Well angels are Jehovah's servents just like we our on the earth, no one really knows what they look like because they are spirit creatures and they have no form we do think they have wings and they look like men and yes they do have spiritual powers that help humans

angels are spiritual beings. they are messengers of God. At times they can take bodily form, for they, too are creations of God. They have the same bodily form as you and I but are perfect creations. They are neither male nor female. God gave them powers to help humans. These are called our guardian angels. Each one of us has one, or two, or even three or more.

They are spiritual entities which have never inhabited flesh. They can look like virtually anything and can change form very quickly. Yes they do have power to help or hinder human beings.

Angels come with religion, they are projection of one's desires to feel secure by believing in something unkown!

Though angels are generally invisible beings, they may appear to the outward eye if required, in forms suitable for the visible world.
Angels are different from human beings in that they do not have a will of their own. They were created for the specific purpose of serving God and carrying out His commands. Some angels are in a state of constant worship of God, prostrating to Him and never raising their heads.
The Qur’an speaks of the charge of the angel of death in these verses:
[The angel of death, who has been charged with you, will gather you; then to your Lord you will be returned.] (As-Sajdah 32:11)
The Qur’an also mentions angels in connection with Heaven and Hell:
[Gardens of Eden which they shall enter ... and the angels shall enter unto them from every gate.] (Ar-Ra`d 13:23)
Also angels record the deeds of humans as long as they are on earth:
[There are over you watchers, noble writers, who know whatever you do.] (Al-Infitar 82:10-12)
[Over every soul there is a watcher.] (At-Tariq 86:4)
The Qur’an also speaks of angels as playing a crucial role in processes like creation, prophecy, spiritual life, death, resurrection, and the workings of natural elements. For instance, there is an angel who brings the thunder, and he, too, serves God and obeys His command. Other angels are in charge of embryos in wombs, or responsible for protecting human beings.

They are all men, some scruffy, some tidy but all wear a cut off with their patch on their back. they have the powers and connections to help anyone they love but cross them at your peril.
