While the X-Men have always been the world’s foremost team of mutant heroes, they are not the only one that the Marvel Universe has to offer. The Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight is now the world’s first superpowered line of defense against mutantkind, sanctioned by their own government to do so. However, it now appears that the team is merely playing the part until it is safe enough for them to actively assist the displaced mutants of Krakoa.In the wake of Orchis’ assault on Krakoa during the latest Hellfire Gala, mutantkind as a whole has been thrown into complete disarray. The rest of the world, on the other hand, is largely swept up in the newly stoked fears toward the mutants, who are once again facing genocide. As seen in Alpha Flight #1 (by Ed Brisson, Scott Godlewski, Matt Milla, Tom Muller, Jay Bowen and VC’s Travis Lanham), Canada’s super team has been enlisted to safeguard their country from the supposed threat that mutants now pose. Although none of the team’s most forward facing members are mutants themselves, plenty of their closest teammates over the years are, leading to a deep-seated resentment toward Alpha Flight’s current members. However, the end of the issue reveals that these heroes are not the traitors they appear to be.Introduced back in 1979’s X-Men #120 (by Chris Claremont and John Byrne), Alpha Flight was the brainchild of James Hudson, former engineer turned cybernetic super-soldier and original team leader, Guardian. In response to Hudson’s technology making its way into the hands of the United States government, he took the lead of Canada’s then newly created Department H. After enlisting the likes of Snowbird, Sasquatch, and even Wolverine, Hudson was ready to unveil his team to the world, although doing so initially ended in disaster.RELATED: Spider-Man: A Classic Villain’s Personal Hell Could Be The X-Men’s SalvationRELATED: Spider-Man Shows How Far the Hellfire Gala Disaster’s Damage Goes
