Now, Angel is the gift that keeps on giving. Like a lot of the X-Men, he's had so many different costume changes over the years that you can pick a Warren Worthington at random and stand a good chance of being the only guy there in that costume... and then there are the wings. Get them right, and it's cosplay nirvana - suddenly it won't matter that you more closely resemble Mole Man. This guy doesn't have that problem. But that's not all - decades after his creation, Angel was co-opted by Apocalypse, given completely badass metal wings that screamed as he flew, and turned into the leader of his Horsemen, Death. He'd later unloose himself from Apocalypse to rename himself Archangel. Of course, there's no winged scourge of the skies so baleful and terrifying that kiddie cosplay can't make him adorable. This is why Mojo's X-Babies were so damn cute. Finally, if you're a little sceptical about the lengths people will go to to make a costume look perfect... this guy made his own mechanical Archangel wings. Wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=33&v=V3T4XKIiH1c
