Warren Kenneth Worthington III , originally known as Angel and later as Archangel , is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is a founding member of the X-Men . Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby , the character first appeared in The X-Men # 1 ( September 1963 ) . Angel is a member of a subspecies of humans known as mutants , who are born with superhuman abilities . The character originally possesses a pair of large feathered wings extending from his back , enabling him to fly . He is the heir of the Worthington family fortune , and this privileged background results in Warren being stereotyped as self-absorbed and unable to deal with hardships 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 changed into the darker Archangel persona . While Angel 's wings were originally feathered , his transition to Archangel resulted in metallic wings and newfound powers . As one of the original X-Men , Archangel has had a frequent presence in X-Men-related comic books throughout the years and also 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 portrayed a younger version in the 2016 film X-Men : Apocalypse .
