==Other versions== ===Marvel Adventures=== In issue #11 of ''[[Marvel Adventures]] [[Iron Man]]'', Tony Stark travels to Nunavut to try to find his father Howard. As he is flying through a series of mountains, he is attacked by Alpha Flight after Northstar and Aurora mistake him for a training robot built by Guardian. After the real drone appears, Sasquatch and Guardian make some hasty apologies before Iron Man continues on his mission. Later in the issue, Alpha Flight aids Iron Man in a battle against the [[Living Laser]]. ===Marvel Zombies=== A [[Marvel Zombies|zombified version]] of Alpha Flight (consisting of Guardian, Northstar, Aurora, Sasquatch, Puck, and Snowbird) appeared in the first issue of ''[[Marvel Zombies: Dead Days]]'', attacking the X-Men at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, and killing [[Professor X]] in the process. They are later killed by [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]], who uses his powers to make various metallic objects pierce their brains. ===Old Man Logan=== In ''Old Man Logan'' vol. 2 #17, [[Old Man Logan|Logan]] is shown a vision of the dead Alpha Flight (consisting of Guardian, Northstar, Aurora, Sasquatch, Puck and Snowbird) by [[Jean Grey|a young Jean Grey]]. ===Ultimate Marvel=== In the ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' reality, Alpha Flight debuted in ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'' #94 with [[Vindicator (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Vindicator]] (formally [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Col. John Wraith]] of [[Weapon X#Ultimate Marvel|Weapon X]]), [[Shaman (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Shaman]] ([[Thunderbird (John Proudstar)#Ultimate Marvel|John Proudstar]]), [[Jubilee (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Jubilee]], [[Sunfire (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Sunfire]], [[Sasquatch (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Sasquatch]] ([[Wolfsbane (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Rahne Sinclair]]), [[Snowbird (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Snowbird]] ([[Danielle Moonstar#Ultimate Marvel|Danielle Moonstar]]), and [[Aurora (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Aurora]]. The team ambushes the X-Men in the middle of a friendly [[baseball]] game. All of its members appear to use godlike powers; they easily defeat the X-Men and kidnap [[Northstar (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Northstar]]. It is later revealed by Wolverine, who apparently has a history with them, that they used a drug called "[[Banshee (character)|Banshee]]" to enhance their abilities, making them more powerful than normal mutants. Vindicator claims that Alpha Flight is the first internationally sanctioned mutant team made powerful enough to take on any "considerable" threats such as the [[Masters of Evil#Ultimate Marvel|Liberators]], the [[Brotherhood of Mutants#Ultimate Marvel|Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy]], and the [[Ultimates]], as Vindicator sees the latter as loyal only to America and Alpha Flight to the world. They are defeated by [[Colossus (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Colossus]]'s team of X-Men who were also being powered by Banshee.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #94</ref> ===What If?=== Alpha Flight was featured in the different "[[What If (comics)|What If?]]" stories: * In "What If The All-New All-Different X-Men Had Never Existed," Wolverine is shown to be the leader of Alpha Flight when they are loaned to the Japanese government who needed help dealing with Moses Magnum when the Japanese government was unable to reach the Avengers. Both Alpha Flight and the X-Men defeated Moses Magnum.<ref>''What If?'' vol. 2 #23. Marvel Comics.</ref> * In "What If Wolverine Was Leader Of Alpha Flight?", the team succeeded in capturing Logan after their fight with the X-Men. In this reality, Logan did not escape from Canadian custody and slip aboard the X-Men's plane. The team chose to turn back around and mount a rescue. The military called Department H to get them to talk the X-Men out of it before the military handled it. Northstar was on monitor duty and chose not to respond. The military then shot the X-Men down- none of them survived the crash. Hudson told Logan face to face with nobody between them, half expecting Logan to kill him. Instead, he told Hudson that since his new family was dead, he had nothing left but to stay with Alpha Flight. He immediately led a mission into the Negative Zone to rescue their Beta and Gamma Flight trainees Puck, Marrina, Smart Alec, Wild Child, Flashback and Box, who had been kidnapped by Annihilus during an experiment by Department H scientists to open doorways to other dimensions. Hudson couldn't lead the rescue mission as Vindicator- he had to stay behind and operate the machinery that controlled the Negative Zone gateway. Wolverine led Shaman, Northstar, Aurora, Sasquatch and Snowbird in, and not only rescued their people, but negotiated peace with Annihilus. He taught Wild Child to control his savagery and got the team to bond better than Hudson ever could, but Northstar was always nervous around Wolverine because of what he did. Hudson knew what would happen if Logan ever learned about Northstar's role in the X-Men's deaths. Their worst fear happened when Professor X and the surviving X-Men (Iceman, Havok, Beast, Angel) called for help. The Hellfire Club had captured them all and transformed Jean Gray into Dark Phoenix. Alpha Flight rescued them, but Dark Phoenix telepathically showed Wolverine what Northstar did. She tried to get him to kill Northstar, but he killed her instead to free her from the curse of Dark Phoenix. Hudson expected Logan to quit the team, but Logan surprised him by forgiving Northstar and agreeing to stay on as leader of Alpha Flight.<ref>''What If?'' vol. 2 #59. Marvel Comics.</ref> * In "What if... Wolverine had battled [[Weapon X]]?", the Flight members were in the middle of their training when Guy Desjardins (Weapon X) breaks free after the eponymous program left Desjardins in the hands of Department H.
