Interesting Fact:

Although Archangel's blood can be used to heal, it had the exact opposite effect on teammate Nightcrawler. Instead of healing him, it actually hurt him. Some think that since perhaps Nightcrawler's origin is linked to a demon, Archangel is linked to an angelic background.
Origin:

Warren Worthington III was born to an affluent family in New York. During his stay at private school, his wings sprouted. Warren hated them at first, but soon learned he could fly with them. After saving fellow dormmates from a fire, he went to New York City and started a life of crimefighting. This is where Professor X recruited Warren to become part of the X-Men. During this time, he was known as Angel.
During the storyline, “Mutant Massacre,” Warren had his wings severely damaged and later amputated. He regained new metallic wings and blue skin by the help of the mutant Apocalypse. Angel took the name of Death as one of Apocalypse’s four horsemen and fought against the X-Men, but later left Apocalypse to rejoin The X-Men. It was then that he took the name of Archangel.
Warren’s wings eventually reverted back to normal, when the feathers grew inside the metallic ones and eventually burst out, leaving Archangel with his original feathered wings. He continues to fight alongside The X-Men as Archangel.
