The new Guardian - the secret is now out

[Flightpath07]

Hi Y'all,
First time post-er here. I am glad to be joining you all here, looks like a lot of fun!

Well, anybody else out there still not know who is in the new Guardian suit? Seems to be a lot of ideas floating around, and I think some of them are way off in left field (no offence) - some of you may have missed some large and obvious clues...
Back in October, I thought I knew who it was. And now...now I know! Anybody willing to see if my ideas don't make a whole lot of sense?

Take a quick stroll on over to this link here,
http://canadas-own-the-flight.blogspot.com/
and a quick look at my lastest Alpha Flight blog there will fill you in quite quickly on my "hunch."

I'd be proud if some of you took a look, and then let me know what you think!
Thanx!

Heya Flightpath07, welcome to our asylum! Make yerself comfy in the cupboard, don't mind the Oompa-Loompas, they entertain us with witty songs when we are about to kick spammers off the forum.

As for your theory, you aren't the first to think it might be Kyle in the suit. The only problem I have with the point you make in you blog is saying that he's an American who has worked for the Canadian government. He is actually a Canadian, born in Vancouver BC.

Hey Ben, I always thought he was a Canadian too. I looked up his bio on Marvel.com and they say:

Citizenship U.K. (criminal record in Canada and U.S.)
Place of Birth Canada

When was he in the U.K.?

[Ben]

I wouldn't go by that! The handbook says Vancouver.

Great blogspot Flightpath07. Kyle Gibney and Mac Hudson are likely the leaders in the 'who is Guardian' thing now.

One of my sons emailed Marvel about the downgrade and they emailed him back, asking why he cared it was not ongoing anymore. The little guy did a good job responding, though I never edited it.

BTW, nice logic about why it could be Wild Child. Omega links, once Weapon Omega... But to me it's still a guess, Mac?

[syvalois]

Personnally, he's very far from been my favorite and for that stupid reason I really do hope it's not him in the Guardian costume.

Actually I liked him in the Byrne issues, but when AF became Wildchild/Wildheart and Alpha Flight, I got saturated with him. Plus, because of him, I got to suffer the apparition of Wyre which really suck big time. So I guess I should blame Lodbell for that too, no? He was the writer at that time, no?

[Flightpath07]

Well...
I stand corrected!

I had no idea that he was of Canadian citizenship or born therein.

Hm.
Okay, here is then the problem that i am having. Again, there is that quote that mentions that the originally released photo of Omega Flight (showing five members) has only ONE Canadian in the pic.
But that HAS to be Talisman, then, right?

[ whimpering and looking confused ]

sigh...I am afraid that either I just do not understand, or somebody over at Marvel has made a boo-boo of some sort.
Any way we can clear this up? Anybody talked with Oeming lately?

By the way, thanks for all the kind words and stuff from y'all.

Oh, one more thought on this subject just came to me.

Seems to me that Omega Flight has to be associated with the Canadian Govt in some way. I mean, there can't be a bunch of Amercian SuperPajamas types running around Canada fighting Baddies without being sanctioned by Steve Harper and friends.
That means the Flight must have some sort of govt control over them.

I'm still sticking with the Collective Postman, the teardrop just makes my gut feeling stronger.

I wonder how Beta Ray Bill fits into the government equation? Is he considered, in some weird way (his secret identity, if he has one) a citizen of the U.S. or Canada?

If not, I don't know why they'd keep him around, or why he'd stay (long-term). Unless the connection talked about between he and Talisman is strong enough that he can't/won't/shouldn't leave her side. Otherwise, what would be his motivation? What does he care about villains crossing the Canadian border? And why would the government(s) feel comfortable having this wild card around who has no attachment to either of them? You could argue that they like the power he brings, but why would they trust him?

[Snowsquatch]

Gibney? I could like with that.

Yeah his human body is Canadian

[Mokole]

There's a few I would accept as Guardian, Wild Child, Feedback, Box, Flex, Windshear, even Hudson . Still, I doubt very much that it would be Postman Mike. That would easily kill the series.

Oh.

Well, forget all that other crap then.

How so?
