The seemingly celestial superhero known as Angel transformed into a faceless soldier, wearing Doom’s colors and maskshowing that even the purest can fall and become demons.
Founding X-Men hero Angel now fights for Doctor Doom
Angel transforms into Doom’s mutant soldier
Introduced in THE X-Men #1 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the mutant known as Angel was part of the original X-Men roster. Warren Worthington III is a shining light within the X-Menrepresenting the mutant’s ability to overcome any challenge. If Doom has caught up with one of the core members of the X-Men, then it really is becoming a world under Doom.
Doom knows Warren has a soft spot for the dark side.
This cover isn’t the first time Angel has swapped his body for a hunk of metal. The mutant tyrant Apocalypse once gave him metallic wings and named him the Angel of Deathgranting Warren terrible powers. After this, Angel’s entire personality changed into something darker, and he renamed himself Archangel. Although he has finally returned to the light and his original name, Angel, it seems that Doom knows that Warren has a penchant for the darker side – and a metallic sheen to his costume.
Our Take on Doom Recruiting a Member of the X-Men as His Angel of Destruction
The Avengers and X-Men will soon fight Doctor Doom – again
Doctor Doom is officially recruiting heroes to join his army of sorcerers. Spider-Man has already accepted Doom’s blessing and became the Latverian dictator’s apprentice. Looks like Angel is next. Following his Archangel model, Angel is delving into the dark side by becoming a masked soldier who looks more like a Doombot than an X-Man. Slowly, Doom is imposing his image on the face of the world, and this member of the X-Men is the face of that change.
Big X-Men plans are in the works, but there will be other comics under the A world under destruction umbrella besides X Factor #7, as Fantastic Four #19 and Storm #5. The heroes are quickly choosing sides, and so the Fantastic Four and Storm may have to face their once-friend Angel in a battle for the soul of the world. In any case, next year a “new” member of the X-Men debut, and his purpose is clear: he is the Angel of Doctor Doom.
X Factor #7 is available February 19, 2025 from Marvel Comics!
