And the Lobdell version was sooo bad that we all pretend it never happened, right?
Was that the one with the old man and the sword that could send you back in time?
Because if so, god yes... that was awful.

The original Alpha Flight with the classics like Guardian, Puck, Sasquatch, etc is a B-list team.
Most of the revamps, expesically Lobdell, have sucked and are, thankfully, C-List. Like the team where they replaced Guardian with his teenage self, just because the Avengers had replaced Tony Stark with a teenage version. God those storylines sucked. I believe this version was written by Steven Seagle, who was way cooler when he used his pony tail to fight terrorists on submarines.
Wow, somebody finally managed to post an obscure character from the big 2 that I didnt know about already. Now that I've seen Tiger Man, I must own it.
That cover looks about 30 seconds away from a really poorly scripted and potentially disturbing pr0no. The cameraman even forgot to take the lighting guy out of the scene.
Toad looks pretty cool these days. What list is he on? With the right writer and artist, Toad could star in a very kinetic book. Toad vs Batroc in a battle across the skylines of Paris or something. Parkour and kung fu and knees to the face and British wisecracks that noone will understand!

The dude that played Toad in X-men and Darth Maul is gonna be Danny Rand.
If the movie is ever made, yeah. Hell, Nick Cage tried for something like 8 years to be Ghost Rider and it is finally happening. I guess anything can happen. I seriously remember sitting in some lobby somewhere, watching TV while waiting for my at the time new girlfriend to get her ear examined or something and seeing Nick talking to Regis about Ghost Rider. Regis was trying really hard to look like he had some idea what Nick was talking about, and coming off as a total asshole, just like usual. This was probably close to five years ago, and Nick was talking about how he had been trying for years to get this movie made back then. In summary, Nick has been trying to be Ghost Rider for a period of time greater than the average life span of a canine.
I just want a Luke Cage movie, damn it. If it has to be a Hero-For-Hire buddy flick with Luke and Fist, that would be acceptable. As long as they get rid of Tyrese.

Does he still have his 70's fro and sunglasses? Because if so, Toad rocks.
I did like his characterization after Genosha got destroyed... gave him a little dimension.

I don't think there is any way you can classify Alpha Flight as c-list. Maybe... JUST MAYBE.. I would give them B-list status... but C-list? That's borderline offensive.
From Wiki:
Major Mapleleaf: Lou Sadler is the son of a World War II super-hero of the same name. He is secretly a normal human who rides a superpowered horse.

Hmm... try looking up Guardian, Puck, Northstar, Sasquatch, Aurora, and... oh... who is that guy... umm... oh yeah, Wolverine.
B/C-List my fucking ass.

Wolverine comes so far that he wraps around the alphabet and is like S or T list.

I know, the rest seem fine. I find that to be hilarious though.
Yeah, but he was on Alpha Flight before any of them...
teams, that is.

I think it's all about the execution when it comes to superheroes. I mean, there's a Green Lantern who is literally a giant fucking sentient planet. If you're just reading that off a wiki, it sounds stupid. But in practice it works.

Atlas was Marvel comics.
Tiger-Man looks like he has Down's Syndrome.

Or, more recently, Toxin. Although Hyrbid is certainly more Z-List.
Juston Seyfert from Sentinel is a great C-List character. I almost wish he would join the Runaways.

Omega Flight has to be good - it has US Agent and Beta Ray Bill on the same team.
