Omega Flight!!!!!

[CaptainCanada]

I thought in Civil War #7, in Reed's letter to Sue, he mentioned that some heroes are going to Canada "for a more old school career." (and it showed Omega Flight)
So I thought his comment meant that there was no registration in Canada and that is why some heroes are going there.
So what did that comment mean?

Probably an oversight.

Or Canada's way more relaxed about obeying the law.

 

[Duker Jay]

The actual laws might be somewhat different as well...

Just because they already have a Registration Act doesn't mean it's exactly same...or calls for the same time of enforcement.

There's no 10 Province (and 3 Territory) Initiative, right?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Guardian is a lot like Iron Man, since the powers come from the suit.

I'd say Box is more like Iron Man.

Yeah Canada's has had a registration Act since the 90's.

Oeming: "I have a scene I’m proud of where Talisman is freaking out over the problems that the Registration Act is causing—she says Canada has had a Registration Act for years and never once did they turn on one another over it like the Americans."

Not anymore, he generates his own power thanks to the Qwrlln augmenting him to battle Galactus. If Heather was on the team yeah she gets her powers from the suit.

That still irks me, using electromagnetic forces to take down someone who's suit doesn't use electromagnetic properties. You'd have to use...power cosmic forces.

They're a little more laid back in Alpha Flight than the Registration Avengers.

 

[Artistsean]

So heroes are going there to escape America's Registration act.
I would love to see more of that, some small names and some big names move to Canada.

Box's full power really comes from its user, the mutant Madison Jefferies.

Read Omega Flight.

 

[The Punisher]

edit.

 

[The Punisher]

Yeah, about them Omega Flight?

 

[Vanguard07]

It's a shame snowbird isnt on the team. I always found her to be the most impressive Flight member.

 

[King_Mungi]

Well, isn't it supposed to be a new guy in the Guardian suit for Omega Flight?

I really think so and if it's the Mailman he has his own powers. Yet an american wearing the Guardian suit ie. Canadian flag doesn't seem right.

I'd say Box is more like Iron Man.

Naaa...unless you mean Roger Bochs. As Madison Jeffries was Iron Man, Magneto and Forge rolled into one. He was a beast.

That still irks me, using electromagnetic forces to take down someone who's suit doesn't use electromagnetic properties. You'd have to use...power cosmic forces.

That were going to make him use the power cosmic when he was going to return, but that was around the same time of the cancellation of vol.1.

I agree, and now she is married to Yukon Jack...uuuuuh. Alpha Flight vol.3 was HORRIBLE.

Also I would love to see Windshear come back and have his powers.

 

[Vanguard07]

If I had snowbirds powers i'd just turn into wendigo, tanaraq or a pissload of mosquitos for every single battle.

Technically mortal Snowbird could transform into anyone or anything, while Immortal was restricted to Canada. She possibly could even become Hulk, but that doesn't matter when you can trasnform into Wendigo and especially Tanaraq.

good we hare(canada) not so bad after all and i have find this is very educatif


One US-American view of Canada

Short article by Samantha Bennett in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
(Wednesday, 30 July 30, 2003; © PG Publishing; contact: letters@post-gazette)

You live next door to a clean-cut, quiet guy. He never plays loud music or throws raucous parties. He doesn't gossip over the fence, just smiles politely and offers you some tomatoes. His lawn is cared-for, his house is neat as a pin and you get the feeling he doesn't always lock his front door. He wears Dockers. You hardly know he's there. And then one day you discover that he has pot in his basement, spends his weekends at peace marches and that guy you've seen mowing the yard is his spouse. Allow me to introduce Canada.

The Canadians are so quiet that you may have forgotten they're up there, but they've been busy doing some surprising things. It's like discovering that the mice you are dimly aware of in your attic have been building an espresso machine.

Did you realize, for example, that our reliable little tag-along brother never joined the Coalition of the Willing? Canada wasn't willing, as it turns out, to join the fun in Iraq. I can only assume American diner menus weren't angrily changed to include "freedom bacon", because nobody here eats the stuff anyway.

And then there's the wild drug situation: Canadian doctors are authorized to dispense medical marijuana. Parliament is considering legislation that would not exactly legalize marijuana possession, as you may have heard, but would reduce the penalty for possession of under 15 grams to a fine, like a speeding ticket. This is to allow law enforcement to concentrate resources on traffickers; if your garden is full of wasps, it's smarter to go for the nest rather than trying to swat every individual bug. Or, in the United States, bong.

Now, here's the part that I, as an American, can't understand. These poor benighted pinkos are doing everything wrong. They have a drug problem: Marijuana offences have doubled since 1991. And Canada has strict gun control laws, which means that the criminals must all be heavily armed, the law-abiding civilians helpless and the government on the verge of a massive confiscation campaign. (The laws have been in place since the '70s, but I'm sure the government will get around to the confiscation eventually.)

They don't even have a death penalty! And yet .. nationally, overall crime in Canada has been declining since 1991. Violent crimes fell 13 percent in 2002. Of course, there are still crimes committed with guns brought in from the United States, which has become the major illegal weapons supplier for all of North America -- but my theory is that the surge in pot-smoking has rendered most criminals too relaxed to commit violent crimes. They're probably more focused on shoplifting boxes of Twinkies from convenience stores.

And then there's the most reckless move of all: Just last month, Canada decided to allow and recognize same-sex marriages. Merciful moose, what can they be thinking? Will there be married Mounties (they always get their man!)? Dudley Do-Right was sweet on Nell, not Mel! We must be the only ones who really care about families. Not enough to make sure they all have health insurance, of course, but more than those libertines up north.

This sort of behavior is a clear and present danger to all our stereotypes about Canada. It's supposed to be a cold, wholesome country of polite, beer-drinking hockey players, not founded by freedom-fighters in a bloody revolution but quietly assembled by loyalists and royalists more interested in order and good government than liberty and independence.

But if we are the rugged individualists, why do we spend so much of our time trying to get everyone to march in lockstep? And if Canadians are so reserved and moderate, why are they so progressive about letting people do what they want to? Canadians are, as a nation, less religious than we are, according to polls. As a result, Canada's government isn't influenced by large, well-organized religious groups and thus has more in common with those of Scandinavia than those of the United States, or, say, Iran. Canada signed the Kyoto global warming treaty, lets 19-year-olds drink, has more of its population living in urban areas and accepts more immigrants per capita than the United States

These are all things we've been told will wreck our society. But I guess Canadians are different, because theirs seems oddly sound. Like teenagers, we fiercely idolize individual freedom but really demand that everyone be the same. But the Canadians seem more adult -- more secure. They aren't afraid of foreigners. They aren't afraid of homosexuality. Most of all, they're not afraid of each other.

I wonder if America will ever be that cool.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Um... hurray for Canada? What was the point of that?

 

[Artistsean]

I thought the Alpha Flight might just be about the team, but if they inlcude stuff like this (even a little) that would be cool.
I'll buy it anyway because Scott Kollins drawing it.

 

[Vanguard07]

LoL I love when our country occasionally gets noticed. It's entertaining on those few moments when America is actually paying attention.

 

[King_Mungi]

When are we going to get new news on the book?

 

[Darthphere]

What news do you need exactly? I mean, its like a month away, and theyre showing up this week in the initiative.

 

[King_Mungi]

Oh yeah I forgot about the Initiative coming out this week..woot.

 

[Anubis]

Assuming you wanna pay five bucks for a couple of pages on them of course.

 

[King_Mungi]

Yep, I'm that dedicated...*thinks about it*...to a team that hasn't even appeared yet

 

[King_Mungi]

Well Civil War: The Initiative came out today and we find out who is in the Guardian suit. None other than Micheal Pointer aka. The Collective. Blah!

See now that doesn't make any sense right there. That mailman made himself into a superhero? It's too convenient. If it's out of guilt that's not good enough. If he didn't have 'it' in him before, he won't have 'it' when the time comes.

 

[King_Mungi]

He is also the Canadian symbol for Alpha Flight, yet he isn't Canadian and he killed Alpha Flight....errr?
