nau way King, with civil war hinting at alpha flight coming back what members are actually alive that might be apart of it? Also did the collective in new avengers kill the real alpha flight of were those ones from another dimension?
No idea, and the ones that were in NA #16 was also temporal copies while the real and stronger team is still located in space with Earthmover and Guardian's daughter. Aurora, Northstar, Talisman, Windshear, Manbot, Murmur, Wildchild, Sunfire [yes he was a member], Madison Jeffries, Persuasion, etc. all still alive so they are in good shape if they actually use past members.

Their not all dead.....anyways if Vol.3 is canon this isn't even the real Alpha Flight. The real Alpha Flight is in space, while these are just temporal copies.

-- There seems to be a lot of deaths in these Decimation arcs and so forth, Mr. Marts. Were the deaths of the Greys, the entirety of Alpha Flight, Banshee, Tag (with the other depowered students), etc. editorially mandated or did each author just decide to kill someone randomly? Will this trend continue?Mike Marts -- The recent deaths weren’t editorially mandated…they more or less corresponded to the needs of the stories and the characters involved in those stories. Also—please know that all of Alpha Flight haven’t actually died.

I recently had an oportunity to disicuss the buzz around Alpha Flight with Mark Millar. Which him writing Civil War, and having an interest already in Alpha Flight characters, I was curious how he might be involved in future AF events.
AlphaFlight.net: Hello Mark. Because of the news Joe Quesada just gave regarding the possibility of a new Alpha Flight series in the works, I'm curious if you might be involved. I know in your last interview with me you mentioned a possibility of you using the Alpha Flight characters down the road. Otherwise if you aren't connected to it, I'm curious if you've heard any buzz about it in the Marvel grapevine.
Mark Millar: Nice to hear from you again, mate. Yes, I'm really using Marvel Civil War as a means of re-establishing some of the greatest, sadly missing characters from the MU. I'm very old school, despite being only thirty-six, and put this down to reading Marvel UK reprints as a kid instead of the books you guys were reading in the 80s and 90s. Thus, the period I have the biggest affection for really runs from Stan and Jack up to classic John Byrne. I'm reading all the Byrne FFs right now and loving them to pieces. I just love the Alpha Flight stuff I'm reading too and plan to end MCW with the possibility of a very good, very high profile Alpha Flight book spinning out of the series. These are great characters and it's a great concept and I want it to be treated seriously or not at all. It's in Marvel's hands what happens after MCW, but they're very keen to bring back some of the old school magic we've been missing for a while and AF is right there on my list with several other characters.
AlphaFlight.net: Is doing an AF series something that you are hoping to do yourself, or do you just want to set them up to be available for someone else?
Mark Millar: Like all the other things I'm setting up in this book, there's just not enough hours in the day for me to write it myself, Ben. I've been finishing Civil War in my six months off and then, after that, I'm jumping into my new creator-owned books for a while.
AlphaFlight.net: I'm curious if you had anything to do with the events in New Avengers #16?
Mark Millar: No, but me, Brian, JMS and all the other writers have been in touch to make sure we're all marching in the same direction. All these events are very important to Civil War.

Also if Vol.3 is canon than the team in New Avengers #16 is a weaker version of the team and the REAL team is currently in space.

Well the temporal copies were sent to the present for a reason, maybe this was it. So if vol.3 is canon the stronger Alpha Flight is still in space, since the temporal copies were taken from a time before most of them got their major upgrades in power.
