Some Alpha Flight appearances

[Flightpath07]

Hurray, Box Junior survived!

Um.

In all, his appearance in this LS was...underwhelming. He was there...but that is about it.

As this LS wraps up, a thought comes to mind. My poor brain imagines the discussion at Marvel HQ before this series begins, where somebody throws out the idea of a Canadian school for the powered and gifted...and the idea is quickly stomped on. "Don't want to give those Alpha Flight lovers anything to get their hopes up...they'll just flood all the message boards with their stupid messages about wanting Alpha Flight back." Then somebody comes up with the idea of 'throwing us a bone'; "Hey, what about if we entice them AF fans to buy this series, by inserting a legacy character in the story, but not really doing anything with him after that. This way, we get their money, but don't get their hopes high enough to have to listen to their whining and mewing and complaining..."

I hate to say it, but after reading The Hunt, I get the feeling that I've just been taken advantage of...

Have i mentioned that with the cancellation of the Fearless Defenders title next month, I will now be Marvel-free in my pull list?

Don't worry... I didn't buy it.
There was no interest in the limited itself, and I've recently decided I'm not so in love with the ashes of Alpha Flight that I'll buy every single appearance of anything remotely connected to it. Or that just looks like it.

So they didn't get us all!

I wish I could fly... then I might go to Tasmania!

Northstar appears in this week's X-Men Legacy #21.

[Phil]

Okay... there's a floating head that looks like it could be him... but given the rest of the characters in the panel I think it's more likely meant to be Pete Wisdom.

[rplass]

Which panel do you mean, Phil? I didn't see Northstar.

[Flightpath07]

Which panel do you mean, Phil? I didn't see Northstar.

Well, he IS pretty quick...

[Phil]

Which panel do you mean, Phil? I didn't see Northstar.

There's one panel where there are lots of floating heads of X-characters that Legion has interacted with coming out of his head.
There's a dark haired male head around the top right of the section.
It was reported as being JP but I'm 99% sure it's Wisdom.

Very quick cam-pic:

Apparently Puck (& The rest of X-Force) made a cameo in Uncanny Avengers #15.

[GingrBeard]

His cameo makes no sense at all. Scarlet Witch is casting a powerful rapture spell that takes all of the mutants and teleports them to another planet. Puck is one of the people who gets teleported even though the spell is only aimed at mutants...

[Flightpath07]

...I smell a retro-fitting coming on...

[GingrBeard]

You mean like turning Puck into a mutant so he's not one of those androgynous types like Deadpool floating around?

[Flightpath07]

Deadpool floating around? Wouldn't that be Deadbuoy?

[GingrBeard]

Damn it.. Too good.
