it was just the one panel and no interaction. It seemed as if they were on a mutant-hunting expedition but I don't recall Janus ever being a mutant. It doesn't explicitly say in the text that he's a mutant but I would consider this a reveal of new information.

Also, it is possible that the Roger Bochs Jr in this issue is not the same as in the Infinity Hunt series - he could be another son, since that Box Jr was unnamed.

Would have loved to see Shaman's pouch used in the little battle. He seems to have taken on quite a leadership role, more so even than in the other Alpha Flight serieses. In the scene where Aurora smacked into Owl Snowbird, Narya seemed proportionally huge. I was under the impression that she transforms into Arctic creatures of the size typical of the animal.

Anyway I'm dying to know who Nemesis is. Onward to issue #2

What is the infinity hunt series?? I was blown away to think Bochs had a kid.

It's possible the Janus scene is still to play out, as the issue does flip between timelines, but could just be a throwaway scene.
A nice nod if so.
Given Scrambles collection of other victims, it makes sense for the Derangers to have been mutants.

Roger Jr was definitely named in Infinity Hunt, and the dialogue from IH is very similarly worded to the the text used in the data page here.

Could no-prize the funeral away in that Bochs Snr's death was classified and a funeral only held after details were released, when Gentry took over H in Volume 2.

I liked the Feedback usage. To me it cements that the appearance in Marauders was meant to be St Elmo.

I'm still worried Mac will be a triple agent!
