Marvel комикстерінен "Альфа отряды"

Fictional team from Marvel Comics

Alpha Squadron is a fictional team of mutants appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The characters were featured in the comic book series New X Men: Academy X, in the Marvel Universe. They are students of the Xavier Institute and are instructed by members of the X Men. The squad’s colors are red, grey and black. After M Day, all individual teams of the Xavier Institute disbanded and have been formed into one group.

Alpha Squadron was advised by former Alpha Flight member, Northstar. Thus the name Alpha Squadron. When Northstar was seemingly killed by Wolverine, the squad was assigned a new advisor, Karma.

After House of M, Wanda Maximoff depowered 90% of the mutant population. The Xavier Institute was affected a great deal, losing many of the students and some X Men. Alpha Squadron was also affected. Rubbermaid, Network and Kidogo lost their powers while Anole, Indra and Loa kept theirs. Karma also kept hers. Rubbermaid and Network unfortunately died in the bus attack from William Stryker. Kidogo's status and whereabouts are unknown.

Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir have stated that it is not impossible that Alpha Squadron has more gay members (2 or 3) than other squads. As they have only made a decision on Anole's sexuality, they aren't sure about this yet. It remains to be seen if this idea will still be in effect after Decimation and the change of writers. Shan Coy Manh and Jean Paul Beaubier, the squad's advisor and former advisor, respectively, are both homosexual.
