    Ok, here's the first updated and expanded timeline....feel free to offer up suggestions or synopses for events not expanded yet (see my first post on this thread for the background of the timeline)

    Circa 8,000 BC: As a result of the redirected extreme electromagnetic power surge of his exploding battlesuit, James MacDonald Hudson (44), suffering head trauma and internal bleeding from his battle with Jerry Jaxxon, arrives on the frozen surface of Ganymede, largest of Jupiter’s moons; Unable to breath the atmosphere and suffering from exposure to the extreme cold, James Hudson succumbs and “dies”; James is brought “back to life” by a native race to Ganymede, the Qwrlln, who, having never seen a human before, use their medical technology to integrate James’ battle suit components into his repaired body, making James a cyborg with the ability to control electromagnetic energy; James spends 10 months with the Qwrlln, who work to send James back to Earth; Realizing that he’s travelled through time as well as space, James and the Qwrlln devise a plan to place James in suspended animation for 10,000 years, while at the same time building a spacecraft capable of taking James to Earth; James Hudson enters suspended animation

    Circa 6,000 BC: As James Hudson sleeps in suspended animation, the Qwrlln engage in a total world war that destroys their civilization and almost all of their population; James’ spacecraft and suspended animation pod remain intact, kept safe in a hidden location

    1885: John Howlett, Jr. is born to Elizabeth Hudson Howlett and Thomas Logan in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada; Elizabeth does not reveal John Jr.’s true parentage to her husband, John Howlett, Sr.

    1899: After the murder of his “father”, John Howlett Sr., by the groundskeeper, Thomas Logan, James Howlett (13)’s mutant power manifests itself as his hands produce sharp bone claws and he savagely kills Thomas Logan; As a result of his mutant healing factor, James’ memories are also “healed” and he all memory of the events are lost; Escaping to British Columbia with his companion, Rose, James takes on the new name “Logan”; Because of his mutant healing factor, Logan starts to age at a greatly reduced rate

    This is an enormous amount of work. I agree with Le Messor: the twins seem to be younger than thirty, and Heather is not younger than they are. The different ages of the characters is one of the elements of diversity that make original Alpha Flight what it is.

    You're correct in the fact that Heather is older than the twins; 7 years older to be exact. As for the twins being younger than thirty, I explained how the twins age was calculated a couple of posts back. It comes down to a couple of solid facts set down by John Byrne via narration in the text: Aurora is 18 when she joins Beta Flight and 19 when she's moved up to Alpha, which is the year before AF #1, making the twins 20 in AF #1. Heather and James celebrate their 10 year anniversary "next Thursday" after AF #1, making Heather 28 for that issue, "not yet thirty" in #11, and 29 according to her speech to Judd in AF #13. AF#88 has Madison Jeffries mention that Guardian "died over two years ago", so AF #100 places the twins at 24 and Heather at 31. With the in-text passing of time, 2 separate "months later" / "year later" Marvel events, or, at the bare minimum, the age of baby Claire for V.4 (eighteen months old), the twins are pushing 30. I've calculated there to be 6 additional Marvel years after AF#100, based on the above evidence, making the twins 30 and Heather 37. You are completely correct that the diversity, including age, is one of the best parts of the series and hopefully future writers will embrace that

    I think the issue for me was that reading AF as a child, #1 Heather in her shorts, high river t-shirt, and big glasses appeared younger to me than teaching staff Jeanne-Marie and Olympic skier Jean-Paul, so that always stuck with me.
    Yet as you say, laid down in a clear timeline, she's clearly not.

    Here's a quick question that I need an answer to: Is the flashback scene in AF vol 2. #1, where Mac is stabbed by Logan, canon or is it some sort of false memory implant? There's a very small window of time where Mac has his costume and Wolverine is still part of Dept H, so I was curious if the event really happened.

  8. #23

    Default

    It hasn't been stated either way.

    One interpretation was that it was a memory implant given to the clone, to explain the de-aging.
    Another is that it happened and that was when they took the cells to clone him.

    When Logan first saw the costume in Uncanny #109, he acted like he didn't recognise it.

    Just something I'm putting out there.

    to complicate things further, Mac and Logan chit chat while Mac's in costume and both fight Bedlam IN costume (flashback AF #52 - 53). Timeline: Mac makes his costume......Mac finds Bedlam.....Mac and Logan fight Bedlam.....Logan guts Mac.....Mac sends Logan with Proto AF to fight Citadel....Mac shows off his costume to Heather...Logan quits. Does that make sense at all?

    Default

    and the trauma of joining the X-men and fighting in space against the Shiar makes Logan's healing factor "heal away" his memory of Mac in costume?

    It's awesome to read AF history in that format! Thanks

    So, I'm hard at work cranking out a much better and more expanded version of my timeline and I've got some questions maybe the group can come to a consensus on:

    1. two conflicting times of year for James' birthday: in AF vol. 2 #19, Mac the synth says he was born in October vs. AF vol. 2 #1 where the narration says James is a Sagittarius ie. born between Nov. 21st and Dec. 21st

    2. the AF Vol 2 #1 flashback of Logan stabbing Mac: implant or memory?

    3. Can we all pretend and make canon that the ORIGINAL members of AF all left on the Plodex ship at the end of vol. 3 and that the temporal copies were the ones killed by The Collective. Then the original ones were let out of the land of the dead during Chaos War and as soon as they got back they returned to their timeline. Meanwhile, Mac and co. delivered the plodex eggs and returned home, never having been killed off

    I'd give it to the original one; if a synth says he was born in October, it's possible that's the synth's creation date rather than the original's birth date.

    Memory.

    Sounds good, but in this scenario: how did the originals get to the land of the dead? Something happened in space?
