 * Definition       = Many superpowered beings have wings sprouting from their body allowing them to Fly by gliding on the air currents. Biologically improbable due to Human bone and muscle structure. But in the Marvel Universe beings have been able to bypass these biological and the Square-cube law.

Mutants

 * The a mutant; Angel grew white feathered wings. He was adapted to flight possessing enhanced strength and unbreakable, ultra-light bones, to explain away the biological improbabilities. When transformed into Archangel, his previously amputated feathered wings were replaced by razor-sharp mechanical ones that shot poison-tipped feathers. His white-feathered wings returned eventually, having grown back underneath the metal ones.
 * Angel Salvadore of the New X-Men has fly-like wings sprouting from her back, though she was de-powered after M-Day. Her husband Beak, who resembles a sort of human-chicken hybrid, also has bird-like wings on his arms, but he also lost them after M-Day.
 * Pixie of the X-Men originally had butterfly-like wings. Later, they change into fly-like wings.


 * The Atlantean/Mutant hybrid Namor possesses vestigial "wings" on both of his ankles, by which he seems to fly at the speed of escape velocity when exerting himself fully. His flight speed at "normal" levels is enough to enable Namor to fly faster than military aircraft. Since the "wings" by themselves could never carry Namor, it has been speculated that he uses the wings for steering and flies in some other manner, perhaps by telekinesis. Namor's ability to lift weights when flying is sufficient to enable him carry a fifty ton anchor with one hand without a discernible loss of speed/momentum.

They are the long time enemies of the winged Pterons.
 * Cheyarafim, were a group of angel-like mutants who were the traditional enemies of the Neyaphem, a demonic-looking group of mutants who lived in Biblical times. The Cheyarafim were fanatics who had a strict, black-and-white view of morality which led them into conflict with the Neyaphem. This escalated into a holy war, causing the Neyaphem to either flee or be exiled into an alternate dimension.
