The Cheyarafim are a fictional group of mutants in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional biography

According to Azazel, the Cheyarafim are a group of angel-like mutants who were the traditional enemies of the Neyaphem, a demonic-looking group of mutants who lived in Biblical times. The Cheyarafim were fanatics who had a strict, black-and-white view of morality which led them into conflict with the Neyaphem. This escalated into a holy war, causing the Neyaphem to be exiled into an alternate dimension. What happened to the Cheyarafim after this has not been revealed.

It has been implied, but not confirmed in canon, that some existing mutant characters may be descended from Cheyarafim; For instance, Archangel and Icarus both have fully feathered wings on their backs and a healing factor, of which Archangel's is discovered to cause a burning sensation while healing the Neyaphem-born Nightcrawler.

Notes

*The name Cheyarafim is most likely derived from Cherubim or Seraphim, orders of angels in Judeo-Christian mythology.
