Avengelyne is an angel, fallen from grace, formerly one of the best of heaven's most feared warriors, the warhost. She is a cunning fighter and a fearsome adversary. She made her name well-known among the angels and demons by penetrating Pandemonium, the outer fortress of the gates of Hell, alone, making it all the way to the lair of the Dragon. Her world came tumbling down when Micah, one of her fellow members of the warhost, convinced her to question God about his love for mankind. As a punishment for the question, Avengelyne found herself banished to earth to live as a human being. (it was revealed in Armageddon that she had been tricked by Micah to do so, and it was in God’s plan that this come about so that Avengelyne would be strengthened in the fight against Satan’s army). Once she arrived on earth, she suddenly realized that the punishment was to not have the closeness that she had shared with the Lord before her fall. Posessing only her supernatural strength now (she had lost her other angelic abilities), she found other angels like herself - angels who had fallen from God’s grace - living in Manhattan. However, these angels had joined with the dark one, and roamed the Earth as powerful demons, plaguing humanity with their evil schemes. Her body is still made of the White Fire, the energy source used by God to create the angels, but the only real benefit remaining from her angelic heritage is her enhanced strength. However, during one of her "lost years," she seems to have at least been given a sword that she can call into existence when she is ready. Now mortal, she found herself vulnerable to other fallen angels who have accepted the Dragon's promise of power and immortality. Seeing that the demons needed to be routed out, she made it her quest to destroy any demons whose paths she crosses. Avengelyne-Passover Avengelyne, standing her ground despite the apparent abandonment of God from her, did not side with Satan, but instead decided to fight them here on Earth, which she has been doing since her fall.

Avengelyne, like so many other comic characters I enjoy, has an aspect of heavenly and spiritual dimensions that appeals to that faith side of me. Are these stories biblically based? Loosely I’d say - some more than others. Are they stories? Certainly, and so I feel comfortable enjoying the stories just as that: stories. While they get their basic ideas from the bible, they expand them to incorporate fantasy into their stories. I like this comic due to the fact that it’s a work in progress. That the end has been revealed, but we see the struggling in the here and now, and the apparent chaotic plan God has in place, due to the limited vision. The questioning of Why touches a nerve in me, since I’ve often asked why in regards to something that bothers me or repulses me on the news or in the paper. It’s the reminder that God has everything under His control that is true comfort. Not that kind that is fleeting, but the kind is deep and permanent.
