Who is ANGEL SALVADORE?
ANGEL SALVADORE, who is often simply called Angel is a fictional character in the X-Men universe created by Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver. She first appeared in New X-Men #118.
First Appearance



ANGEL SALVADORE mutation first manifested when she was fourteen. Driven out of her home by his abusive stepfather. One morning she found herself waking up in a cocoon developing a pair of insect wings.

She is then captured by a group of men who harvest mutant parts to use for their own purposes. Wolverine came to her rescue and brought her to Xavier's school.


At the institute at first, Angel does not fit in well, but She would later prove helpful fighting alongside the X-Men and their pupils against menaces like Cassandra Nova.

Also in the Xavier Institute he met and later fell in love with a strange-looking mutant, Barnell Bohusk who is also known as Beak.


Growing closer Angel and Beak were then assigned to the “Special Class,” which was taught by the mysterious Chinese mutant known as Xorn. There, both Angel and Beak found a common acceptance and friends.


After a couple of Amorous tryst, Angel revealed to Beak that she is pregnant.


Because of her mutation, Angel's pregnancy came to full term in only 5 days. She then laid a large clutch of insect-like eggs. When they hatched the children look mostly human but with some of Angel's fly characteristics (such as insect-like wings) or Beak's chicken morphology.


Angel's instructor Xorn claims that he actually is Magneto he then use his influence over the Special Class to convince them to join his new Brotherhood.


Angel and Beak would then change back to the side of the X-Men. When Xorn is finally defeated they return to the institute, ANGEL SALVADORE and Beak would then be allowed to stay in a cabin near the Institute mansion, to live as a family.

During the event called "M-Day" where the powerful Scarlet Witch uttered the hex spell “No more mutants”, ANGEL SALVADORE, her family with Beak, and million more mutants find themselves depowered. Only one of their children remained a mutant.

As a mutant:
Formerly, she had a partially insectoid anatomy along the lines of the housefly that gave her corrosive spit and insectoid wings that allowed her to fly.

As Tempest:
She gained technologically based fire, ice, and flight powers from the new costume given to her.

Message to the CBM community:
To those who are making requests, check first [here] because I might have done an article on the character already. If I have not please be patient, I will get on it as soon as possible (but consider the fact that I spend hours writing one of these articles). Try to limit your request to characters that already have been adapted to live media, so that the feature will at least be relevant to the site – Comic Book Movie(though I include TV characters). Characters in Manga or Anime’, I am not particularly familiar of, I am not discounting these characters but it will probably take some time before I write a feature on them because I have to read up on these characters. Thank you for reading these articles! If there are errors on the feature article above, blame it on my age, humanity and ignorance. Just be sure to check the comment section for the corrections, any error I made will surely be pointed out and corrected by much bigger geeks (because there will always be a bigger geek out there). -This has been PollMaster inviting you to the geekside. MABUHAY CBM and Godspeed!

Hated her in the comics (characters like this is why we needed MDay), but she was ok in the movie

Thanks!! kinda interesting that in the movie, she stuck with the X-men first then goes to the Brotherhood.. i guess first class did stick to source material more then i thought..

Geekcreds

It's Ernst, one of the 'special' class taught by Xorn, who also joined Magneto's new Brotherhood (along with Angel)when he took over New York whilst under the influence of Kick. She is often seen towing an encapsuled brain of a student named Martha.

ShakeBake, you'd be surprised how many seemingly small things like that are featured in all the movies, even X3 and origins that people don't realize (mostly because many people don't know as much about comics as they claim to).

She was so boring in the Movie, Even Darwin with so much screen time did better than her. .____.

Yo Poll, can you do one on Optimus Prime? or you do just Marvel/Dc characters?




For the meantime its mostly DC and Marvel characters.

@myth, actually Ernst is Casandra Nova, she named herself after her favorite artist.

I don't like that she is in first class. Looks to me that instead of the real Angel they put someone who's name is Angel.

thats a pretty weird pairing up of comic characters even for mutants...reminds me of the movie The Fly

musicsuperhero1 - 6/11/2011, 5:12 PM
i didn't understand why her character was in the movie...i felt like she was in there just to boost ticket sales from all the non-comic book readers...the whole "WHO IS THAT?!" factor...i felt like Darwin, Angel, and some others were just wasted...BUT the movie as a whole was good.

In the comics as Angel, she's pretty disgusting. But as Tempest, not bad.

I really do enjoy these articles; but I would really like to see a little editing before posting. Lots of grammatical errors in these. Small ones before, but now its becoming very common.

@the myth, u are absolutely right, i was saying the same thing about mystique being naked always, she just makes her clothes. fox strays from a specific timeline, but the powers and situations are pretty damn close, i still don't like fox adaptations, but they do stay close to the source, the timelines are just jacked.

Hey Pollmaster, I'm having an argument with one of my friends about Angel. He thinks she is latino but I think she's black. Care to shed a little light?

Darwin, Banshee and Angel, worst thing about X-men FC. A good movie that could have been better without them.

I always thought angel was a useless character and pretty nasty looking....was there a point of her being in the movie?
Ghostt
Ghostt - 6/12/2011, 8:38 AM
man, what a weird character. she had 5-6 kids in one birth and they're half chicken half insect? It's like an awkward mutant reality tv show. Did it say Night thrasher was the stepdad and they lived in an apt. together.? meh

To all the comic geeks: Its ok that you want the movies to be as accurate as possible from the comic source, but think that you are just about a couple hundred in the world and this things have to make money. To me, all the characters were very cool. You just have to think of it as a reset in comics, and when that happens, the authors have complete artistic freedom to rebuilt the universe... So pleeease, understand that there won't be a single cbm completely accurate to it's source and if you don't like that, I compell you to stop suffering and quit attending to the cinemas to watch this horrible inaccurate comic book movies.

Loved Angel ! she was a good addition, loved the special effects for her powers.

And Zoe owned every small scene she was in. When she said
"We're different and that's nothing to be ashamed of" - It gave me the chills! soo well acted. (:

@gambit, yeah I was talking about the character. Also I agree, she was the most pointless person there
