Archangel…the mod? No way!
Lately I’ve been mentally bombarded with the idea to do an Archangel mod. While that may sound fun (or awful depending on where you stand with the character), I find it very difficult coming up with a plausible mod story to build around this character. I suppose part of the reason is that he has like three personalities he’s developed over the years and no real enemies to build off. The other reason might be because Angel, by his lonesome, is just not an engaging or viable lead without a great cast around him. I mean, he’s no Wolverine is he? So, I’m interested in hearing what some of you might do or want in a mod involving Archangel. Keep in mind that there’s not a huge chance anything could be realized, but seeing the idea could spark SOMEONE to make an all new mod. We all want new mods right? Thought so.

How about building off the idea from X-force where he can transform between the two selves angel/archangel?
it could present unique power sets… make it an involuntary change too and thats even cooler (perhaps give angel the berserker or timid attribute, with an involuntary change based on fear or rage.
might be tricky for the player to take enough damage to trigger a change, but not enough to kill him off.
also you could have some good “race across the city” type levels.
As for a story line? well, you could revisit a hunt for apocalypse type scenario. you could add Decibel, Sunfire and Gambit as people he could fight in order to get to Apocalypse.
just some thoughts…

Thanks for the thoughts, Det. I’ll definitely consider them, but I think I’m narrowing down on the direction I want to go in the outline.
