I agree with Hankpym...I also think the best approach is to not address said continuity screw jobs, especially Puck's "origin". I really don't think there is any way to fix Puck without some sort of reboot, since several authors have established that Puck used to be tall and that Razer was the cause of his short stature.
The only way I can see to do said clean up in aisle 4 (hockey gear), is to do a soft reboot/retcon...Say Puck returns and he mentions having Achondroplasia (maybe more than once) as Byrne intended and originally stated in the book, but have no character in the book ever mention Razer again. Said retcon/reboot would only be successful if it was consistent moving forward from that point on, was set in stone in future Handbook Puck entries and if certain fans actually allowed it to be Puck's accepted history (there is no guarantee of the last one, though...Even though I personally, would be fine with it).

yknow...I never count the continuity error that said Bochs and Jefferies knew each other before Byrne's run. Actually I think it was kind of corrected when Jeffries says in issue #63 (I think) that when he hooked up with bochs to get revenge on Omega Flight it was the first time they met. So....I just chalked up Mantlo's error as having scramble mess with jeffries and boch's mind since he touched them both. I also attribute that to boch's insanity....since it made no sense for him to suddenly to go nuts when Mac said he was a stable individual.

And over on Grek Pak's Twitter:
Do not miss a single issue of "Alpha Flight." That's all I'm saying. RT @MattSD1 Two questions: 1) Where is Purple Girl?
From the ComicVine coverage of C2E2's Fear Itself panel:
Bold-ing is my addition.Alpha Flight (no visuals provided) will show what's going on North of the border. The original team is back. The government has changed and Alpha Flight is fighting a new government super group.
Edit; also similar to the post below but with more a hint
Will Puck be in Alpha Flight? "Maaaaaaaybe."

Newsarama's coverage:
Puck in Alpha Flight? "Maybe," Van Lente answered.

Hmm... New team? That's a cool idea, whether they use new characters or old.
But I hope it's a real superteam, and not yet another Weapon X style thing (the program, not the comics series).
Still, either way, could be cool.

Puck could be in it? And Purple Girl? Hunting down the other members of Alpha Flight? Interesting...I mean, yes, it's been done before in AF, but still...I'm hooked.

I wouldn't mind seeing a team based on villains or even a Weapon X style thing, because then AF could cut loose and kick there sorry *ss*s back to the Stone Age.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
