Yeah, Alpha Flight has always been a good team.
People just treat them like second rate X-characters because they were kinda introduced in the X-mens' book.
However, aside from that they are pretty much unrelated to the X-men. The only major connection is the Wolverine one, and that really isn't a connection at all.

Tottally agree, and they were introduced first in Uncanny X-Men. They developed such a huge cult following it resulted them getting their own series.
I just posted some badass scans of Sasquatch and Shaman in the respect thread.🙂
I liked it when writers sold titles by using merit and skill. Now Bendis just rests on his laurels, turning out hackneyed bile each and every month.
I'm glad he's leaving Daredevil and I hope his Spider-Woman title tanks. "But I'm Bendis! How could it not sell! I'm Bendis! I'm magic! Bendis! *cries*"
Hmmmm...some members may actaully end up in West Coast Avengers

"NRAMA: "Gamma Duck" - With the team itself getting a mention in Millar's interview in Wizard and your comments this past Friday of a "not-necessarily-the-West-Coast-Avengers" team potentially in the works, is it possible that we'll be seeing a new Champions team made up of the former Avengers who didn't make the cut in Bendis' book, as well as some (hopefully) other non-Avengers characters?
JQ- Gamma Duck, let me just say that the name Champions has been getting thrown around as of late in the Marvel offices. So let me just leave it at that."

It's the "Collective" that Alpha is facing, after it has crashed to earth. It being the combined energy/powers of all the de-powered mutants...It looks like AF are in big trouble. F you Bendis
