ANGEL
his loyalty to his friends returned, and rather than killing them, as the villain intended, he turned on Apocalypse instead. But his troubles were only just beginning.
Strength level: Apart from his wings, Angel possesses the normal strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. His wings have superhuman strength and can create enough lift to enable him to carry aloft at least 500 pounds in addition to his own weight. Known superhuman powers: Angel is a mutant who can fly by means of his natural. Fully feathered like a bird's, the wings have a very flexible skeletal structure, enabling him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing. Angel's entire anatomy is naturally adapted to flying. His bones are hollow like a bird's, making him weigh far less than usual for a man of his build. His body is virtually devoid of fat and possesses greater proportionate muscle mass than an ordinary human does. His eyes are specially adapted to withstand high-speed winds which would hurt the average human eye. He possesses a special membrane in his respiratory system enabling him to extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes. Angel flies by flapping his wings, as a bird does. Though he generally flies below the height of clouds (6,500 feet), Angel can reach a height of 10,000 feet with little effort. With severe strain he can reach the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight (African geese at 29,000 feet above sea level), but he can only remain that high for several minutes. He can fly nonstop under his own power for a maximum of approximately twelve hours. Contrary to some reports, he could not make a transatlantic flight solely under his own power. However, since his genetic alteration by Apocalypse, Angel may be able to fly for longer periods non-stop than he could previously.
Stamina: (lungs, throat, vocal cords) Superhuman, (rest
of body) Athlete Known superhuman powers: Sean
Cassidy is a mutant who has the same powers as his
daughter Siryn, but who cannot use them in as many
ways as she can. His powers function in the same way
that hers do: he creates powerful sonic waves with his
voice with which he can achieve various effects, often
with the assistance of limited psionic abilities which
function only in unison with his sonic power. The
Banshee can use his sonic powers to propel himself
through the air in flight, to shatter solid objects, to place
human beings temporarily into a hypnotic trance, or to
cause human beings to fall temporarily unconscious.
Special limitations: Vocal cords susceptible to injury
from excessive strain in using sonic powers
