After Kathryn Twoyoungmen's death Elizabeth lived with the MacNeils, and Heather and Liz grew up much like sisters. At a rather young age (17) Heather found herself working as a secretary for Jerome "Jerry" Jaxon at the Am-Can Petrochemical Corporation. [Note: Due to this information I've come to the interesting conclusion that Heather never completed high school. - DMK] It was there that she first met James MacDonald Hudson. For Heather, it was love at first sight. When Hudson quit to protest the sale of his experimental armor to the American Military, Heather gave her two weeks notice as well. The next day she showed up at Hudson's apartment with a box of groceries. She quickly discovered that Jimmy had stolen the cybernetic helmet that operated the armor. Heather's response? "Well, a wife can't testify against her husband anyways." Although Hudson was rather shocked, he admitted an immediate attraction as well. It was at Heather's suggestion that Jimmy Hudson contacted the Federal government. This led to a "smoothing over" of things with Am-Can and Hudson receiving employment with the Department of National Defence. After relocating to Ottawa the two were soon married. During their honeymoon James and Heather came accross the wild man that the world has come to know as Wolverine. After Department H was disbanded by the federal government it was Heather Hudson who was responsible for Alpha Flight getting back together. Heather didn't want her "handsome hubby" going into battle up north all alone...so she activated Alpha's call beacons. Heather was present when her husband was seemingly blown to ashes after a battle with Omega Flight. However, she quickly bounced back from her tragedy and eventually assumed leadership of her husband's team, first as a non-costumed operative and then wearing a copy of Jimmy's battlesuit. As leader of Alpha Flight she first used the code-name Vindicator and then adopted the name Guardian, paralleling her husband. Heather Hudson has since suffered through both a resurrection, a death, and then a second resurrection of her husband. [You could argue that she suffered through THREE resurrections, but the one in Alpha #25 was a hoax - DMK] The two are currently apparently happy together, although there were some indications that Heather was becoming romantically interested in Alpha member Wildheart just before Jimmy's second "comeback." Heather is the second person to go by the name Guardian. She has previously been known as Vindicator, also being the second of that name. She is the current leader of Alpha Flight, and made her first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #139. The character was created by John Byrne. Powers/Tactics: Heather Hudson's battlesuit enables her to fly at speeds up to Mach 1, has a protective force-field and can project beams of concussive force of up to 250 pounds of TNT. These beams can be used to tunnel through bedrock (the original purpose of the suit) at speeds of up to 25 miles an hour. The suit also has had a variety of other offensive options retconned in [Kindly note the sarcasm - DMK]. The suit is capable of rendering Guardian "at rest" to the rotation of the planet, providing an immediate, extreme accleration westward. Finally, the suit is capable of creating funnels out of plasma, but this capability has not been used since the days of Byrne.

He maintains a compilation of Alpha Flight history, and graciously consented to allow me the use of it for this purpose. Some additional information from aeght@tribeca.ios.com. The second flight slot will give almost (1550 km/h, about Mach 1.3, but with instantaneous acceleration) the proper speed at the earth's equator at SPD 5. Of course, when using this flight the velocity falls off as one approaches the poles. The tunnelling slot will give almost 25 mph at SPD 5. The suit is IIF because it's not obvious it is a suit, it looks like a costume. =============================================================================== Character write-up by Tim "Spock" Larson
