Born into an extremely wealthy family, young Warren attended a prestigious East Coast boarding school where he roomed with Cameron Hodge. Warren’s life changed forever the day he began sprouting wings from his shoulder blades, but he hid them under his clothes. Later, when fire struck his dormitory, Warren discovered while escaping that his wings enabled him to fly. Donning a blond wig and long nightshirt to disguise himself as an anonymous “angel,” Warren saved the other students. Warren soon became the costumed crime-fighting Avenging Angel and attracted the attention of Professor Xavier who recruited him as a founding member of the heroic, mutant X-Men team.
After his father was killed by agents of the criminal Dazzler, Warren investigated and was shocked to learn that the Dazzler was his uncle Burt, who had been using his brother’s company as a cover for his crimes. In the ensuing battle, Warren as Angel dropped the Dazzler from a great height and presumed him dead; but Burt survived, and plotted to marry Warren’s mother Kathryn in an effort to secure the family fortune. Furthermore, Burt had arranged for Kathryn to be secretly, gradually poisoned. Angel and the X-Men foiled Burt’s plan, though too late to save Kathryn.
When the sentient island Krakoa captured the X-Men, Professor X assembled a new squad of X-Men to rescue them. After this, most of the original students – including Angel – left the team. Warren inherited his family fortune and used a portion of it to fund a Los Angeles-based super-team, the Champions. Warren revealed to the general public that he was the Angel, though his connection to Xavier’s school remained secret. The Champions later disbanded, and Angel went on to fight with the X-Men for a time and later joined the Defenders before reuniting with the X-Men again in recent years.
