Who is Angel?

A winged mutant and founding member of the X-Men, Angel possesses large feathered wings granting him natural flight. Born to wealth, Warren Worthington III uses his extraordinary mutation to fight alongside Professor X's team as one of Marvel's earliest mutant heroes.

Soaring out of the Silver Age in 1969, Angel made their debut in Fantask #5 under the legendary creative hands of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby — a pedigree that instantly signals this is a character worth paying attention to. Published by Editions Lug across a remarkable 56 years, Angel has proven to be one of the most enduring figures in the catalog, racking up 156 appearances and no fewer than 20 key issues that collectors prize. Their adventures unfold most prominently across Strange, Titans, and Spécial Strange, sharing pages with some of comics' most iconic names — Jean Grey, Scott Summers, Peter Parker, and Iron Man among them. That kind of company, sustained across more than five decades, tells you everything about Angel's staying power in the world of comics.
