How many wings does Saint Michael the Archangel have?
There are 9 types of angels and have a hierarchy of power separated into 3 "spheres". The Seraphim angels are the highest and have six wings, and the archangels are actually the second from the bottom regardless of their power and responsibility. Also, as of what I've researched into, the archangels are suppose to have 2 wings, but some of them like Michael or the a few others that are higher than the rest are actually seen as higher than the Seraphims and i have seen a few drawings of him that depict him with 6 wings so to answer your question, I'm pretty sure he has 6.

Are angels described in the Bible as having wings?
Generally speaking, the Bible describes angels as human-like in appearance and not having wings; in fact there are some passages where having wings would have been quite incongruous. On the other hand, there are two beings that are commonly included with angels and which are shown as having wings: cherubim and seraphim.The best biblical description of cherubim (sing: cherub) is to be found in the story of the Ark of the Covenant, and it appears that they were sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions and two wings. Similar figures appear throughout the ancient Near East, including, of course, Egypt.Seraphim (sing: seraph) are described in Isaiah 6:2 as part of God's retinue and it seems they were creatures of fire, with six wings.
