Rating the Alpha Flight Characters

[-K-M-]

King M:

I know what you mean! The Master of the World IS about it as Alpha Villains go. Omega Flight could be cool if Marvel could come up with a better roster of villains, those one-dimensional 'Z'-Listers didn't quite cut it.

Weapon Omega? Yeah, I wanted something a little obscure for the Alpha Waves Forum. I don't know, after reading Alpha Flight vol. #1 issue 102 I always thought the all-black "stealth" suits looked great. Too bad that's the only issue they EVER appear in!! Welcome to the forum man!!

Exactly, and the Master is not even that strong. He has a cool concept, but meh! Like really the Alpha team is pretty powerful and respected around the world and even have many allies, but as rogues go they don’t get respect. Mostly all they do now is cameo’s, which sucks.

Actually I have that issue and it did look great. However, I did like his red costume where his headband covered everything but his mouth. Good old Wild Child, is his voice box still ripped out? And thanks for the welcome

Welcome, King Mungi....and all the newest posters.

It's interesting to see other people's favorite Alpha Flight characters, so at the risk of stating the obvious, I enjoy this thread.

Hopefully, someone will beef up the villians (or add some good ones), because I agree that the truly formidable AF bad-guys are too few and far between.

Can anyone tell me what comic book the alternate version ALPHA FLIGHT led by Wolverine and has Shaman with a mask?
Looks great. I would like to track those issues down, if possible.

Thanks, and I'm glad your enjoying this thread. Next I should make a post your picture thread or something to just to do something.

It might have been Marvel "What If 59: Wolverine Led Alpha Flight" comic. Here's the cover, I don't have the issue, but maybe someone can double check.

Nope it wasn't the What If issue. That pic of Shaman with a mask is from one of AF's Exiles appearances (again, led by Logan), but in that one (or so I'm told) John Proudstar became Shaman. IIRC, it's the one where Sasquatch (the female, white-furred Sasquatch, who turns out to be Heather Hudson, a Black woman) first makes her appearance in the Exiles community.

What Allan says is bang on. Yes, this isn't Michael Twoyounman, it's John Proudstar.

The picture in question is:

Ben, that's the picture I saw!

Thanks HappyCanuck and King Mungi. I was hoping it was an EXILES issue, although if it's an early edition, it's got to be a few years old, by now...and probably scarce or valuable (or both). Money and bills are getting tight, so I won't be able to pursue this as urgently as I wanted to, but I'm glad to know where it is.

The issue #(s) would be appreciated, if not too much trouble.

[Ben]

Dont' think it's terribly valuable, but at any rate you shouldn't have much trouble finding that part of the run in TPB

The issue #(s) would be appreciated, if not too much trouble.

That's from Exiles #5. That Alternate Alpha Flight story arc continues into issue #6. It's no wonder they made an appearance. I went to Junior HS with Judd Winick. He painted an giant awesome Alpha Flight mural on one of the walls up near the front office, let's see, that must have been back in 1984 or so. I bet he had been itching to write an AF story for a long time. Unfortunately, the mural has since been repainted over when the school turned into a Community College.

Love,
