<font color=deepskyblue>Not that I know of. Angel had already lost his wings. He was betrayed by some character he considered a friend, but who really hated mutants -
especially Angel (big time jealousy over Warren Worthington's independent wealth AND mutant ability). This character (whose name escapes me) kidnapped Angel and amputated his wings. Apocalypse came along and gave him new, metallic wings that allowed him to fly much faster than before. He could also sling metal blades from the end of his wings (sortofa "wing buffet / flachette" combo attack).
The catch was that the wings are semi-intelligent and have a will of their own. They are always urging ArchAngel (as he is now known) to use them to harm or kill people. All in all, it was an excellent "upgrade" of an otherwise Class B mutant.</font>
