The team was originally just a part of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s backstory; he left Alpha Flight to join the X-Men. Their first appearance was an attempt to force him to return, during which a fight ensued. They proved popular with readers and after a second appearance in the pages of ''X-Men'' in 1983, Byrne launched an eponymous series featuring the group, which continued until 1994. Three short-lived revivals have been attempted since, the most recent titled Omega Flight, in April 2007. Most infamously, the ''entire'' team was killed off in one panel [[TheWorfEffect just to set up how dangerous]] The Collective, a new Avengers foe, was.

** Snowguard of the [[ComicBook/Champions2016 Champions]] is this. She named herself after Snowbird and Guardian and has the same powers as Snowbird. Alpha Flight tried to recruit her in her first appearance, but she refused because they would've put her on the Gamma Flight training program instead of the main team, whereas the Champions were offering full membership.
