Angel

Angel Salvadore is a mutant student introduced during Grant Morrison's reinvention of the X-Men, first appearing in New X-Men #131. A rebellious young woman, she navigates life at the Xavier Institute while grappling with a mutation that sets her apart even among mutantkind.

Emerging from Grant Morrison's landmark early-2000s reinvention of the X-Men universe, this Angel made her debut in New X-Men #131 in 2002 — a Modern Age introduction that places her squarely among one of Marvel's most celebrated and boundary-pushing creative runs. With just seven catalog appearances, she's a rare and quietly intriguing presence, yet one of those issues carries genuine key-issue weight for collectors who know where to look. She moves through a world populated by luminaries like Hank McCoy, Logan, and Charles Xavier, as well as fellow students Esme Cuckoo and Barnell Bohusk, making her a distinctive thread woven into a rich and beloved tapestry — a hidden gem for any serious Morrison-era X-Men enthusiast.
