGEL is Warren Worthington III, a wealthy individual gifted with the ability of flight due to his mutation of large bird-like wings. But his ANGELic look hides a dark side when he was experimented upon by an evil mutant and turned him into a lethal ANGEL of Death.
ANGEL is one of the original members of the X-Men. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-creator Jack Kirby, he first appeared in X-Men (vol. 1) #1 (September 1963). A mutant, ANGEL originally possesses a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back, enabling him to fly. He is the heir and CEO of the multi-billion dollar Worthington Industries. This privileged background results in Warren being stereotyped as an arrogant and self-absorbed playboy during his early years with the X-Men. This personality was ultimately replaced with a more introspective and brooding personality in the late 1980s, when the character was revamped into the more grim and gritty "ArchANGEL" persona.
