So, just thinking off the top of my head...

If we're talking recognised core team then I think you're right, but Talisman could be in that group?
Yes. But we aren't ever supposed to mention that they died, not ever again; okay?Quote:

Didn't Somon kill her, Northstar, and Aurora way back in the story when they were searching for Walter's soul? I remember a scene where a giant vision of Somon stabs his fingers through them, killing them. Shaman then uses some of Walter's soul to revive them. That happened right? Or am I confusing reality with fantasy?Quote:

I'd forgotten about that.
Hmm...
Madison?

Jeffries, Shaman, Lil and Nemesis all had to die to enter the realm of 'Carcass' AF #125 ish. We're running out of candidates. :)
Ah...I didn't remember that story.
Stitch? Unless she's currently deceased (...And if she even counts as a member of Alpha Flight)?
Volume 2 and 3 Alphans? Murmur, Flex and Yukon Jack?

Well, I meant from the current 8 when I posed the question, but it's interesting to see all the deaths mount up.
So I guess they've all bit the big one at some point (a few more than once).

Another thing that struck me, given Nicieza's retconning and storyline (which has been ages since I read it) has Mac actually died other than in New Avengers?
I don't count the difference, usually.Quote:

Another fake out wasn't it? He bounced through to another dimension or something where the Master found him. He was brainwashed, and came back in issue #130 to fight AF.Quote:

Mac only officially died in New Avengers #16 for the first time.
What about Feedback, Windshear, Manikin, Persuasion? Flex, Ghost Girl, Radius, Murmur, Flinch....
Didn't he die in the X-men Annual where Baby Hudson was born only to be brought back by Angel's "healing blood"?Quote:

Do you mean Radius?Quote:

I was never sure whether he actually legally died or if Angel saved him from the brink of death.
I thought the Collective only absorbed all the mutant energies after the "No More Mutants" event stripped them of their powers? I remember a story with Windshear (in an X-men comic IIRC) in which he was now an artist with a shop in England that occurred before the NA #16 AF death. He had no powers, but previously had somehow found a way to make his hard air constructs permanent.Quote:

Really?! Wow, I was all kinds of wrong on that one. :-sQuote:

Also, no, Phil, Mac died illegally. He didn't have a permit.
They were gonna arrest him, but Angel brought him back.
He hadn't lost his powers in that story; he used them to make his art.Quote:

Windshear was officially depowered and his powers showed up on the New Avengers control screen saying the Collective had his and various other mutant powers.
No, close to death. Angel's blood heals, it does not bring people back from the deadQuote:

Doesn't mean he wasn't there... probably off having a smoko.Quote:

Very true, just Omega Red died from the same story and he was there is all. We will have to wait and see I suppose.
