Thanks for reading. Yes - we tend to agree. But it seems that the term "super angel" has entered the vernacular to some extent although even its definition remains a bit nebulous. Mark Suster had a post where he mentioned if you have a fund, you're a VC, and if you invest your own money, you're an angel. That's a nice clean demarcation between the two in our opinion as well. Maybe we'll coalesce on a nice clean definition in the near future. That said, if you are an angel investor, super angel is much better branding :)

I think that at the very least, a super angel needs a halo, tights and a cape.

  Well if we're going to start coming up with different grades of angel, we can at least use the thousands of years' worth of existing terms. The level above "Angel" is "Archangel". Then it's Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Dominations, Thrones, Cherubim and finally Seraphim (the exact order can vary, but I'm going with Dante). That should provide enough fuel for angel-on-angel one-upmanship for now. (If not, we can move on to the Jewish angelology, which includes four additional ranks above Seraphim.)
