It's got anti-Plodex powers?
Like I said earlier, there seems to be a series of idiotic creative decisions, which became progressively more idiotic.
Also, how was Snowbird resurrected when Walter still has her body?
Checking the issue (Wolverine #143, for the record, and #142)...
Hee hee hee "Her death was one of the greatest tragedies Alpha Flight ever had to endure... in many ways she (Heather) blamed herself for what happened."
You mean in the way that Heather SHOT HER?!?
Right now I'm laughing like in that David Bowie song 'Wishful Beginnings'. No, wait, that's actually playing.
Hmm... you're right. In the backup story to #143, they 'explain' it as advanced cellular regeneration, like Wolverine (Walt's comparison, not mine). After she was buried. Apparently Walt forgot that he got her body...

You gots to be kidding me...
After seeing him in her body, I was hideously (internally) scarred for life...yet, he just forgot!!!???!

It reads more like the latter, but is open to interpretation (and Walt did compare it directly to Wolverine, as noted).
But either way, it'd require them getting their hands on her body - which Walt was in possession of. And, as FP pointed out, that's not the kind of thing you can just forget.

I know that not everyone liked Frank Tieri's handling of Alpha, but I liked how he handled this confusion caused by a previous writer and explained it away by a line that just left it up to the reader to use their imagination regarding how the Gods orchestrated the cloning.
One other dangling plotline from that same trainwreck of a story, however, is the other embryos of Snowbird that they showed that AIM had...

I was one who liked Frank's handling of Alpha Flight (when he's used them). I think he did a good job for the most part (including his handling of Aurora in Weapon X). He wrote the Wolverine and Alpha Flight VS Mauvais story too. I'd love to see Mauvais come back, if Alpha got their own series. He's a native Quebeois villain and he was very creepy and evil.
Actually, Mr Tieri used Alpha Flight somewhat often in Wolverine.

ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
I'd have to go with Phil on this and have it explained as them using cells/DNA samples to regenerate her body. Snowbird couldn't have possibly been dug up from a grave as Walter possesses that body now.
In Wolverine #172 Shaman claims the Northern Gods had brought Snowbird back, but doesn't say why or how. His exact quote is:
Surely the Northern Gods did not orchestrate Snowbird's resurrection only to have her fall to the likes of you!

He did? I guess I missed this. Mind you, 15 years out of the comic-buying realm might make me miss a few things of importance...
