    Default Does Transonic render Northstar obsolete? Should she replace him in Alpha Flight?

    Both Canadian, both super fast, both mutants.

    Transonic Pros
    Has sat her SATs
    Will probably be retconned as being related to Raven Darkholme
    might go crazy and shoot everyone

    Transonic cons
    tbd

    Northstar Pros
    Cool terrorist background
    Has been drawn by John Byrne
    ♬diversity♬

    Northstar cons
    usually written like a stereotype
    Dazzler enabler
    Got Fairy AIDS


    I've added a poll on a non related matter.

    Is the "Transonic is a mermaid" bit wearing thinner than the "stormbot" bit?

    I vote in favour of the one that doesn't hang out with Dazzler.

    The only thing to love about Lady Mastermind is seeing her take Sage's psychic bullet to the cerebral cortex.

    Stormbot and Transonic should both go hang out with that defunct team.

    I never read most of Alpha Flight. I remember Marrina and her eggs and that quadrapalegic with his eczema covered stumps. That's it.

    I would buy a Byrne Alpha Flight Omnibus. Remember that guy Northstar was "friends" with in one of the early issues? He was at least 50+ years old.

    The original Box. He was a much better character than Mad Jeff but after Byrne left the new writer turned him into an evil twat who was obsessed with Aurora and seething with self hatred because she preferred men with legs.

    I just can't get into Byrne's storytelling. I never got past the first bunch of Next Men issues. He should just do porn. Maybe finish Worldwatch with Chuck Austen.

    No. She's a Mermaid. That is special and wonderful.

    I really thought people would have been getting fed up of Stormbot.
