Are you sure? Everything I know about Quebec I learned in MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #139 -- and those Quebec accents sure sounded French to me! Or maybe that was just Batroc the Leaper's narration I'm remembering! :wink:

Just kidding. It's cool that Scott has so many Canadian fans to help him keep his portrayals of Canada as accurate as possible.

My god that was horrible! marvel Comics Presents #139 and I think I'm very glad to never seen it. Batroc, is he the French super hero? If so, what he he doing in Montréal? Vacation I guess. Please M. Lobell, never make that kind of story with AF and please, get the accent right, it's my personal pet peeve with the french hore stereotype (can we say Murmur ? and some writer wrote Aurora like this). And if you want expressions and all I can help too.

Yeah, I thought that story would rile-up you guys from Quebec. :) I agree that MCP #139 was pretty bad -- but that doesn't mean that Mr. Lobdell couldn't bring "Adahm" back and turn him into a respectable character (there are no inherently "bad" characters, after all, only bad writers!). He's like DC's Penguin with the powers of Marvel's Jean Grey -- what's not to like?! :) I mean, look at what Geoff Johns did with some of the cornier Silver Age Flash villains!
I could definitely see Adahm as part of a larger movement, perhaps teamed-up with Boussard and le Beaver! Well, maybe not "le Beaver" -- I don't think there's anything that can be done with him to make him more respectable (Howard the Duck foes rarely work well outside HOWARD THE DUCK comics)! Perhaps they could also somehow trick the feral Lynx in to helping their cause (yes, another Scott Lobdell creation who I'd love to see make a return in ALPHA FLIGHT!). I can already picture a stunning Clayton Henry 2-page Lynx spash page!
And speaking of all these Canadian villains in the Marvel Universe, who would like to see the return of the Ice Box (you know, the Canadian government's maximum security prison from MAVERICK (vol. II) #8 )?

I almost forgot how many non-ALPHA FLIGHT Canadians were running around there in the Marvel Universe!
