Angel was one of the original members of X-Men. He was later turned and manipulated (genetically and mentally) by Apocalypse into Death, the leader of Apocalypse’s four horsemen. After the events, he has since joined the X-Men/X-Force as Archangel. However the mental scars and struggles he had from his past remained. This artwork depicts Archangel with his hands outstretched, wings poised to unfurl, seeking to break free from Apocalypse’s mental and physical grasp. The base features hieroglyphics inspired elements referencing Apocalypse’s presence.
