"Fighting alien pants" is the best descriptor of the symbiont that I've heard.

Is that first panel supposed to be some sort of mid-transformation pose, or does her face always look like that?

FredMSloniker posted:Is that first panel supposed to be some sort of mid-transformation pose, or does her face always look like that? Mid-transformation. Snowbirds powers were always kinda lame (fitting for Alpha Flight). "Oh, no! She can turn into any arctic animal! How will we ever face off against a snow fox? Guess I'll just use my eye lasers/total control over the weather/indestructible metal hide/cut-trough-anything-claws..." Until she could turn into a white Sasquatch she was dead weight along with Puck. At least Puck was cool.

Knows Wolverine

He was also, IIRC, preternaturally tough; there was something about him being a seven foot tall dude compressed to a smaller form (because he had a demon living inside him) that made him more dense, or some nonsense like that. Oh, and he was a living prison for a demon. That too, I guess.

The demon part is supposed to make the name more a Shakespeare thing than 'lol canada amirite', I think.

I think there was byrne/mantlo fight where Byrne wanted him to be this mischievous/tortured soul inspired by Midsummer Night, but Mantlo turned him into a living hockey puck. That type of tension is how you create a classic cult character, IMO. I love Puck

Puck is like the character everyone agrees to not use in Goldeneye because his hitbox is broken.

Puck rules, and I loved the weird disparities in power-level that the original Alpha Flight had. They were all, in a certain sense, redundant-- Sasquatch was just another strong/smart guy, Vindicator was another guy in power-suit except his was more liable to melt him, Marrina was a weaker Namor who might maul you out of nowhere, Box was a lovely Iron Man, Smart Alec was a lovely, I don't know, Wingless Wizard, etc. etc.. I liked that rather than the requisite non-powered athlete guy being generically good at fighting (like Captain America or Black Widow) or specialized in one weapon (like Hawkeye) he was very focused on being little and gnarly and doing sick flips. I want to see a one-shot where he pals around with Batroc and they show off their fancy leaps to each other.

The bolding in the "I" in that word balloon makes me think he's just responding dramatically to someone asking "Does anyone know a gay person?"

According to Wikipedia, he found a random baby in an alley, adopted it, and then it died of AIDs, so he came out to raise awareness. I have no idea why he's jumping, although if dramatic proclamations while leaping through the air was a gay stereotype, I wanna reclaim it.

That somehow manages to make even less sense than the Elf With A Gun killer, and that was intentionally random.

I always thought Alpha Flight was the most garbage of garbage teams, but now I realize that they're secretly the Order of the Stick and Puck is Belkar.
