We're all Alpha Flight fans, right...?

Now I want to be clear, I wouldn't mind if Snowbird became more powerful, if it was done logically. I am not saying keep her at her current power level - FOREVER! Not at all. So if she pulled off some kind of crazy stunt that she couldn't before (and it was done with some kind of logical reason) - then I am all for it.

On this we agree. I just think she should have started off more powerful than she did. To me it would have been more logical for Snowbird to have been born a warrior-god armed with the weapons she would need to fight god-like beings (the Great Beasts) than to have been born a metamorph with extreme limitations on her power. The main point I'm trying to make is using in-story logic when writing rather than ignoring it.

Nay! I wasn't saying the logic fails in comics - I meant the fact you sought logic about Snowbird, and if she was supposed to be all powerful, how come she's so "weak" (all things considered). I was saying if the Gods plans were they needed a champion - it makes no logical sense to me why they'd "weaken" their chosen one by having an affair with a human. They're Gods. They resurrect dead people. They appear where ever they want. They do all kinds of magic. Why wouldn't they just MAGICALLY create a champion? A guardian angel, of sorts, if you will? Why even have to do anything with humans to "create" their desired champion? I get it was their story line that Byrne laid out - but if you're looking for logic - you would have to ask yourself, not why Snowbird is weak - but why the gods ever needed to do the wild thing with a human to spawn a half-goddess? Why not just whip one up themselves? They are... after all, gods.

Byrne could have gone that route and it would have been fine with me, it would have made more sense. However, it was just as viable for him to go the way he did as we have gods like Hercules who are demi-gods born of gods and mortals and are very powerful. Either way would be within the logic of the MU framework. The problem isn't the way Snowbird was created, it's her power set and power levels she had for the job she was born to fulfill that are illogical.
