History

Early Life

Much of the early history of Warren Worthington III mirrored that of his Earth-616 counterpart. At some point, Warren regained his feather wings and pink skin. He was a member of the X-Men, but appears to have left the group either before or when it disbanded.

In time, Warren came to believe that the X-Men had exacerbated anti-mutant sentiment by following visions of a dark future where every hero on Earth had been killed by the Sentinels. He also came to believe that his old teacher Charles Xavier had been foolish to try and convince humanity that there was no difference between them and mutantkind, and that they instead should have fought enemies that threatened both humanity and mutantkind.

Mutation of Humanity

When humanity was mutated, Warren was among many heroes trying to help people in a world gripped by chaos and anarchy. Together with fellow former X-Man Iceman, he began delivering groceries to those who were not powerful enough to safely leave their homes.

As the trade industry declined following the mutation of mankind, Warren lost his fortunes, but found himself liberated. He became a guardian of all who fell under the shadow of his wings, giving aid to any who required it. He was the only X-Man still in touch with Cyclops.

Universe X

As part of his good deeds, Warren frequently brought supplies to his old Defenders teammates Kyle Richmond and Isaac Christians. When he learned that they were using Kyle's eyes to record the future, he warned them of viewing the future, citing the mistakes he believed the X-Men had made due to such knowledge.

Angel's role as a guardian of those in need became even more acute following the death of the Celestial embryo in Earth's core and the destabilization of the planet, New York's climate shifted into a perpetual arctic state. Warren aided the NYPD along with his fellow former X-Man, Iceman in defending the Human Torch in New York City from the likes of the Church of Immortus and the Tong of Creel. He was also present when the Absorbing Man attempted to douse the Torch, literally absorbing the island of Manhattan to do so, an attempt which ultimately failed.

Angel was present at the wedding of King Britain and Medusa, and also joined a number of New York's heroes in stopping a battle between the Guardians of the Galaxy and invaders of the Negative Zone. He accompanied all gathered into the Negative Zone, where Reed Richards investigated the expansion of Mar-Vell's Paradise into the Zone.
