Marvel Comics/Uriel (Angel)

**Uriel** is an angel.

## Powers and Abilities

**Angel Physiology:** Angels are celestial beings who live in Heaven. They are figures in several of Earth's monotheistic religions, including Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Depending on their ranking in the hierarchy of Heaven, angels have varying levels of superhuman capabilities.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Most angels have varying degrees of superhuman strength. Some are able to use their magical abilities to augment their strength but to an unknown degree.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Angels are capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** The various mystical energies flowing through an angel's body augments their musculature so that it generates virtually no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, angels possess almost limitless physical stamina.
* **Superhuman Durability:** The tissues of an angel's body, while similar in appearance to those of a human, are considerably tougher and more resistant to injury than the tissues of a human being to the extent where their bodies are virtually invulnerable to conventional injury. Angels can withstand great impact forces, high caliber bullets, exposure to pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
	+ **Thermal Resistance:** Angels are capable of withstanding exposure to temperature extremes.
* **Accelerated Regeneration:** Despite their superhuman durability, it is possible to injure angels. However, their unique physiology and mystical energies enable them to rapidly recover from almost any form of injury. They are capable of regenerating almost any damaged or destroyed tissue, including missing limbs.
* **Immortality:** Angels are immortal beings and do not age. If killed, angels will reform in Heaven.
	+ **Disease Immunity:** They are immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
	+ **Self-Sustenance:** Angels are also beyond the need for food, water, and oxygen.
* **Magic:** Angels can use their magical energies for various effects, only a few of which have been shown.
	+ **Astral Manipulation:** Angels also possess certain powers that enable them to capture and detain the astral bodies of recently deceased human beings.
	+ **Invisibility:** Angels can make themselves (or possibly only their wings) invisible to humans, although rare sensitives (approximately 4-5 million on Earth) may still see them.
	+ **Energy Blasts:** Angels can project energy bolts.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** Although the appearance of angels are widely varied, many seem to be able to alter their appearance at will. Most favor beautiful humanoid forms with large, bird-like wings protruding from their shoulder blades.
	+ **Physical Augmentation:** Uriel can use his magical abilities to augment his strength to an unknown degree.
	+ **Summoning:** Uriel is also able to summon celestial armor and weaponry at will.
* **Wing Protrusion:** Angels possess large, bird-like wings that protrude from their backs.
	+ **Flight:** An angels' wings allow them to fly at incredible speeds and defy the laws of gravity. It has been shown that angels can fly without the use of their wings, showing that their wings may just be symbolic.
