What members of either Alpha, Beta, Gamma or Omega Flight do you think would make great X-men?

No matter whether they are mutants or not.

Here are some of them:

Aurora
Diamond Lil
Flex II
Feedback
Ghost Girl
Heather Hudson (Don't know what suit/name she's usuing currently)
James Hudson (Ditto)
Madison Jefferies (Box IV)
Manikin
Persuasion
Puck
Radius
Sasquatch
Shaman
Snowbird
Windshear
Witchfire

Or any others you can think of.

Radius might work.

I'd like to see Puck there, for light relief, at some point.

Your right, according to Uncannyxmen.net he died when Avalanche buried him. Forgot about that.

Wait, here's a thought, so if he was buried, then I presume he produced his froce field before he was actually stuck, surely then he'd be able to dig himself out. I doubt he was crushed due to his FF.

I'd like to see Puck and Sasquatch from the classic team somewhere in the MU.

And I have to admit, I kinda like Puck II, Major Mapleleaf and Centennial from the new lame team aswell.

What?

She seemed to be "de-aged" to a teenager in Weapon X.

I always liked Witchfire -- thought that character was underused.

Also, I like Wild Child, but with the mask on, when he was Weapon Omega. (Geez, it's been so long. I think he was Weapon Omega, anyway....)

The Pucks and Snowbird too!

Nice pick, Ryan. I'd like to see Aurora come over, she'd be my first choice

Snowbird might be interesting, now she can use her powers outside of Canada

Shaman would be a cool ally

and Heather Hudson should have been brought over years ago!

btw was it ever revealed who Flex's father was?

In any case, I'd rather just have the Alpha Flight members be Alpha Flight members in order for them to establish their own identity. Alpha Flight, in my eyes, is still an X-Men book, but they are Alphans, not X-Men. I suppose Northstar can stay in the X-Men, unless if a new (and successful) Alpha Flight book is launched. Seems highly unlikely, though, thanks to Bendis. :mad:

Alpha Flight's team are not an X-men book, but they got stuck that way. There are many members of AF that were mutants (or still are) and many would fit nicely amungst the X-men.

Of course many non-mutant characters might not fit as well.

Not in the list, but I think Earthmover is a great character for the X-teams. Also Windsear (The black-guy) who wasn't used much will do for me.

Windshear is a cool character. He is powerful if people know how to use him.

shame he's now depowered...infact he had a business based on his powers in London...he made hard-air things and sold them. He's gotta be out of busniess now.

a guy with a personal forcefield dies of gettin buried? Nope I don't buy it Fishtaco. You can if you'd like, but there was never a body and never a funeral, so nope, he's not dead. and Flex's age wasn't put at a Number, but he was shown to be SIGNIFICANTLY younger than the rest of the team. I'd put him in his late teens. Same as I'd put X-23.

He left an Orphanage when he was adopted by the government but I doubt they would have adopted him when his powers didn;t work fully, I think by now he'd be 18 or 19. Ditto with Ghost Girl.

Aurora: If they do a story with Northstar as the antagonist, it would be interesting to have her with the X-men.
Diamond Lil: If we ever need another Colossus replacement.
Madison Jefferies (Box IV): I like him a lot, but I think he would probably dominate the rest of the team too much with his powers.
Manikin: Very interesting character, but I don't think he would fit in with the X-men. Maybe X-factor or Exiles.
Persuasion: Most of the stories they could do with her, they now can do with Wallflower, so I don't see much use in bringing her over from Canada.
Windshear: My favourite choice of the ones suggested. Useful power, but not too overpowering so it can fit in nicely with the rest of the team, likeable character with enough different angles to tell stories.
Witchfire: If they do a story including Ilyana, Amanda or maybe Kitty and Colossus.

Persuasion has a od place in the MU at the moment. Part of the remaining AF. Last of the many mutants in the world and daughter of Purple Man.

She could have an odd relationship with Jess Jones and Luke Cage.

i think i really want Shaman to join the X-Men. They're lacking in a mystic character at the moment, and a native american character. And he's the only member of the John Byrne X-Men who never really got any "play". I realize he just died in the New Avengers thing... but nothing lasts forever. :)

Put this guy on an X-Team! Stat!

Goblyn and Pathway were supposed to have been kids (despite being made to look older by one of the artists) when they joined Beta Flight, so we might be able to put them in New X-Men.

Always been a Puck fan myself and would love to see him as a member of the X-men.

Yes I know he's not a mutant, but for some reason I could see Logan asking him to be a member because Eugene is a friend he can trust to look over some of the younger X-men and plus there seems to be a rule that every team must have a short, hairy, Canadian on the team. :D

I vote for Puck! Always liked the little guy. Heck, even when he lost the demon for all of an issue or two and grew i still liked him... oh, wait, no I didn't. I like him short. :D

Actually, I made a thread over in the Civil War section that had to do with Alpha Flight. It was basically about what heroes would you like to see on a new team since it was mentioned in the New Avengers letters page "Canada is going to be knee-deep in super heroes before you know it."

You can find it here. (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=116554)

What was Diamond lil's power? Diamond hard skin or something? Can't Emma Frost do that?

Well, yeah.

but Emma turns to diamond, and so has a flaw. Diamond lil is just diamond hard. no flaws, or weakness, just hard.

And Diamond lil had her powers first.

Her skin, hair, everything on the exterior is diamond hard.

It was a joke about Emma getting diamond-hard skin to serve as Colossus replacement. (Besides Lil has repeatedly displayed superhuman strength in the pages of Alpha Flight.)
