CBR have a new story about Northstar

[Phil]

But while his sexuality was certainly alluded to, it was never declared out right that he was gay. And I can say - when I initially read Alpha Flight (1983, when it came out I was 13), I was certainly way too naive to have picked up on the clues. It was not until many years later that I had gone back, re-read it, and realized what they were alluding to all the way back then (having though thought, at the time, when 106 came out, that it seemed a little out of place, because I had indeed missed all those clues).

So - how and perhaps - why - would making Northstar an Elf do anything with his sexuality, which by this point, had not even been officially declared? How would making him an Elf do away with the hints that alluded to his sexuality?

I understand these may be rhetorical questions; but if it was indeed an editorial thing, I am not seeing how/why this would have done anything to "fix" his sexuality?

That's interesting.

So Bill was really hell bent on killing every original member of Alpha Flight.
