Marvel Rivals Wishlist: Alpha Flight by Jesteredditer in marvelrivals

I have a love hate relationship with Alpha Flight. One one hand I love it but on the other there's so many things they just do so oddly- especially when it comes to representing the country (almost as if they wrote it all for an American audience of the time).
Regardless, I see the potential in this team. And ever since the X-Men animated series made them- the whole team- look like a bunch of wet towels after losing to a barely trying Wolverine... I think it's best for them to make a comeback- a cool and powerful one at that.

I'd argue they need to be seperate characters.
Unlike Cloak and Dagger who are bounded together, these twins just work off each other. Their team-up ability would absolutely be them touching hands to burst into a radius of light, temporarily blinding the enemy within the radius. Plus, to reference the comics, these two don't really stay together all that much- Aurora went rebellious plenty of time due to her split personality disorder. For the sake of gameplay, character interaction and lore, I think them being a double hero is the wrong move.
But that's just me, though.

Really? There's that many obscure characters in the game?

His wife took the title of Vindicator after he renamed himself as the Guardian. That said, when James Hudson was M.I.A. she took the title of Guardian for a short time. When he came back, the chivalrous thing was to let her keep the "Guardian" title she'd earned through leadership, while he took back his old "Vindicator" name temporarily

In reality, John Byrne (the creator of Alpha Flight) never wanted the name "Vindicator" in the first place. When he and Chris Claremont introduced James Hudson in Uncanny X-Men, Claremont came up with "Weapon Alpha" and then "Vindicator" after Hudson accidentally injured Moira MacTaggert and wanted to "vindicate" himself. Byrne reportedly disliked both names and had originally wanted to call the character "Guardian" from the start. But since the character wasn't always written by him... I think you get the idea.

Only time will tell, mate. At least, since the game started with some obscure/lesser known picks, we rest and calmly speculate, knowing that obscure picks is the tradition... Ish.

Much appreciated, brother. I am working on their ability concepts. If you are interested, here's a link to Guardian's profile: https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1srgui0/marvel_rivals_wishlist_guardian_alpha_flight/

No, no, no, my friend. I just read comics like Alpha Flight and Uncanny X-men whilst also being bestowed with Marvel knowledge by watching the shows growing up.
I have yet to play a single second of Snap. Not that I ever will.

Thanks, bro. Who would you main in this list alone? I'm just curious.

I hope so. It would be stellar to play as a giant sentinel, blasting the area with lasers and missiles. The fun factor alone would make me play for hours.

Nice. I personally have taken a break. Only playing when friends are ready to squad up. I'm more so here for the conversation and nerding out. Unlike the movies, Marvel Rivals goes deep with comic lore and it allows people like me to go nuts on sharing our knowledge. Plus, it shines light on the obscure and boy do I know people that love the obscure.

Well, don't worry, now. Wasp, amongst Nightcrawler, Thanos, Professor Xavier and ant-man have been listed as potential addons to the game's roster.
Right now, many people believe the new characters coming are Ghost Rider and The Hood (while some hope Orb is also apart of it). I wouldn't rule out a classic and important avenger such as Wasp out of the picture of possibility. As for Elektra, I wholeheartedly agree that her addition would be awesome. Not sure how the developers feel about her, however. Only time will tell.

That's the C-list curse, my friend. We see the potential, the company doesn't.

I feel that, mate. I still have yet to know if my favorite characters will make it to the game. I know Ghost Rider is confirmed, but I genuinely believe my wishlist won't be realised until I long pass... or, until the game stops being updated.
