A Superhuman Registration Act was already a storyline in Alpha Flight volume one, Hal... All of Alpha is registered (including mutants). The program was started by Joshua Lord (the Master in disquise). It's implementation was far less violent than the US version and most super-powered citizens registered freely. Dana --Previous Message-- : Being Canadian, I was a little put back that : Omega Flight [or whatever they're called : now] had US heroes as members. Don't get me : wrong, I'm a huge marvel-maniac, but what : put AF apart from other comics was in that : AF did things their way, and it was mostly : done in Canada. I have heard many negative : things said about Canada in the US media, : but we have our own agenda, our own beliefs, : our own methods of doing things, and getting : things done. We are not the United States. : That is what made previous incarnations of : AF so great. I'd revamp, nay, reload AF, and : make them the powerhouse they could be, that : of being on par with any Avengers roster. : Canada has prided itself in being one of the : foremost peacekeeping countries in the : world, and I would introduce that aspect : into AF. I haven't followed Marvel much : lately, but I did read CIVIL WAR, and was : very impressed. I would have Canada utilize : a registration, but not to the : heavy-handedness exibited by Stark. In : Canada it is required to register any : firearm owned, and a superpowered human in : my opinion should be registered. Now mutants : on the other hand, they are born with their : gifts and would thereby not be inclined to : register their powers for their powers are a : part of them. This is a loop that I would : introduce into the Marvel Universe. This : would lead to alot of mutants possibly : fleeing into Canada seeking amnesty and : protection from prosecution, etc. I'd love a : crack at AF, but Marvel, and most other big : publishers don't want to give a poor ol' boy : from Nova Scotia Canada a chance. I'll have : to stick to indies and cartoon scripting I : guess. I hope whatever is done, Marvel finds : a creator[s] that not only have a passion : for the AF characters, but a passion for : Canada to boot [I had to add that]. Beauty, : eh....? : : Hal Hilden : Writer : : --Previous Message-- : Set them up against SHIELD and other world : forces, sort of a 'third way' of doing : things, not aligned so obviously with the US : heroes. Cheese off US Agent for one . : : :
