Archangel
Warren Kenneth Worthington III, originally Angel and better known as Archangel, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is a founding member of the X-Men. Angel, being a mutant, originally possesses a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back, enabling him to fly. He is the heir to a multi-billion dollar corporation called Worthington Industries. This privileged background results in Warren being stereotyped a self-absorbed playboy during his early years with the X-Men. This personality was ultimately replaced with a more introspective and brooding personality in the late 1980s, when the character was revamped into the more grim and gritty "Archangel" persona. One of the original X-Men, Archangel has had a frequent presence in X-Men-related comic books throughout the years. He appeared occasionally in X-Men animated series and video games. Ben Foster played the role of Angel in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand and Ben Hardy will portray him in the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse.
