| |
| − | Formerly Canada’s mutant response force, Alpha Flight was disbanded by the order of [[Malcolm Colcord| Director Colcord]] in 2005. In 2006, the Alpha Flight program was reactivated, with a goal of three full teams in operation by 2009.

| − | ===Alpha Flight===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alpha Flight was originally the idea of James Hudson, a final extension of his Flight program of mutant registration and training. He saw it as a mixed group of mutant and human specialists, supported by advanced or esoteric technology and developments from various [[Department H]] programs, designed to respond to strange or preternatural events. Hudson and his wife Heather had worked on the program for years, trying to convince both the Director of Department H and the Canadian Defense Ministry. It was only after the success of the Flight program in general that they reluctantly agreed to fund a test initiative of the Alpha level.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alpha Flight was formed, using the best of the Beta Flight graduates they could find. The original team was dispatched in several missions, mainly natural disasters where their powers could lend powerful assistance to local authorities, or mutant related crisis. While the group generally garnered positive media coverage and a record of success, there were serious flaws in the design. Most of the small team did not come from a military or police background, and their training in direct combat situations was badly lacking.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Following the [[X2| events of Liberty Island]], there was a strong call to create a group that could actively respond to a threat like [[Magneto]], and the current group was unable to confidently make that claim. While their operational prowess was highly increased by the inclusion of former X-Men Wolverine and Rogue, the obvious limitations had become apparent to all, especially with the active efforts of Department H’s Director, [[Malcolm Colcord]], to undermine their group. Colcord wanted more control over any kind of active group of operatives, in case they compromise his secret initiatives accidentally.
| + | {{Phase2}} |
| | | | |
| − | Alpha Flight was finally disbanded in late 2005, and their personnel transferred to other programs in Department H. However, Heather Hudson continued to stress the need for a program which could serve the needs that Alpha Flight was supposed to address. In mid-2006, both MacDonald and Colcord agreed to revisit the Alpha Flight program under a new structure and design, focusing on developing answers to the prior shortcomings and sending Garrison Kane to study the operations of the only successful example of that type of team, the X-Men.
| + | The Flight Program - including the never-instituted Alpha Flight - is overseen by the Hudsons, scientists and mutant specialists working for the Canadian Government. |
| − | | |
| − | The goal is to have three teams in operation by the end of 2009, tasked to the military, the police, and to civil authorities respectively.

Logan heals at an extraordinary rate of speed. Cuts and scrapes disappear in seconds. Gunshot wounds, seconds to minutes. The more extensive the damage, the longer it takes to heal, but there is little save for total incineration or disintegration that can permanently put Logan down. As a side-benefit to his enhanced cellular regenerative rates, he has enhanced senses of smell and hearing and extreme longevity. As the result of the [[Weapon X]] experiment, Logan's skeleton is granted with [[adamantium]], a virtually unbreakable metal, and he has three foot-long claws granted along the bones in each forearm.

She does not have the ability to turn this power off and it automatically kicks in at the smallest contact. In general, she actively retains the power of the person she’s absorbed for 60 times longer than she was in contact. Further, Rogue absorbed the abilities of flight, superstrength and invulnerability permanently when she accidentally killed another mutant.

One of the major elements of Beta Flight is disaster relief in Canada. Still quite new, it maintains a database of powers and locations across the country, matching powers and locations to specific disasters. For example, when a forest fire gets out of control in BC, they look for Beta Flight mutants in the area who have applicable powers to assist. They get paid a small monthly stipend, like being in the National Guard or similar, and 99% of the time, just live normal lives. | + | Following the basic powers control training of Gamma Flight, young mutants are offered the chance to train and work with Beta Flight.

| |
| − | Lillian's husband, a robotocist working on the 'Box' program. Box was a Department H program which paralleled Mac Hudson's early design work in robotics. Headed by Roger Bochs, instead of an exosuit, they focused more on a larger design akin to power armor instead. The program did create a prototype, dubbed 'Box' in relation to his designer, but never worked properly until the arrival of Madison Jefferies. His powers interacted with the Box prototype in a manner which made the robot work at the level the designers had hoped.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Box has superhuman strength and durability. The Box armor also had the ability to fly and has a wide array of sensors and detecting equipment. Currently, only the prototype has been manufactured, and it only works when piloted by Jefferies, two limitations that the Box designers continue to work on. He has recently been approached to become a member of the new Alpha Flight team and has been seen [[Halflight| in the field]] with Puck. In [[August 2009]] during a disastrous [[Home and Native Land| first mission]] for the new team, Madison burned out the Box suit and nearly his own mind with it in an effort to get himself and his leader, Puck, to safety. He remains in a state of psychic shock, cared for by his wife, who returned from the States for that purpose.
