I can't pass this thread up...
...because Alpha Flight started wracking up a lot of characters that just don't make any sense:
Radius [can't eat without forcefield-nullifying thingy, so how does he go to the bathroom?], Flex, Murmur*/Persuasion, and my most hated character, considered by some Alphans themselves to be worthy and right for the team----LIONEL (Monster-making savior of the team) JEFFRIES.
* These guys wouldn't last twenty seconds against a well-written Great Beast; I keep going back to it, but the story itself confirms that the newbies couldn't even take down Mesmero...Mesmero! Couldn't bring myself to pick on volume 3 since I consider it an "imaginary story" and I like the artwork...but that group didn't deserve to call itself 'Alpha Flight', either. Don't hate them, though.
