The Destroyer
Everyone knows about the trio of endgame materials - Shroomite, Ectoplasm, and Beetle Husks.
Note that you can also make wings with all these.
Shut up. The imbalance of wings in Terraria is a topic for another thread, but I find it dissatisfying that only one of these has a special ability.
You might use the Hoverboard for it's speed bonus, but with the introduction of Fishron Wings, and with the numerous equally powerful, yet easier to get wings, the Ghost Wings and Beetle Wings aren't going to be used, even against the Moon Events, which is ostensibly the point where they would be most useful.
So I intend to change those wings such that, like the Hoverboard, they're are useful not only for travel, but also battle.
Ghost Wings
The Ghost Wings should correspond to Mages, and be useful alongside the Spectre Set. In my experience, Mages are mid-range glass cannons with a great need to dodge. So I'm revamping these wings entirely. Rather than holding down jump to ascend continuously, it gives you 8 jumps in midair. These jumps will instantly change your momentum to the direction you're inputting into, and launch you faster than normal temporarily. Moreover, the jumps increase your jump height even more than the Balloon accessories. The air speed boost given by the wings will remain.
Beetle Wings
The Beetle Wings should likewise correspond to Warriors, and be useful alongside the Beetle Set. Warriors are tanky beasts with obscene crowd control and powerful attack options. The Beetle Wings would, as such, provide a very small speed boost and lift you in the air relatively slowly, however, in exchange, it has a greatly increased flight time, and the effect of the Featherfall Potion. The idea is for you to fire death upon your enemies whilst gleefully floating above their heads. On the ground, the wings provide the knockback of the Thorns Potion, but not the damage, and give you immunity to knockback.
Comments and criticism, as always, are appreciated.

I suggest that these wings give a 2 defense and knockback immunity, but only while grounded. This comes with a small drop in flight speed.
(If I'm being completely honest, I'm not sure about this. I'm open to suggestions.)
