Wolverine #304 (2012) - Return of an Alpha Flight member

[-K-M-]

Well technically Sabretooth helped found Weapon X, so for a "villian" he has been on a lot of hero teams. For instance he also founded the X-Men and the Avengers...yeah, I'm not kidding.

Uhhh... buhh... bb-buhh...

(Also, I should know the guy with the heart over his chest... Dominic something? and I don't recognise the woman.)

Dominic Fortune and the woman is Namora.

Wut? Really? Was this in some of the early original stories, or just a bunch of later retconing to inflate his 'legend'? (which I am so over.)

And do they have to go and make him look all sexy? Stop it Marvel. I have a feral fetish but I do NOT want to be checking out Sabretooth! Gah! Still too roid-rage looking for me anyhow. Yep, just look at those heinous arm veins, and stop being atracted to that image. Ignore the long hair and remember the veiny muscles. All better now. Ew, gross, Sabretooth.

Having all been killed in the same flashback, I don't think we'll ever see anything of them again.

And that's what we thought of AF, too, after Mailman Mike came through. But Sasquatch survived, and James and some of the others came back later. Death is never final in the Marvel U.

Dominic Fortune and the woman is Namora.

Thanks! That makes sense.
(I kept thinking 'Dominic Fortune', but the second-guessing and thinking, 'No, he's in ClanDestine'... so what's Dominic's other last name in ClanDestine?)

Late retconing to inflate his 'legend'

And that's what we thought of AF, too, after Mailman Mike came through. But Sasquatch survived, and James and some of the others came back later. Death is never final in the Marvel U.

You're comparing this one-off characters to Alpha Flight? They were in like literally one panel and then were killed.

[Flightpath07]

Phil, it doesn't mean there won't be another flashback. Or that another writer in the future may take a stab at telling their story.

Sorry Phil, just went back, saw you originally said they'd not likely appear (except maybe in a flashback) again. My bad.

[-K-M-]

......Phil?

[EccentricSage]

God, maybe I shouldn't bother buying anything Marvel after all. Retconning SABRETOOTH onto all these hero teams? Realy? Please tell me it's part of Loeb's latest Romulus/Remus nonsense?! *crosses fingers* Then we literally can just assume it never really happened, like we do with everything 'revealed' in that story.

[-K-M-]

Sadly no, Loeb had nothing to do with those other stories.

[Flightpath07]

LOL. Never was good with names. I blame the new meds my doctor put me on!

Let's face it, if someone posts something that people disagree with it's usually me

I contentiously disagree with that!

Well, seriously, I've noticed that happens to you a lot, but I think the disagreement does get spread around a bit. People disagree with FP a lot, too!
(and me, and others...)
