Article: Alpha Flight #5 Solicitation **Spoiler Sensitive**

The problem with them throwing a bullet would then be getting it to fly straight -
however, the spray them like a machine gun idea sounds workable.

Spit don't weigh enough to kill a man, which is something Grandpa rplass taught me when I was a kid.

Do I want to hear the rest of that story?

Do a simple experiment. Have a friend spit at you at 55mph out of the window of a car and see if you die. I bet you won't.

Bet I will!
Oh, you mean from the spit...
You're probably right about that.

I would guess even a handful of jelly beans thrown at the right velocity would be enough to deter any would be attacker. Bit of a Super Villian fail though if you had to admit to be taken out by a apricot flavoured sweet hitting you in the eye.

Some super-villains are epic-fail all by themselves; think Paste Pot Pete and Stilt-Man.

[DelBubs]

Caliber comes to mind. Stilt Man had obvious flaws, what was needed was some one down below tying his boot laces together.

[Le Messor]

Caliber was meant for fail though - there only as an excuse to get Alpha together (much the way they used Attuma in #1 - did anyone else think that? I've thought specifically of Caliber before, in considering that.)

I notice your new avatar, Del - cool. And, I note the theme. Ah, Adolph, so much fun!

Would be interesting one day to run a poll on Alphas lamest villians. Caliber got two appearences though. As for the Avatar, what can I say, more than Harpo obviously, but still my hero.

[Flightpath07]

Alpha's lamest villain? Shouldn't that be Roger Bochs?!!

[Le Messor]

Ooh! Viscous!

I personally never saw anything heroic or super heroic in the ability to shot a gun...
I like my heroes with powers which I don't possess, hence the reason I HATE Flash

Couple days late to the conversation but Northstar at super speed vectoring off, a logy a SPLAT while it might not be fatal sure did bring a smile to my face. Now let's replace said hocker with mouthful of seed...

The vectoring off is going to have to happen. I image it'd be like spitting into the wind while it would be hualing as soon as it left his mouth air friction would soon begin to slow it and then splat right in his own eye.

Time to e-mail mythbusters.

Just a thought; have AF ever actually classed themselves, or at least referred to themselves, as superheroes?

If they're Canada's protectors then is the use of arms part of protecting the nation & it's people at any cost?

Not defending it, just playing devil's advocate.

Uh, -- Gordon, or --, the Fastest Man Alive?
'coz you probably don't got the power to get a Queen theme song! :P

Not sure, it's something I'd probably gloss over without thinking about it; but:
From the second origin story, called 'Purpose'
(The Fantastic Four) ""Transformed into... What's this the paper calls them? Super Heroes! That's it!"
At that moment James Hudson finds the one element missing from Department H. (...) Purpose!"

So, yeah, according to Mac their whole purpose was to be superheroes right from the beginning. In so many words.

Or maybe Thompson... but it couldn't be because he was a real jerk to Peter Parker.

All the more reason for CMSS to hate him?
