What Do YOU Want From Alpha Flight?

[SmurfInABlender]

Freg brought us some great stuff from Alpha Flight's History. They have kept the original team together with a twist. Now that they have succeeded and gained the trust of fans, I'd like to see them add more of their own flare. Maybe introduce a new character or two into a new Beta flight, perhaps create a new, strong, Alpha Flight-centric villain. I'd like to see them take liberties with flight now that they have worked with the foundation.

One thing Geoff Johns is so good at is taking a character back to his roots, building upon the foundation that made them great and then playing with that mythos going forward. If "Freg" have built the solid foundation on the original team, which they have, then now is the time to play around with the mythos and take liberties. Put their mark on them.

i agree. they should create a new villain and who knows maybe that is what they are doing now.

but i would also like them to do team ups with other marvel characters but not the big names. alpha flight for some odd reason as always been an outcast in the marvel universe. they should build on that and bring other outcast into the fold. i would love to see a crossover with the G.L.Xmen or what ever they are going by now, that would also open the door for my suggestion earlier with squirrel girl and sasquatch. or maybe bring generation x or the new mutants over. moon knight would be cool or even the punisher. why does it normally (not always) have to be the x-men or the avengers crossing over?

Do the Avengers of X-men need a passport to "cross over" to Canada? Would we send planes to escort them over if they don't identify themselves? They probably have a Nexxus card right...

lol that's a good point. by law now they should need a passport.

and as for heather being a villain, i agree they gave us a new villain. but i think it would be nice to see their creative side and have a completely new character. alpha never really had a nemesis per-say. the x-men have magneto, the fantastic 4 have dr. doom, and the avengers have ultron. but alpha never had one. you could argue the master but i don't see it. they need an-anti canadian who hates everything they stand for and pops in and out of stories and sends other to kill them.

Actually, I believe this creative team could take the Master and turn him into a real threat, similar to what Dr. Doom is to the FF.
He's a genius, he's practically immortal (at the very least, he's extremely hard to kill), he has alien technology at his disposal... there's a lot of potential there. He could be much more manipulative and menacing.

i agree. i finally got 0.1 and 3 yesterday and read them both. the team working on alpha flight now might be the best ever. the story is so gripping and they could do wonders with the master. i still would like to see what they could create to. and they should have tygerstryke come in somewhere. the whole p.r.i.m.e. team would be cool but at least tygerstryke

I've been waiting for a writer to do this for awhile. The Master, even more than Doom, should be a villain to fear. He has advanced, alien tech; immense patience; utterly ruthless and uncaring; is essentially immortal and combines aspects of Mr. Sinister (genetic science), Dr. Doom (technological science, and advanced armour) and Apocalypse (long lived, patient, planner). This is a guy who recreated a mutant's powers from a few bits of random genetic material he captured after said mutant was dead, and used it to reshape himself into a perfect human specimen by will alone. Heroes should be terrified to go up against this guy, not laugh at him.

Didn't they sort of do that by making Heather a villain? I understand she might be under the influence of something/someone but I doubt there is any turning back at this point...
