I haven't played Mutants and Masterminds in quite a while! Have a character laying around somewhere that I rolled up for a game that never took off... I wouldn't hate putting on those wings and giving them a test flight.
I'll see if I can't dig up him up.
Edit: Found him... Looks as if he was rolled up for PL8, though. I could roll him back to a lower level, though. Original concept write-up below. Location names are for the setting in which he was originally going to be played but those, too, are easily enough retconned.
Background Information:
The creature calling himself Samael (likely more commonly known to the general populace as "the Archangel of New Camelot") seems to be as much a mystery to himself as he is to those who may have ever encountered him. The earliest memories he can recall date back no more than five years and primarily involve being a sideshow attraction in a travelling show called "Anatashia's Carnival and Mystical Menagerie." His first memories, in fact, are of awaking in the cage that was to be his home for the next several years and his brutal introduction to the Carnival's owner, Stephen Anatashia, who gave him the name Samael and informed him that he was property of the carnival. Many of Samael's other memories involve little more than being forced to perform for (or just being gawked at by) the carnival's paying customers, being shackled and caged when he wasn't performing (as well as being beaten by his brutish handlers when he tried to refuse doing one or the other)... perhaps the worst of his memories, though, are those of the "torture" inflicted upon him by Anatashia himself. Whenever the man appeared (whether it was to praise or taunt him) Samael always felt an overwhelming sense of weakness, dread, and despair as if Anatashia's presence alone as somehow draining the life energy (and perhaps his sanity) from him.
Samael isn't sure exactly how long suffered under Anatashia's domination... it may have been months, years, or even centuries as far as he could tell... but, not long ago, when the train transporting the carnival and its menagerie through a rainsoaked night derailed not far from the city of New Camelot. The crash killed a few, injured many, and, through some twisting of the fates, loosed Samael from his cage. His handlers tried to return him to his cage, of course, but, freed from any sort of restraints for the first time in literally as long as he could remember, Samael was able to overpower them and, in the chaos that ensued, disappeared into the storm-shrouded night. The next morning found him on the outskirts of New Camelot, still being pursued by Anatashia's minions (now heavily armed). Samael found his way into a museum via a rooftop entrance where he hoped to hide from his pursers. It was in this museum that Samael acquired the bits of armor that he now wears and the spear he carries with him - his attempts to hide from Anatashia's men had proved fruitless and, as the thugs stormed the museum, Samael stripped the armor and weaponry from one of the museums displays and made effective use of both in the battle that followed. In the end, the museum was in shambles, Anatashia's men were dead or very near it, and Samael himself had flown off deeper into the city to recuperate. Since this time, reports of a "birdman" or an "angel with black wings" have been few but not entirely uncommon in New Camelot... Sometime these accounts are simply vague or distant sightings but there have been others, alternately describing the thing as a winged thief or angelic saviour. Samael considers himself to be neither of these things and would rather simply be accepted as "a normal man" (or, at the very least, not be treated as some outcast freak) but is unsure, given his appearance and abilities, how he will ever make this happen. He has heard tales of another world, called Arcadia, that is somehow connected to the one in which he now exists and, often times, finds himself wondering if that isn't the world from which he originated and, if it is, how to get back... and, if Arcadia isn't his home, what place is?
Description:
Samael is a tall and slender but sleekly-muscled creature with raven-black hair that falls in waves to his shoulders, piercing blue-eyes that seem to look through (or perhaps into) rather than directly at whatever his gaze might fall upon, and, most distinctively, a pair of large, blue-black feathered wings that issue from his back - (estimates from "witnesses" variably put his wingspan between 16 and 25 feet). He is often seen adorned in a piecemeal (breastplate, greaves, and gauntlets) and somewhat tarnished suit of silvery plate-mail and carrying a large, broad-bladed spear.
