Is Archangel good?
Archangel builds toward Neurotoxin procs by extending his Bleed duration with Deep Wounds, which widens the window to trigger Poison stacks. Combining Stupefy with the short stun that Neurotoxin causes gives him a bigger opening to dash in and punish the enemy, and stacking Precision increases his crit chance, which is his only way to trigger Bleeds without spending power or needing a heavy attack window.
He has good matchups against 
Agent Venom, 
Spider-Man (Classic), and 
The Hood, but struggles against 
Vision, 
Cable, and Yellowjacket.
Strengths
- Extends Bleed duration to set up Neurotoxin procs
- Crits trigger Bleeds without costing power
- Favorable matchups against Agent Venom, Spider-Man (Classic), and The Hood

Neurotoxin
PassiveEach time Archangel triggers a Bleed effect on an opponent with an active Poison effect that he caused, they are combined, converting into a Neurotoxin charge, lasting 15 seconds. Neurotoxins are a Passive effect, and therefore do not count as either a Debuff, or a Poison. Neurotoxins do 11781 damage over their duration. On expiry, Neurotoxins have a 100% Chance to Stun their target for 1.5 seconds. This effect will not interrupt a Special Attack.

Only the first Bleed effect triggered by this attack will consume a Poison effect, though all Bleeds triggered by it will convert to Neurotoxins as long as a Poison was consumed during the attack.
