POWERS AND ABILITIES

_

Angel's body is surrounded by an anti-gravity field that enables her to fly. She can also extend the field to people and objects that she touches, giving her the appearance of superhuman strength. But let's let Angel herself explain the nature of her powers more clearly...

_

Aside from her flight powers, Angel is also slightly stronger and faster than the average person. She possesses photographic reflexes that allow her to learn new skills upon observation. She has been trained in several martial arts such as kung fu, karate, ninjitsu, jujitsu, muay thai, capeoria, and others.

She's a sweet girl. But you wouldn't want to piss her off.

FLIGHT RECORD

The original 2-issue Angel Ace series came out around 1997, followed a couple of years later by the prequel Angel Ace: Lone Wolf and Cherub, detailing the origin of Angel and Gregor. The 4-issue Angel Ace: Again was released in 2001. Angel Ace: Next and a Kai spin-off, K.I.A. (Kai: Indomitable Assassin) were released in 2005.

I'm not sure if these books are still in print, but they should be. The series was a charming blend of fantasy, adventure, humor and romance that deserves to be shared with a wider audience.
