X-Men: Everything You Need To Know Before Marvel's Big Relaunch

4. Angel Is Archangel Again

X-Men 2019
Marvel Comics

During the Disassembled arc of Uncanny, X-Man, much like Apocalypse, recruited four horsemen, one of them being Angel. Angel was brainwashed and had his form slightly altered so that he bore the same glowing markings as his fellow horsemen, a far less drastic alteration than what Apocalypse had done to him.

Yet, when Psylocke thrust her psychic sword into his head so that he could overcome the brainwashing, Angel was somehow returned to the Archangel that Apocalypse had previously made him into - and he wasn't massively happy with it.

This may then be why the character has made so few appearances in any of the promo material for any of the books in Hickman's era of X-Men. Where could it have gone? The hero could've gone into hiding or plotting something against his former teammates.
