I'm so sad that Wiz Kid is the traitor

It's unexpected but also I liked them before I found out they were a traitor to their people working for Adolf here

I also find Gyrich's deranged frothing at the mouth "THE FOREIGNERS ARE COMING TO EAT OUR BABIES" rant here so funny because every word he says just makes me think more and more that Krakoa specifically and mutantkind in general are my kind of heroes so the fact that his little Boot Boy here is gobbling this bullshit up just confirms to me that there's a good reason Alpha Flight were only ever the greatest hero team of Canada

Which is a bit like being the smartest person at the RNC or the least racist person at a Lovecraft fan convention

It's a dubious honor at best

I was just being snarky there mostly

But you have to admit apart from Northstar, Aurora and Puck the rest of Alpha Flight are kind of terrible. And the Canadian government in the Marvel universe is even more corrupt, racist and awful than the Canadian government is in real life

And working for a fascist who is himself working for even worse fascists isn't gonna improve their image

Not really relevant to the pages here, but I'm not even angry the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard got their shit wrecked by the Lethal Legion. The Shi'Ar are a bunch of child-murdering scumbags and deserve everything they get.

... #NotAllShiar? I'm sure some of the Guard are perfectly decent beings... who will undoubtedly be replaced by exact duplicates from their homeworlds anyway. I mean, how many Fangs have there been again? 4? 5?

I'm more upset over the implication that Wiz Kid is the mole. I'm still hoping for another swerve that reveals Brand or someone was playing an even longer game.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised to see Fang be the first one to cop it. It seems their only job is to die.

Given the powers Fang exhibited in Wolverines decapitation wouldn't even be lethal.

But the new Lethal Legion - they're Marvel-fied versions of the Fatal Five! Half-Bot is Tharok, Mr. Eloquent is The Persuader, Electric Head is Validus, Orbis Extremis is Emerald Empress (and the Eye of Ekron) and Death Grip is Manos!

Legion of Super-Hero expies being defeated by Fatal Five expies is perfect!

Yeah, no way Wiz Kid is an actual traitor. He's working for Brand or somebody else who has a plan.
I'm more concerned about Guardian. I'd like to think he is also faking, but he is more sacrifiable than Wiz KId.

Brand is just the sort of paranoiac to give ORCHIS a triple agent. Gyrich gets a false sense of security, SWORD gets info on ORCHIS, and Gyrich gets to discover why it's a bad idea to let a powerful technopath get near your systems.

Guardian, though, is just the sort of moron to listen to even Gyrich.

I would love that

I really hope you are right and Wiz Kid is a triple agent and Brand has been playing Gyrich and his pathetic operation this whole time

Wiz-Kid, you bastard!
... but at least it's not Peepers. I was worried there for a while.
(And, like others have said, if Brand didn't see this coming and plan for it, that'd be surprising.
I mean, for one thing, she's standing right there.)

I would say that Guardian is being a putz here, but this is a guy whose reaction to his best friend quitting was to make a suit of power armour, hunt him down and try to beat him up.
Guardian does not make sensible decisions. Ever.

Guardian has always been a bit of a schmuck and a patsy, so I'm not surprised to see him make the wrong call with Orchis.

I mean, he's definitely on the "shoulda stayed dead" list for sure.

And when I look at Guardian's history...

Dies fighting Omega Flight.
Comes back through some complicated bullshit involving aliens and time travel.

"Dies" fighting Galactus.
Returns involving some complicated bullshit involving an alternate dimension and the Master of the World.

Is cloned by Department H.
Clone dies fighting AIM.

Heads off to the Plodex homeworld to repopulate it and stuff.
Is yoinked from the past into the present through magical bullshit.

Dies fighting the Collective.
Returns following some complicated bullshit involving the Chaos War.

I mean seriously. This guy. No wonder he fell for Gyrich's line of bull--for all we know, this Hudson is a time-traveling magically-duplicated clone, while the original is kicking back in Baca Raton with a couple of nubile redheads.

I think Gyrich often raises valid concerns.

But also ... fuck that guy.

He's like a right wing fictional Michelle Moore.

From: [personal profile] starwolf_oakley
In Vol 1 of ALPHA FLIGHT during Bill Mantlo's run, Heather wondered if James MacDonald had something to do with Logan getting his metal skeleton. Bedlam explained, "No, Heather. You're wrong and also maybe paranoid."

Al Ewing might be going for "Just because James MacDonald was smart enough to build the Guardians armor *doesn't* mean he should be a superhero."

I think everything we've seen of him over the years is proof that he shouldn't be a superhero

Joining a racist science cult is just the cherry on top
