Synopsis:
Nightcrawler finds himself attacked by Wendigo. Their battle alerts the three Alphans and Wolverine, causing the X-Man and Snowbird to follow the fleeing monster to its lair. While Snowbird gets reinforcements, Wolverine witnesses how Wendigo intends to kill his prisoners. Having no choice, he attacks. He is soon joined by the others and snowbird changes to a real wolverine to attack the monster. She momentarily beats him but her animal persona becomes dominant, until Wolverine talks her out of it. Now, Shaman can use his spell to return Wendigo to his human form – Georges Baptiste, who is then arrested for Wendigo’s crimes. Vindicator promises Wolverine he won’t be hassled by Department H any longer. Later, Vindicator is told by the prime minister that Alpha flight is being disbanded. In Salem Center, Storm gets rid of a stalker and meets Kitty after her first dance lesson. For some unfathomable reason, she strongly dislikes Kitty’s dance instructor, Stevie Hunter. In the Super villain penitentiary in New Mexico, the Blob escapes, ready to join the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Notes:
Alpha Flight comes together again and decides to stay together, even without government backing, in the pages of Alpha Flight (1st series) #1, which takes place a few weeks after the end of this story.
