Powers: Tempest wears specialized gauntlets that allow her to generate extreme wind, cold, and heat energy.  Formerly, she had fly-like features such as veined wings which she could use to fly.  She also had physiology similar to a fly such as digesting food like flies and laying eggs instead of live birth as a part of her reproductive cycle.


History:  When Angel Salvadore was fourteen years old she began developing physical manifestations of her mutation.  At first her skin appeared to be developing a strange rash on her back.  When her step-father suspected that she was a mutant he beat her and threw her out of the house.  Angel fell asleep that night praying that she wasn't a mutant.  Over the night a cocoon formed around her and when she woke up in the morning she had developed veined wings, much like a fly.  She was also surrounded by U-Men, humans who butchered mutants for their mutated body parts, who wanted to cut off her wings.  After she was grabbed by one of the U-Men, Angel spit acid at his arm and was able to fly away.  She crashed a short distance away after she accidentally flew into some power lines, where the U-Men captured her.  Luckily, Jean Grey was tracking her with Cerebro and telepathically guided Wolverine to Angel's aid.  Wolverine was able to dispose of the U-Men quickly and succeeded in rescuing Angel, though she did not trust him immediately and threw up acid on his hand.  Wolverine convinced Angel to come with him.  Stopping at a diner to eat, Angel and Wolverine were noticed by the owner who recognized them as mutants due to Angel having to throw up acid on her food in order to digest it.  He pulled a shotgun on them and asked them to leave.  Angel's hot temper caused the owner to fire his weapon and Angel flew out through the window.  Once again she crashed nearby, where Wolverine calmed her down.  Angel arrived at the institute with Wolverine just after Jean Grey had defended the school against the U-Men.

Shortly after her arrival, Angel was helping the Stepford Cuckoos steal Cassandra Nova's DNA from Beast's lab when she discovered Beak being held naked in a tank.  Angel decided to release Beak from the tank.  The two helped the Cuckoos and the X-Men during Cassandra Nova's attack on the institute. 

During a flight class, Angel and Beak were left behind by the other flying students.  Angel stayed behind with Beak, who was attempting to fly but was unable.  In order to lift his spirits, Angel kissed Beak and carried him to their destination.  It was revealed there that Angel only kissed Beak as part of a bet.

Angel later became a part of Xorn's special class at the institute.  During one class, Xorn took the students camping in the forest surrounding the mansion.  Angel and Beak snuck off into the woods after dark and were discovered by U-Men.  After running back to the camp, Xorn lead the students to safety and went off to fight the U-Men alone.  Angel later went to get help and witnessed Xorn killing the U-Men.  He convinced her to keep it their secret.  

Later, Angel and Beak were honored during a prize giving ceremony.  Neither were present, believing that they would never be awarded.  Instead, Angel and Beak wandered on the grounds where Angel revealed that she was pregnant.  She soon laid eggs in Wolverine's shed, which Angel and Beak tried to keep secret.  Angel's secret led to her being a suspect in the shooting of Emma Frost.  Though she was the one who shot Emma, she was under the telepathic control of Esme, one of the Stepford Cuckoos.  The X-Men discovered Angel's eggs and were supportive, allowing Beak and Angel to live in the shack together to raise their children.  When their children hatched from the eggs, they resembled both Beak and Angel with beaks and fly wings.

A short time later, Magneto, revealed to have been Xorn all along, recruited the members of his special class into the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.  Angel later rebelled after Magneto threatened her classmate Martha.  Magneto was later defeated by the X-Men.

Later, Beak became unhinged from time and joined the Exiles.  Angel, distraught over Beak's disappearance, assumed that Beak had run away.  They were later reunited after they both had been depowered due to Scarlet Witch and the events of House of M.  All but one of their children, Tito, had also been depowered and now resembled normal children.

No longer mutants, Beak and Angel left the X-Mansion.  They were later recruited by Night Thrasher II and joined the New Warriors.  Angel took the code name Tempest and received new powers through technological means.  She now wears gauntlets that give her heat, wind, and ice powers.
