* Considering the SpaceMarines of ''{{Warhammer40000}}'' are often considered to be the GodEmperor's [[{{Badass}} Angels of Death]], it would logically dictate that his 20 PhysicalGod sons that were the genetic templates for the SpaceMarine Legions would be his [[CelestialParagonsAndArchangels Archangels]] (And It's especially evident with Sanguinius, Primarch of the BloodAngels, who happens to be a WingedHumanoid).

* The Angels are the Imperators of Heaven in Nobilis- though in a case of [[LightIsNotGood Light Is Not (Exactly) Good]], they are ''just'' above all else. The schism that resulted in FallenAngels existing was that some of the angels loved everyone, even the corrupt... and for this, they were cast into Hell.

* In the ''YoungWizards'' series there's the Winged Defedner, a.k.a. the [[{{God}} One's]] Champion ([[AllMythsAreTrue a.k.a. Thor, a.k.a. Athena, a.k.a. the archangel Micheal]]). He only rarely intervenes directly, since fully manifesting strains the fabric of reality almost to the breaking point, but when ''does'' he has no problem kicking the ass of the [[{{Satan}} Lone Power]]. In addition to occasionally kicking the ass of the BigBad, his responsibilities include granting the titular wizards their power ([[AllMythsAreTrue which was the inspiration for the legend of Prometheus]]), and also keeping the TrueName of {{God}} in two separate pieces, since the sheer power radiated by God's whole name would [[ApocalypseHow destroy entire universes]].
