Title:
Alpha Flight (Vol. 1)
Synopsis:
A sixty-something retired Canadian super-hero (Canada’s first, in fact) known as Major Mapleleaf, sits alone at night in his bathrobe poring over a videotape of the press conference in which he announced his retirement several years prior. He freezes the image at a closeup of his infant son Michael, and collapses on the TV screen in anguish. At that moment in downtown Toronto, Mr. Hyde is seen battling members of Alpha Flight. Hyde strikes Northstar and sends him crashing into rows of garbage cans down an alley. To his shock, Northstar finds an abandoned newborn girl in one of those trash cans and immediately flees the scene. Mr. Hyde gloats briefly before being pounded into the ground by Sasquatch. The next day, Joanne dies in her adoptive father’s arms, even as he is held and comforted by Major Mapleleaf. Northstar announces his homosexuality publicly on the front page of the January 21, 1992 issue of Toronto’s The Daily Mail.
