BRIEF HISTORY

Warren was born a mutant, revealing his powers of flying in his adolescence, when a pair of wings grew in his back. He then joined the original X Men, being a full time member of the team until the incident of Krakoa (the living island) when a new team was formed and he retired to live with her girlfriend Candy Southern. He joined the Defenders for a short time, but lived retired from adventures until the revival of Jean Grey (to whom he's always loved a bit), using then part of his enormous fortune to bring X Factor out to light. By then, he was The Angel.

At first, X Factor pretended to be a organization to fight mutants, but it was in fact planned to save them, training the new ones in the use of their powers (again the ol' prof Xavier's dream). Unfortunately, the executive in charge of X Factor, Cameron Hodge, who was supposed to be Warren's friend was really member of an anti-mutant organization known as The Right, and due to his plots, Warren lost his wings and seemed to suicide in an helicopter.

Warren wasn't really dead, but captured by Apocalypse to join his group as Death. Apocalypse gave him a new pair of metallic wings, whose feathers he can throw like razors and are also impregned of a narcotic substance.

Warren got free of Apocalypse, but his new wings resulted to be evil, and only controlled by the man's will. When he's unconcious, the wings can act separately. Another effects of the transformation were a change is his old jolly character, turning into a reserved and sad guy, and his skin turning blue. He renamed himself then Archangel.

Cameron not only got the Angel's wings cut, but also stole his fortune, although it seems that he has still a large quantity of money and one of the most luxurious night clubs in Manhattan. He was killed by Warren,but kept coming back, first as a monstruous cyborg during Xtinction Agenda and later as part of the Phalanx, during the Phalanx Covenant. If not enough, he also murdered Candy Southern and absorbed her into the Phalanx.

Warren had a relationship with a police agent, Charlotte, but that came to an end, and lately he has coupled with Elizabeth Braddock (Psylocke).

NOTE:he had a short career as a criminal before joining the X-men
