In What If...? #101: "Angel of Death", Archangel returns to X-Factor after Apocalypse’s apparent demise—only to unravel into something far darker. As the team grapples with his increasingly lethal methods, a brutal clash with the Marauders reveals a chilling truth: Archangel’s mission was never truly over. Written by Johnny Green and Bill Rosemann, with art by Fred Haynes and inks by Art Thibert, Alan Martinez, and Hack Shack Studios, this story explores the cost of perfection in the shadow of a fallen god. The cover by Fred Haynes captures the grim intensity of a mutant reborn as a harbinger.

Archangel returns to X-Factor after Apocalypse’s apparent demise, but his return brings a chilling shift—his justice is no longer measured, it’s final. As the team battles the Marauders, Archangel’s merciless strikes reveal a darker allegiance, leaving allies and enemies alike dead in his wake. Apocalypse, furious at the destruction of key mutants, realizes too late that the Angel of Death he forged may have outgrown even his control.
