Line 16:
* Box, a [[Humongous Mecha|robot suit of armor that could carry its pilot inside]] (and thus a 'box'.)
* Marina, a [[Cute Monster Girl|humanoid fish-girl]] that was raised by humans.
* Puck, a [[Small Person]] and [[Badass Normal]] (named after Shakespeare's character -- althoughcharacter—although he's small, fast, and hard, so hockey comes to mind as well).
 
The original team's dead members were resurrected during 2010-11's ''Chaos War'', and the reunited team has an eight-part maxiseries in 2011-12, tying into Marvel's ''Fear Itself'' event. It was boosted to be an ongoing, but Marvel pushed it back to an eight-parter after sales dropped off.
Line 46:
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: The entire classic team had just been resurrected plus the two most beloved members of the third series before The Collective killed them in one panel.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: In the new Alpha Flight book, Kara Killgrave pulled one and now calls herself Purple Woman. Like Father like daughter.
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Alpha Flight's members and enemies were always a blend of [[Badass Normal|Badass Normals]]s, [[Mutants]], aliens, robots, magical beings, and so on. There ''were'' times when the team's membership was mostly mutants and its enemies mostly magical, but it was always an interesting blend.
* [[Fish People]]: Marrina the poor little fish girl.
* [[Flanderization]]: Ever since joining the X-Men, Northstar has been portrayed as arrogant and snobbish, completely ignoring years of character development over the course of ''Alpha Flight'' where he actually became a likable team player.
