Summary

  • As revealed in The Original X-Men #1, Angel's wings can be easily grounded by removing crucial "flight feathers".
  • Warren's wings are visually stunning but impractical and easily injured, as his history has made clear time and again.
  • Warren has compensated for his weakness for the years, most notably when his original wings were amputated and replaced with steel wings, granted by Apocalypse in exchange for serving him as a Horseman.
