Warren Worthington: (Arch)Angel Appreciation 2021

[Thievery]

Well here it is, (Arch)Angel's new appreciation thread for the new year. Haven't seen one already so here is this one.

Same deal as last year. I hope you all have a miserable new year . Unless you are able to post and scan pictures. Ten you will be appreciated in this appreciation thread.
I would wait for someone who can post pictures to star this thread, but then that usually ends up taking weeks for some one else to start an Archangel thread.

So anyway, lets have fun discussing Archangel, and hope that Warren has a bigger role in the X-Comics than he did last year.

Hopefully Warren can shine in the upcoming X-Corp book soon !
That said, we'll see him again soon (well, as an alternate version) in Excalibur #17 as Queen Elizabeth III's lover

Maybe it'll make her nostalgic for the real thing, but does it seem that if that's the real her then she's not really "dead"...and could come back...again...

As for Warren he'll probably get overlooked so that Marvel can focus on others sadly...

Happy New Year to Warren and his fans .

[SJNeal]

I've been re-paging (is that a word?) my old Marvel Masterpieces recently, and over the years I don't think there was a Warren card that I didn't love...

Dang it, I accidentally keep forgetting to respond to your quote in my other posts in this thread. Sorry LoganAlpha30X33.

It could all be a swerve, but I think that it's fairly obvious that Betsy Braddock is alive and well, in an alternate reality, and that she will return at the end of the current Excalibur story arch.

Warren won't be completely overlooked this year. He does appear on that Rein of X teaser image. Now how big of a role that he will have is what's up in the air a little bit. Archangel could have a recurring role in the upcoming X-Corp comic or something else. Or it could just be a small role somewhere. Those promotional images can be a little misleading. But, I think that Archangel's appearance on that teaser image is a pretty good sign that Warren won't be completely overlooked.

The question then becomes of whether or not it'll be one of those things where it's better to not be used than how they were used in the end...

Hello everyone, new to this thread. I’m a archangel/Warren fan. I usually post on the Lorna Dane site. These two characters are my favorites.

Here’s a question, would anyone on here support a Warren/Lorna relationship? I brought this topic up on the Polaris thread. I thought that both of them haven’t explored a relationship that didn’t involve just being colleagues. So what do you think?

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Obviously I wouldn't want them together and don't think that they'd work, partially as I'm an ardent Warren/Betsy and Alex/Lorna fan and have been for many years...

A good writer can make anything work but Warren/Lorna wouldn't be my first choice tbh...pre-metal wing days I always thought he and the Wasp would make an interesting couple but too late for that now. It's a shame Charlotte Jones didn't stick around, I liked her.

Thanks for your answer. I think that I may have read this one. That or I have it confused with another story about the teen 05.
Is this story considered to be part of canon and part of continuity?

Hello Angleman70. Welcome to the Archangel appreciation thread. It's always nice to have new members post in this thread. A lot of the members who used to post in this thread haven't done so in a while.

Archangel is my favorite character. The metal winged version of Archangel. I'm not all that fond of plain feather winged Angel. Polaris is almost always my second favorite, unless I feel that she is getting some bad writing.

The idea of Archangel and Polaris becoming a couple was discussed pretty frequently in the old, previous Archangel Appreciation threads. The conversation about the two of them becoming a couple died down when the discussion of Archangel moved on to other topics.

Personally, I think that Warren and Lorna would make for a good couple. You could get some interesting stories out of them, I think.

Obviously I wouldn't want them together and don't think that they'd work, partially as I'm an ardent Warren/Betsy and Alex/Lorna fan and have been for many years...

I wasn't sure if I should answer this one or not. Just because you are a diehard Betsy/Warren and Alex/Lorna shipper doesn't mean that Warren and Lorna couldn't work well togather.

I liked the old Warren /Charlotte pairing. I thought that Charlotte played a good role in Warren dealing with his transformation into Archangel. However, I wouldn't want Charlotte back with Archangel. I would prefer to see him with someone new, Like Polaris or Moonstar.

I would rank Warren's relationships this way

1) Betsy Braddock. I think that this pairing has run it's course, but I still think that it was Archangel's best relationship so far.
2) Candy Southern. This one was also great. I am sorry that Candy was killed off.
3) Charlotte. See above.
4) Laura Kinney. Not to fond of this one, but it is better than Husk in my opinion.
5) Husk. I thought that this one had potential when it first started, but then it went off of the rails. Warren and Husk having sex in front of Husk's mom and their teammates was particularly bad, in my opinion.
Just my opinions.

The best explanation I can give you is that it's a retelling of the origin of the O5, at least according to Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men:..._Atom_(comics)

You could try and say the same about Scott and Jean and such but I doubt that any of the big relationships will every truly run their course and be truly over, just like I don't expect Peter and MJ to every truly be over and always possible of happening again...and more likely than the others...

[Angleman70]

I always felt bad for Warren. He never gets the attention that other X-men. I like the blue skin on him. It makes him stand out a bit more. As for his hellfire gala outfit. It isn’t that it’s bad, it’s more like there wasn’t much care to make his look better.
