Actually, given the probable fallout from Civil War, BRB being in Canada makes a lot of sense....
Well, this is exciting news. I'm disappointed at the lack of "classic Alpha" characters in the lineup... but at least it's a decent creative team, Marvel seems to be taking the book seriously, and the concept seems sound.
Now I absolutely have to get around to updating the Guide.
Would Talisman consider herself Canadian or Native American?
Dag! Now I gots no reason to do my retro-Alpha Flight story!
"Omega Flight," eh? That'll work. Give it three issues? Can do. Old Alpha Flight in flashback? Works for me. Ignoring vol. 3?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Here's a like to the latest interview that a previous poster mentioned.

Speculate on!
Would Talisman consider herself Canadian or perhaps Native Canadian. Using the term Native Canadian would be like referring to Nelson Mandela as African-American.
I'm not to sure about the line-up or the name change, but I agree with Oeming that the team has lost credibility over the years due ot a successive string of poor writers. Wiping the slate clean may open the door to something ... better, in the long run.
As for Beta Ray Bill; I didn't quite get Oeming's rationale for him being there. I can appreciate his prescence from a Norse-Vinland angle... the Norse having made regular journeys to the lands that would become Canada until the Little Ice Age at last closed off their passage.
Don't know whats up at all with the Cap looking guy, except that it has been stated repeatedly that this is NOT Steve Rogers/Cap... who shall remain down south and thus in character.
Speaking of the real Cap; I sure didn't like Oeming's suggestion that conscientious folk that come to Canada to avoid US ideological wars are "cowards", but that is neither here nor there. However, so-called "cowards" do beat drones and idiots all to hell.
Hmmm.... I wonder if the reverse real world trend will be explored... Canadians making their way south to sign on with the US military.
Not likely, eh?
I would think that she would consider herself, culturally, a member of whatever Native Indian tribe she stems from first. And then as a citizen of the economic and political multi-national state that is known as Canada second.Quote:

I think see means the Canadian flag uniform. You can't "see" what most of the other characters are, so no biggie.
It's Talisman. Or, maybe maybe, Snowbird. Canadian either way.
I figure Beta Ray Bill is their maybe because of the first enemy they face, and he is on Earth anyway so he might as well do something. Cold space, cold Canada (at times).
