Guardian Cameo in The Hunt For Wolverine One-Shot

He lives!

No, not Wolverine...We all knew that and I couldn't care any less anyway.

But while searching for something else altogether I found out that Mac is still around to some degree. Yeah, Alpha Flight is some sort of space defense team working with or for Captain Marvel but apparently a Canadian superhero team is still using that name as well.

In Hunt For Wolverine, a group called the Reavers travels to "Alberta, Canada" to attempt to recover Wolverine's adamantium-encased body to sell off. If there was an explanation as to how they knew about its location, I overlooked it (and don't care). Their appearance triggered some kind of alarm, the X-Men show up, defeat the Reavers and hand them over to the Canadian authorities in the form of Alpha Flight.


That is all as far as Guardian is converned. The X-Men's leader (I assume) is Kitty Pride at this point and she seeks out the help of Daredevil and Tony Stark to help find Wolverine. Storm is standing in front of one of, if not the, best friends Wolverine ever had, but let's not let him in on this. He's only died about four times himself. Let's ask Daredevil.

Ah well. It had seemed like Mac had blinked out of existence again in recent months so I'll take whatever crumbs I can find. Maybe it's for best that Mac wasn't around when Marvel went around replacing most of its characters with shitty, shallow replicas.

Speaking of replicas, Alpha Flight appears in the Champions book this month but, sadly, Guardian does not seem to be involved. Too bad.
