GUARDIAN
James Hudson was the driving force behind the creation of Alpha Flight and Department H, using his ambition and intelligence to create the agency responsible for defending Canada against superhuman threats both within and without. Presumed dead on more than one occasion, he has returned to serve as Alpha Flight Commander and head of Department H. He still retains his finest creation – the battlesuit which provides superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and the ability to generate and manipulate electromagnetic energy.
VINDICATOR
Heather MacNeil Hudson was a teenager when she met and married James Hudson, but over the years, she has risen to become the driving force of Alpha Flight, taking on the mantle of leadership after her husband was presumed dead. She has since stepped down from field work since the birth of her daughter, and now serves as the Alpha Flight Team Liaison. Her battlesuit, in addition to providing superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes, was modified to allow her to manipulate the Earth’s geothermal forces.
SASQUATCH
Walter Langkowski is one of Canada’s greatest scientific minds, and a mainstay of Alpha Flight since its inception. He has inhabited the body of the Box robot and even Snowbird before the Eskimo gods restored his true form. He possesses the ability to transform himself into the form of the legendary sasquatch, granting him enormous strength, speed, endurance, reflexes, senses, resistance to physical injury, and razor-sharp claws.
PUCK
Eugene Judd, despite being mystically afflicted with painful dwarfism, has become the heart and soul of Alpha Flight over the years and helped Heather take command of Alpha Flight after Guardian’s death. He has seen and done much in the many decades that he has been alive, and brings vast experience to Alpha Flight. He is superhumanly strong and agile, acrobatically gifted to an inhuman degree, and possesses fledgling knowledge in the mystical arts.
SNOWBIRD
Narya is the result of the union of a relatively ordinary man and the great goddess Nelvanna, created for the sole purpose of defending Canada from the threat of the Great Beasts that would ravage the world if left unchecked. In addition to superhuman strength, flight, and the ability to shapeshift into any Arctic animal, she possesses limited precognition and postcognition and can compel others to aid her against the Great Beasts. However, her lifeforce is bound to Canada, and she cannot long stay away.
BOX
Suffering from post-traumatic stress, Madison Jeffries’ ability to psionically manipulate metal, glass and plastic went out of control. He was captured and James Hudson recruited him into Department H, where he was a committed member of Alpha Flight up until he was abducted by the Zodiac. Now rescued from their clutches, Jeffries has once again returned to Department H and Alpha Flight.
DIAMOND LIL
Lillian Crawley is a mutant whose skin is as hard as a diamond. Once a member of the villainous Omega Flight, she reformed and brought her rough persona and fiery spirit to Alpha Flight. Married to fellow Alphan Madison Jeffries, she remains with the team to watch over her husband.
SHAMAN
Discovering a gift left by his grandfather, Michael Twoyoungmen became the fourteenth Sacree Shaman to serve his people. Blessed with the ability to draw magical items from his mystic pouch, Shaman became one of the first recruits into James Hudson’s Alpha Flight, serving as a mystical advisor and close friend. Recently, he was promoted as the Director of Department H.
