If You Could Build The A Team

[cmdrkoenig67]

I'd like to see Earthmover, Manikin, Feedback, Flex and Murmur working on this team for the government...Other than them...I don't know.

Okay, I admit it!

There was a "slight" typo in the title of this post. The word "The" should have been omitted. My bad. Should have read "If you could build a team"

NOt "The A-Team". Sigh...

'Cause we all know that ALPHA really is "The original 'A' Team," anyway...and predates the television series (by years).

no error IMO.

I write Alpha Flight fanfic so Ill use the team Im using now in my story arc
Yeti - Dan Smallwood - makes a pact to get power so he can find Marrina

OK, I haven't read any AF comics in a lot of years. Is this what happened with Dan Smallwood, or is Yeti your creation, mos-def? I like the idea a lot!

[mos_def]

Yeti isnt my idea. Yeti is actually a smarter Wendigo who was part of Weapon Prime and Department K. Dan Smallwood just vanished off the face of the universe but I think he would have motive to find Marrina. Becoming a Wendigo is the easy part. Controlling such a creature is what Department K did in Northstar. Put the two together and I think you have something

I don't think Weapon P.R.I.M.E.'s Yeti is really a wendigo, though...Unless they de-tailed him (but why would they do that?). Who knows?

Koz, Arachne is already back in the States, where she was blinded and given Madame Web's powers (In Spider-Man's "Great Hunt" storyline). She is now the new Madame Web. Manbot is a great idea, though...I totally forgot about him.

Cripes...I just thought about Julia and her relationship with the Shroud..They're both blind now. Marvel really didn't have to blind her, did they?

[Flightpath07]

I don't think Marvel likes Shoud. They never seem to want to use him except as an occasional guest star somewhere. Why the heck didn't they choose him to lead the Thunderbolts?

I was vaguely aware of the Mdam Web thing but did not feel bound by it for the purpose of the thread.

And the blind couple thing...trust ME, it happens.

Those darkforce characters need to be written by someone with a fascination for the power. Otherwise they end up like Darkstar, casually killed and even more casyally (and poorly) resurrected. I don't remember the Shroud's LS as anything good, tho I loved most appearances he has made.

Pointer in the Guardian/Vindicator outfit to fight Guardian.
Talisman to fight Shaman
Wendigo to fight Sasquatch
Witchfire to fight Snowbird
Plodex Creature (of some kind) to fight Marinna
Box (Madison) to fight Aurora
Yukon Jack to fight Northstar
Puck II (Daughter) to fight Puck

I have trouble thinking Elizabeth would willingly fight her father. Considering that in Omega Flight she looked to practically take over the mantle of Shaman. However working with the gov't as Alpha's spy I'll accept.

Puck leading a team would be interesting and he'd be damn dangerous too. I'll leave the why to Fred and Greg. Others I'd add are:
Puck II (Zuzha): Lots of good moments to be had here, she'd finally meet her real dad and fight beside him, but does Eugene want that?
Nemesis: Just because she's so bad ass with a cool costume.
The Plodex Kid (vol 3): Rapidly aged and trained. Marrina would be his target.
Box: Poor Jeffries, so easily manipulated, this time by his own gov't. Creates Box power suits manned by the military.
Madame Web (Julia Carpenter): She is reactivated by the Canadian gov't and brought aboard. Now with her seer-like powers she poses the biggest threat to Alpha Flight.
Omega: Pointer is promised control over the voices in his head and an endless supply of "juice" if he cooperates.
Wendigo: A new person has obtained the curse but with Talisman's help is able to stave off the feral madness.

Alternative: Having no super-powered individuals the Canadian gov't trusts to bring Alpha in they turn to their allies across the sea and ask for:
