Editing Alpha Flight (section)

===Volume 2===
In 1997, Marvel relaunched the series with different characters. The new additions to the roster included:

* [[Flex (comics)|Flex]]: Adrian Corbo is a mutant with the ability to transform his limbs into sharp weapons. He is the half-brother of Radius.
* [[Manbot]]: Bernie Lechenay is a human/Box robot cyborg.
* [[Murmur (Marvel Comics)|Murmur]]: Arlette Truffaut is a young mutant from [[Quebec City]], [[Quebec]] with powers of mind-control and teleportation.
* [[Radius (comics)|Radius]]: Jared Corbo is a mutant with the ability to create a force field.
* General Clarke: The sinister new director of [[Department H]], responsible for many of the dark plots surrounding the team. Gains some measure of redemption with his sacrifice in issue #12.

Returning members were [[Vindicator (comics)|Vindicator]] (Heather Hudson, with a new costume and new geothermal powers), a de-aged Guardian (who turned out to be a clone of the original James Hudson, set at age 19), and [[Puck (Marvel Comics)|Puck]]. [[Sunfire (comics)|Sunfire]] was also briefly a member while looking for a cure to a crippling illness.

The focus of this series was on Department H's consistently hidden agenda and Alpha Flight's reluctance to comply thereto. The conspiracy plotline saw Department H allowing an incarnation of the Zodiac Cartel to kidnap Madison Jeffries, who was subsequently brainwashed into becoming the group's "Gemini". To keep the group from interfering with their "deal", Department H brainwashed the team into forgetting Jeffries' kidnapping. Also, Department H employed an actual sasquatch as the new team's version of Sasquatch, without telling the team that it was not Walter Langkowski. Department H also arranged the kidnapping of Diamond Lil, another former Alpha Flight member and Madison Jeffries' wife, when she began to inquire about the location of her husband, with the intent of using her as a test subject for illegal medical experiments.

The series ended with issue #20 with most of the major storylines, such as the identity of the younger version of Guardian, unresolved, until ''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #142-143, when the plotline was resolved with the return of the real Guardian and the heroic sacrifice of the clone version.
