File:Alpha Flight Vol 2 18 001.jpg

Description
While Gentry tries to uncover what happened to a fleet of Epsilons and to the whereabouts of Dr. Horatio Huxley, the members of Alpha Flight have some time to themselves. Heather begins searching for an apartment outside of Department H, and Mac goes along with her. She finds one that she likes, but when Mac suggests he move in also, Heather changes her mind. Flex has some exciting news and goes to tell Judd, but Judd is far too busy with a file he was emailed called “Curiosity”, so Flex meets up with Murmur and Ghost Girl in Combat Centrale, and informs them that he has discovered who his birth father is. Before he gets to tell them however, he sees his brother Radius nearly getting beaten to death in the Combat room. Flex goes to help him, which only angers the unstable Radius. Gentry meets with the likes of Myra Haddock and Chief Engineer Su to discuss Huxley, when Judd interrupts the meeting, announcing he has uncovered some startling information. Alpha Flight are assembled and with Gentry they venture to what is known as “the Dungeon”, though the Department H staff believe it was simply unused laboratories. Judd knows what has been going on down here though thanks to the file he was emailed, and informs everyone of a deadly bacteria that was developed and tested on people, one of whom is former Alpha Flight member Diamond Lil. The Alphans discover Lil, who is being kept alive because her diamond-hard skin would not allow the bacteria inside her. However, there was on subject whom the bacteria known as Thetagen-24 sort of “merged” with - a being now known as Weapon X! Judd explains that the bacteria is going to make Weapon X want to cut open his own suit and expose all of Canada to the deadly virus inside. Gentry orders Alpha Flight to go and find Weapon X, while he will deal with finding Huxley, the man responsible for all this. Heather, Guardian, Judd, Manbot, Radius and Flex eventually do find Weapon X, who puts up a great fight. The heroes try to stop him from absorbing the energies of a power plant, but Weapon X is powerful. However, to add to the team’s problems, several heroes arrive on the scene claiming that they are the real Alpha Flight - Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora, Shaman and…Guardian!?
