Puck Part 38: Marvel Fanfare #28 (September, 1986)


Puck learns more about Northstar’s political history.
I have this issue.
Someone named Scourge is killing former members of the Front de Liberation de Quebec, an organization Northstar belonged to when he was younger that violently fought for Quebec’s independence. Judd helps track Scourge down and accepts Northstar as a true member of Alpha Flight.
Notes of Interest:
1) Not much character development here, but we do learn that the microchip call signal implanted in Judd’s skull can be altered to act as a tracking device.
2) Judd doesn’t say much this issue which is interesting…
WTF? Moment: …since the story deals with violent acts and questionably noble purposes. Judd spent years as a soldier of fortune and mercenary, killing for various reasons under many circumstances. Surely he has an opinion about Northstar’s activities in an organization focused on a political goal using any means necessary…right? Knowing Judd, he’d probably see Northstar’s past as the past, and simply be concerned about his actions now. If Northstar says he’s done with the FLQ and wishes to be part of Alpha’s family, Judd would be fine with it – so long as Jean-Paul stops being such a d!(k.
