Archangel (Marvel Comics) - powerful "support from the air"

The fact that a born to crawl or walk does not flymaybe Warren Kenneth Worthington III doubted while studying at school, when he had to hide his rapidly growing wings under his clothes. Well, he was completely convinced that it was not so when he became Archangel - the character of the universe Marvel, winged superhero and one of the wards of Professor Xavier, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

First flight

Despite the fact that Warren grew up in a rich family,his childhood cloudless can not be called, because already from a young age his wings began to grow. The problem was that the guy had to go to school, and with his mutation the future Archangel (Marvel Comics) was slightly different from the rest of the children.

The first time the wings could be easily hiddenunder clothes, but each day their size only increased, and soon they gave him the opportunity to fly, which turned out to be very useful. Once in the student hostel there was a fire, which forced Warren to spread his wings to save the residents in the building.

A little later, the wings stoppedclothes, and parents learned about them. They could not accept the fact that their son is a mutant, because in a similar family of all sorts of mutations were considered a disgrace. So they took his son to his country estate, where he was brought up as a servant, while his parents carefully concealed the son's feature from the press.

School of mutants

Fortunately for Warren, he noticed Professor Charles Xavier. He offered the boy training in school along with other mutants, which was delighted not only by the Archangel (Marvel Comics), but also by his parents.

They liked that there would be Warrento look after the expert, after all it has allowed them to be removed from education of own son. Since then, the guy became a member of the detachment "X-Men." And it was there that he received the name Archangel (although in fact there were more names).

Not the Archangel, but Death

Warren Worthington III can not be callednegative character, although his bright name can be found and dark spots. Once in one of the battles, the Archangel (Marvel Comics) was badly injured and, being in the hospital, was deprived of his wings. This greatly damaged the hero, but the Apocalypse asked him to return them, to which he immediately agreed, not suspecting that this is a trick.

As a result, he was subjected to serious geneticchanges - the skin became blue, and the wings are metallic and sharp as a razor. He began to fly faster and higher. He became a horseman of the Apocalypse called Death. Then his character changed, he became a ruthless and bloodthirsty killer. Later, when he managed to get rid of the influence of the villain, he participated in its destruction.
