Page "Warren Worthington III" Paragraph 51

While he believes he has lost his metal wings when he re-grows his organic ones, the Celestial Technology never leaves his system, and his natural-appearing wings contain the Celestial technology.

When implanted into regular human beings, the technology induces a transformation similar to that of Warren's.

When his feathered wings are severed from his body by Wolfsbane, his metal wings grow back in their place.

Furthermore, his skin reverts back to blue and his old Archangel costume appears.

Warren's body returns to normal — the metal wings being replaced with the appearance of his feathered ones — indicating that Warren has the ability to switch between metal and feathered wings and his Angel and Archangel appearances.

During a battle with Selene's Coven, Blink teleports Warren's wings apart, shredding them to pieces.

However, within minutes, they begin to painfully re-grow, indicating his healing factor may still exist.

The wings have been shown capable to heal Apocalypse ..

However, as it is shown in issue 14 of X-Men: Second Coming, Dr.

Nemesis questions the rate that they would grow as the biology is different than Colossus ' armor.
