With a host of rumors swirling around people joining the X-Men, is there finally some news as to who will join Apocalypse in his destruction? One former creator says that a specific character would be perfect for the universe.

Meet The Characters That Are The Future Of The 'X-Men' Franchise

ComicBook.com uncovered a quote from X-Men artist Walt Simonson about the character Archangel and why he looks different than the other X-Men.

"A couple of quick thoughts about this, always provided that you keep in mind that this was a LONG time ago," Simonson responded.

"One is that I provided a color guide for Death/Archangel when I designed his outfit. I don't remember if I provided color guides for the rest of them or not. But since Warren was Death and really, the significant character in the storyline, I did want him to stand out. And 'Death', for me, is also the most dangerous of the four, and I may have wanted to emphasize that a bit by having him stand a little apart from the others."

Archangel is a character that has been rumored to be included in the Horseman line-up for the next movie and as Simonson states, he is the most dangerous of the four.

The character was last seen in X-Men: The Last Stand and was played by Ben Foster, but with Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg already teasing a return of some familiar faces, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilites to see Archangel back as a villain with possibly even Foster returning to the part.

X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open in theaters on May 27, 2016.
