They're all from Canada!
Alpha Flight is a fictional superhero team published by Marvel Comics, noteworthy for being one of the few Canadian superhero teams and Canada's answer to the Avengers. The team first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #120 (April 1979).
Most of the team members have distinct Canadian attributes, such as Inuit or First Nations heritage. Throughout most of its history, the team has worked for Department H, a fictional branch of Canada's Department of National Defence that deals with super-powered villains. The Canadian mutants included Nothstar, Aurora, Sasquatch, Snowbird and Guardian.
The team was originally part of the backstory of the X-Men's Wolverine but, in 1983, Marvel launched a new series featuring the group, which continued until 1994. After the resurrection of the team in the one shot comic Chaos War: Alpha Flight which was published as part of the Chaos War event, they went on to star in an eight-issue limited series in 2011.
So, if you enjoy playing in the snow, this series for you. But even if you live in the Sahara desert and you're a fan of the X-Men, this is one of the more interesting supporting series in the X-Men family. After all, no bad comic lasts 130 issues.
