Typically, we think of wings as fragile objects since they're easy to break in real life, but when it comes to combat, writers like to make them stronger than they actually are for the sake of Rule of Cool.
For example, wings are able to withstand things like explosions and lasers without breaking a single bone.
This is usually done to emphasize how powerful the character is, especially when they can deflect attacks right back at their opponent or negate them completely.
Things get a bit fussy with mechanical wings because it's usually expected that they're built to withstand damage in the first place. Yet it's also more likely for them to be destroyed because anything metal or robotic is prone to blowing up. So when a Cyborg or Mechanical Monster uses their wings to block an attack, it then acts as a tip for the audience that they're not going down anytime soon.
And because of their strength, winged characters will often use them to protect not only themselves, but also others from danger and various hazards, similar to how birds use their wings to protect their young from rain and predators in Real Life.
There are three common variations of the trope, though they're not required to be included here. Usually the wings...
Wrap around the body like a protective blanket
Bend forward, covering only the face and chest
Or stretch out horizontally, usually acting as a makeshift umbrella to protect someone else's head from falling debris or rain.
When not used for self-defense, wings can also be used to comfort others or convey certain emotions, such as a Winged Humanoid using them to hide their face out of shame or embarrassment, or to provide a hug to a crying individual as if to protect them from whatever is upsetting them.
Similar to Feather Fingers, expect the wings to bend at otherwise-impossible angles in order to properly shield someone.
Can also overlap with Cape Wings if the wings turn into literal capes as a means of defense. See Razor Wings if the wings have a cutting edge to them.

Devil May Cry 4:
The Bianco Angelos and Alto Angelos' wings also function as their collapsible shields. The shields can be destroyed to negate their flight, but will reform after a while.
Credo's "Angelo" form has one of his wings turn into a shield that can block frontal attacks.

X-Men: Archangel would routinely use his metal wings to block attacks while he had them. Given their ability to regenerate, having them take damage wasn't a big deal for him and they were pretty tough to boot so their defensive value was quite significant.

Darkstalkers: Morrigan and Lilith are able to harden their wings to protect themselves from harm. Dimitri can also use his Cape Wings in a similar fashion. Jedah Dohma deserves extra mention, as his wings are shaped like scythes — thanks to his amorphous body structure, he simply grows extra blades to block.

During the Welsper arc of Ah! My Goddess, Peorth's angel, Gorgeous Rose, protects her from a deadly energy blast fired by Welsper by wrapping her wings around Peorth's body. Aside from part of her wings being singed off, Gorgeous Rose doesn't seem worse for wear (and her wings have healed by her next appearance).

The titular hero from Batfink provides the page quote, as he's an anthropomorphic grey bat with metallic wings that can withstand anything ranging from missiles to bullets. Every time he uses them to protect himself or others, he says some variation of his famous line, "My wings are like a shield of steel!"

Gatekeepers in Eternal Darkness keep their wings caped around themselves when advancing towards you, which makes them immune to melee weapons and gunfire from the front; you have to either hit them from behind or wait for them to attempt an attack, which involves spreading their wings open.

Lucifer: The titular Fallen Angel can use his wings to this effect after they regrow, though it's largely unnecessary since he's immune to mortal weapons. Played for Drama in the Season 3 finale when he shields Chloe Decker from multiple gunmen even though that immunity is suppressed, causing him serious injury.

The Wonderful 101: The Hah-Gonay enemies can cover most of their bodies with their wings. Not only do they guard against attacks, but they also shoot spikes. The best way around this defense is to pry the wings apart with Unite Claw.

Falcon's upgraded EXO-7 wings from the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be used as shields thanks to being made out of a special carbon fiber material, making it resistant to gunfire. Their shapeshifting capabilities are shown off the most in Captain America: Civil War, where they're seen to fold into shields to cover Falcon's front as he drops in between two IFID Security goons. Though they can also be used one at a time to cover his lower body while he's attacking, and also merge to form a bigger shield to protect his backside.

Wonder Woman 1984. Diana uses the ancient armor of Asteria that makes her look like a golden winged angel for the final battle, and it's shown capable of blocking an entire magazine of gunfire from several Phalanx CIWS's. However Cheetah can tear through it with her Super-Strength, so Diana discards the wraparound wings that form the shield because they're just getting in her way.

In Banjo-Kazooie, Kazooie can perform the Wonderwing ability when she learns it from Bottles in Clanker's Cavern. When used, Kazooie can use her wings to shield Banjo, making them both temporarily invincible. Each Gold Feather Kazooie collects grants her and Banjo two seconds of invincibility. They can hold up to ten Gold Feathers, but once they learn a special cheat from finding Cheato the Spellbook a third time,note GOLDFEATHERS they can hold up to twenty.

Skylanders Academy:
In Return to Cynder, Cynder uses her wings to protect herself and Spyro from the debris caused by the explosive Beam-O-War duel between her and her father, Malefor.
During Spyro's rematch with Malefor in the Season 2 finale, Malefor douses Spyro in a powerful blast of fire breath. At first, it seems like the smaller dragon is finished, only for the smoke to clear out and reveal Spyro hiding behind his wings completely unscathed, much to Malefor's surprise. Justified, since Spyro is a rare and special breed of dragon that are known to have impenetrable scales all over their bodies to withstand such attacks.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid:
In the anime version of her fight with Ilulu, Tohru uses her wings to block an attack directed at the city below. It doesn't do any damage to her, but it's obviously painful and left her open to another attack.
One of the Mini Dragon shorts had Kanna quickly shielding Saikawa to keep her from getting wet when a car sped through a puddle. She has also used her wings as a makeshift down blanket for both Kobayashi (in the main series) and Saikawa (in her spin-off).

Dead Fantasy 2: During one of the fights, Rachel fires an energy attack at Kairi and Rikku. Rinoa sweeps in from behind and folds her wings around them, protecting them from the attack.

Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger / Power Rangers Wild Force: Gao Icarus / Isis Megazord can do this thanks to the wings of the Falcon that makes up the upper part of the mecha's body.

Tekken: Angel and Devil sport a distinctive blocking animation in Tekken 2 that has them using their wings to block incoming attacks. This is purely cosmetic, however, and was removed for later games. In Angel's ending for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, she uses her wings to block Devil's beam attacks at one point.

In the MMORPG Aion, player characters who are killed will huddle on the ground with their wings domed over them, shielding their body until they're either resurrected or time out and respawn at their spawn point.
