Major Mapleleaf Senior.

He's retired, but when last we saw him he was alive and kickin... and capable of going toe-to-toe with Northstar.

I always thought a couple of interesting stories might be to provide a little more context to his implied/perceived abuse of his son, Major Mapleleaf Jr. The memories that implied such to some, were those of a young, less favoured boy who was caught redhanded doing something his dad had expressedly forbidden afterall.

I think such a story would redeem him in the eyes of those who are absolutely convinced he was a bitter old child abusing.

And another, possinly related, would deal with the delibating psychological effects that the Super Soldier Serum has had on all it has been adminstered too... with the exception of Steve Rogers. It would also establish, as opposed to merely suggest, that a SSS program was indeed the origin of his powers.

He would also be a good source for reminiscience type stories... untold tales of the Invaders (whom he is said to have fought alongside in WWII)or his early career figthing crime or whatever in Canada (which he is said to have enjoyed).

The Most Likely Future.

I agree. I don't see how it could be the Thing. I tried a couple of side-by-sides but nothing seemed to fit as well as Walter. Only time will tell.

Or Armadillo.

SPOILERS:

Keep in mind folks, that the Skrulls are rumored to have at least one Skrull agent on every one of the 50 State Initiative teams. Armadillo was a criminal until recently, when he joined the Texas Rangers super hero team (not to mention, he's also showing up in the Hood's mass criminal gathering at the same time...Hmmmmm?).

The Avengers teams are rumored to have one or more Skrulls each, There is one Skrull each already in the Young Avengers and the Runaways teams....Hmmmm. Hank Pym/Yellowjacket has been shown to be impersonated by a Skrull (and there may be more at the Initiative training camp), The Invisible Woman has recently been impersonated by Lyja (Johnny Storm's Ex-Wife) and blasted the Baxter Building into the Negative Zone, etc...Maybe it is Walter, but maybe not...The Invasion continues to be revealed...

somebody that can paint could do a Captain Canuck pretty easy too, but painting is not my skill.

which leads to a related question, what other Canadian superheroes besides AF exist out there ?

An old work from my over-productive mind.... or what do you think about something like that? do you think it's decent enought to keep working on? ok, now let me explain it....Well, When Civil War first come out, I started to write "through the eyes of the Blackdragon"
(you can find it from here, at
[url]http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3428790/1/Through_the_eyes_of_the_Blackdragon)[/url] ; but, few weeks later, I come out with a sort of sequel, more a "what if", if you want to describe it. It was just an idea, really; in fact, I wrote just a summary, on a flying piece of paper, and I was sure it wasalready in hte bin from almost a couple of years, but this afternoon, while looking inside one of my old notebook, I found that flying piece of paper, with the whole synopsys wrote on it....

"Five years after the cataclysm known as "Decimation", the High Evolutionary was able to restore the mutant gene of all the former Homo Sapiens Superiors. Now, after the Civil War divided the super-hero community on a world-wide level, a new group raised on the soil of the so called "Free Republic of New Genosha"; under the patronage of elected president and first minister MBASA WARII, foreign minister Erik Lehnsherr and U.N. (that ask for their intervention during the hard times), the international team fight word wide and menaces as well. But now that the mutants are again destined to inherit the planet, it's up to the EXTREMES to let the world accept it..."

This was the summary; with it, a summarisation of the main cast.

Genosha:
President of Genosha: Mbasa Warii;
Foreign Minister: Former president Erik Lehnsherr;
Head of the ethical commission for the development of science: Charles Xavier
Director of the Ross University Clinic: Cecilia Reyes

Tomorrow Academy (note: it's a school for both humans and mutants) staff: Directors: Charles Xavier and Erk Lehnsherr; Teachers (among the others): Angelica Johns (formerly Firestar, retired from superhero activity); Shen Xorn ("Xorn"). Notably students: Morgan Vigneaux (Weaked); Laura Howlet (formerly X-23, now just "X"), Mindee, Celeste and Phoebe Frost [note: originally was just Stepford, but, considering the revelation that they are sort of daughters to Emma...], now free from the Phoenix and able to feel again (actual alias; triads; formerly knows as the cuckoos).

Team Leader: James Rhodes/War machine; former member of O.N.E.
notable team members: Ruth Bat-Seraph/Sabra(Mossad, SHIELD, X-corporation; Rhode's vice) [in the original script, it was meant to be Bishop]; Davis Cameron (Slipstream); Pete Wisdom (liaison with the British government; responsible for the Intelligence and second vice of Rhodes) [it wasn't supposed to be here at the beginningf, but i realised that theere was too many women and i had to add some males, so...]; Tharenne (Thor Girl, from Asgard); Cerise (an alien, former love interest to Kurt Wagner); Amanda Safton (Daytripper); Walter Langowsky/Sasquatch

Reserves: Daniel Rand (Iron Fist); Roy Harper/Arsenal (skilled archer; knowledge of almost all the types of weapons; martial artist; after a multiversal disaster, he was exiled from his own dimension to 616 or whatever the marvel universe is called. [note: for the ones who doesn't know him, Roy is former sidekick to green Arrow and his now a member of the jla with the codename, guess what since he is dressed in red and was g.a. sidekick, red arrow]); Christine Stark-Johnson/Blackdragon (liaison with SHIELD, too, due to the fact that she knows director Stark very well-he is her older brother).

Medical officer: Cecilia Reyes.
Research and development unit (with ties with both the Extremes and minor to the Genoshian government): Biology and biophysics: Walter Langowsky; high technology: Christine Stark-Johnson.

So, this is what my story was almost originally about; since it's a period i'm full of ideas, what do you think about it? do you think that i have to continue it? any idea ti�o improve it?

If you could have a drink/dinner with any 5 people...

5 people...well. let's start.
Einstein. I've always been devoted to him as person. he was a deep man.
Tolkien. my favourite English autor of ever. Valerio Massiomo Manfredi, my Italian favourite author of ever. (ok, 2 to go...) ren�� de chartes, the phylosopher, and Spielberg.

I'm just too curious. I found this in wikipedia, is that the same Manfredi? Very interesting man, just by this summary.

Quote:

Valerio Massimo Manfredi (born 1946) is an Italian historian, archaeologist and journalist. He was born in Piumazzo di Castelfranco Emilia, province of Modena and is married to Christine Fedderson Manfredi, who translates his published works from Italian to English.

Valerio Massimo Manfredi defines himself "Ancient World Topographer". Since 1978 he spends his time teaching in several European universities, digging ruins in the Mediterranean and in the Middle East, and writing novels.

The Professor of Classical Archaeology in the "Luigi Bocconi" University of Milan and a familiar face on European television, he has led scientific expeditions, excavations and explorations in Italy and overseas. In addition to this, he has published a number of scientific articles and essays as well as thirteen novels, including the Alexander trilogy and The Last Legion. Alexander was published in thirty-six languages in fifty-five countries and The Last Legion was sold for a major film production in the USA, The Last Legion film was released in 2007.

As for the philisopher, I don't know him but that look like Ren� Descartes, Discours de la m�thode and the famous � Je pense donc je suis � ("I think, so I am").

yes , it's him, I don't know why i wrote massiomo... yes, he is my "beloved" v.m. manfredi. I have almost all his books, i really like him. and he is as good in the historic ones as in the "fantasy" ones...

Earth X Companion - which I swear was solicited for Sep 2007 and I never saw it. Well, it's 7 months late and I'm still excited to see it. Alpha Flight may appear (they did in the original Earth X series)

Yeah, it dropped my jaw. Alpha Flight got a full page in this amazing and important book. It's a full-page beautiful version of the sketches that I see now were badly reproduced in the appendix to Earth X #11. Oh, and it says "Canada" in red letters. Now that I see this page, it's clear to me that it should have been p38 of the original Earth X Sketchbook, but omitted from the geographical listings: p35 was the Earth X version of Britian, p36 was the Earth X version of Africa and p37 was Russia.

Love,

Yes he did do those. For a long time hes always been that guy that works with Alex Ross. After Justice hes been finally getting some props as an excellent writer and talent all his own seperate of Alex Ross.
