    I agree
    But I consider the fact that she has never been taken to task for it to be an unresolved plot thread. Puck, Box and Northstar were there, so would probably recognize the heat of the moment decisions. Shaman, Snowbird and Mac shpuld still have questions or doubts about the incidents, especially as there ARE two instances where she wantonly fired on teammates. (Wonder wh they left that off of #120's "Join Alpha" recruiting poster.)

    Welcome tot he 21st Century, Mok...Heather CAN be CEO instead of just the secretary to one.

    From both covers - Chaos War and Avengers #4 it seems the artist/creative team is taking Alpha back to their original costumes or close to.

    I personally hope that they keep the newer costumes. I much prefer Talisman's Omega outfit and I do like Northstar's newer costume. I would like to see the others with a little more or a modern/current take on their costumes as well. Not to stray too much from the design of the original, just enough to give them an up-to-date look.

    I meant Heather should run Hudson Tech.

    jason aarons explination of puck being in hell in a recent interview:

    Since it's already been revealed in interviews and solicits, could you explain why Alpha Flight member Puck is in hell, despite some of his heroics as a member of the team?
    Puck, I'm afraid, has been paying the price for having an evil sorcerer trapped inside his body for years (if you don't believe me, go ask Wikipedia). Ah, the perils of living in the Marvel Universe...

    and more info from fan expo:

    Cebulski began by referring to the previously announced miniseries “Chaos War,” a story spinning out of events in “Incredible Hercules.” Stating that it will “play around with some of the boundaries of the mortal realm,” he displayed some art from a tie-in with the self-explanatory title “Dead Avengers” before telling the appreciative audience that Alpha Flight members killed off by Brian Bendis will also return in a very Canadian one-shot. (He later hinted that the team’s revival won’t end there.) While describing the still-living Giant-Man’s resumption of that name in “Avengers Academy” #7, Cebulski said that one of the issue’s variant covers will involve “our merger with a little company named Disney.”

    Oh and here I thought maybe Puck's mercenary days is what got him in Hell, but just that demon (Raazar) he had inside him did it. Kind of weak really. Oh well, I will still pick it up

    I know, and I'm not dissin' you per se, but there's still the implication that the man should be field leader of the field forces even though the woman has more experience (and didn't get herself blown up.)

    Reread V1 #14...everything why Heather should be leader is in there. Now picture the same issue if she had already been in the battlesuit. None of Mac's overthinking hesitation.

    Actually, like the Razor plot-twist to the origin of Puck that Byrne created or not (and I am halfway between on that one), that actually makes sense. Puck is paying the price for trapping Razor within himself (Razor's revenge?).

    With any luck, they will be able to make Puck's history make sense somehow. I know, I know, it'll be a "tall order" (groan...), but hopefully somebody will be able to do so.

    John Byrne did not...Repeat: Did not have anything to do with Raazer being associated with Puck's origin...Bill Mantlo was the fellow responsible for that. John Byrne intended Puck to be a normal dwarf with a condition called Achondroplasia (which is painful and is the cause of the most common type of dwarfism), which Byrne actually named in one issue of Alpha Flight. Mantlo either missed that fact or ignored it.

    Perhaps this
    like the Razor plot-twist to the origin of Puck that Byrne created or not
    should instead have read,

    "Whether or not you like the plot-twist that was ADDED to Byrne's original origin of Puck..."

    Cuz that was what i meant.

    Ah, okay, because that did not come across.

    Good to see you're now thinking like the rest of us.

    Wait...if the rest of you are thinking, are you thinking "Collectively"? Blech - I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit.
