Owner's Description

“Rules of Engagement - part 2” Alpha Flight, the FBI and police officers are attempting to remove all of the mutant students from the institute, as they believe them to be in danger while Xavier is talking to his legal counsel, who at this stage cannot do anything. Sasquatch and Guardian discuss the one student they are particularly interested in removing, a Canadian boy, Samuel Pare. Juggernaut gets mad when he is told Sammy has to leave and a fight between the X-Men and Alpha flight breaks out. Eventually Sammy settles the battles by telling everyone he will leave if the other students get to stay, so that it means there will be no more fighting. This compromise is agreed upon, and Sammy leaves, much to Juggernaut’s chagrin. At an archaeology dig site with their old teacher, Havok, Polaris and also Nightcrawler are witness to a startling discovery – a mutant civilization uncovered that predates Ancient Egypt. While there, they are attacked by a religious sect, who are trying to stop the news of ancient mutant bones being discovered to the world, and apparently commit suicide by blowing themselves up. Arch-Angel gets an embarrassing goodbye present by Stacy X who has left the mansion and Chamber has to face the fact that Husk seems to be getting close to Archangel. <br /><br />Polaris’ mother is actually her foster mother and her aunt from her father’s side, as Lorna’s parents were killed in a plane crash. [X-Men (1st series) #52] The Danes’ relation to Zaladane – if there actually is one – has been speculated upon but has never been confirmed [Uncanny X-Men #249] <br /><br />According to Homer’s Iliad he ancient civilization of Troy was involved in a decade long battle with Greece after Helen of Sparta, wife of Menelaous, was given to the shepherd Paris after he judged Aphrodite the most beautiful over Hera and Athene, at the wedding of Thetis and Pelius. Several Greeks including Odysseus and Ajax banded together and led a battle to reclaim Helen for Greece. The gods intervened in the battle and after much death and deceit Troy fell at the hands of the Greeks, with the help of several of the Gods. Archeologist Heinrich Schliemann believed to have found the ruins of the true Troy, but today, it is still the spectacle of debate in whether the actual location of the city has been uncovered or not. <br /><br />Alex and Lorna both have degrees in geology, and left the X-Men at one point to concentrate on archeology and geology. <br /><br />Chamber, like Husk, is another former Generation X member. The two had an off-again on-again relationship through much of the series, never truly getting together because he could not deal with the emotional aspects of a relationship. After giving birth to a baby girl in X-Men Unlimited #45, Guardian and his wife Heather decided that children were so important that they wanted to look out for them more carefully, though the exact reasoning behind Alpha Flight being at the mansion and how they contacted the governor was apparently edited out. <br /><br />Heather McNeil Hudson had given up the role of being a super-hero, and became Alpha Flight’s government liaison. [Wolverine #142], she soon became pregnant [Wolverine #173] and after giving birth has returned to being a super-hero, returning to the second cybernetic suit she wore which controls geothermal aspects and the codename Vindicator, as seen in this issue. <br /><br />The “Riot at Xavier’s” took place in New X-Men #134- #138. <br /><br />Northstar does not show any reaction to his sister not being with Alpha Flight, as he does not know she was kidnapped by Weapon X, and has not been located by Alpha Flight yet. [Wolverine #173] <br />After picking Squidboy up from Canada, Xavier’s plane was diverted to Ireland to help the X-Men, where they rescued Juggernaut too [Uncanny X-Men #412]. Since then, Sammy has looked up to Cain, while the former villain, albeit reluctantly at first, eventually grew fond of Sammy. <br /><br /><br /><br />
