      Murmur's depowered though, and not white.

      The male looks to be too old to be Flex or Radius, definitely an adult-type body.

      This female does not look 'white' to me. I'm assuming you are referring to Caucasian.

      And she could easily be "formerly depowered".

      On the coloured cover though she's definitely not Murmur.
      And my passport says "White - British" so that's the phrase I use; no offense to anyone intended.

      No no! No offence taken. I was just questioning, as the word 'white' could have described the blank white space between the black lines (on her face, on the black and white picture that i was looking at). From that picture, she looked more Native with her hairstyle and all.

      ... and in comics, a white character could be, y'know, white. Like Sandman, or Wendigo or something...

      Any chance we'll see an Alpha/Beta/Omega Flight-er join the Avengers? (My best bet being Talisman, Snow Bird, or the new girl Validator)

      JonathanHickman: Who knows.

      Not exactly expansive in his answer, is he?

      Yeah, but he's not going to spoil May's issue this early.
      It wasn't a definite no which intrigues me.

      Heck, could it even be Killspree or Tyrgerstryke, unlikely as that sounds? I'm thinking more Persuasion than Murmur.

      She's definitely not Purple!

      I'm thinking new character.

      It's conceivable... but they don't look that much like the AF team.

      Ah, I spot another Alpha Flight appearance in the April Solicits. Can you find Sasquatch?

      Guessing it's a reprint?

      He (and Northstar) were referenced in Wolverine & The X-Men #25.
      But that's a little before April.

      Sasquatch is on one of the solicited covers. Check out Deadpool Killustrated #4. On the scattered comics on the ground you can see Deadpool #1 with Sasquatch's shoulder. It's next to Sherlock Holmes' right knee.
