Who is Guardian?

Guardian is a Marvel hero closely affiliated with Alpha Flight, Canada's premiere super-team. Operating alongside members such as Heather Hudson and Puck, Guardian has crossed paths with major Avengers figures including Captain America.

Debuting in the pages of The Avengers #321 in 1990, Guardian is a Marvel hero who arrived at the dawn of the Modern Age and has proven a durable presence across more than three decades of storytelling. Closely tied to Alpha Flight — Marvel's celebrated Canadian super-team — this character has shared adventures with heavy hitters like Captain America and Steve Rogers as well as beloved Alpha Flight stalwarts Heather Hudson and Puck, making Guardian a genuine crossroads figure between Marvel's cosmic roster and its northern heroes. With appearances spanning Alpha Flight, The Avengers, and beyond, plus a collector-recognized key issue to their name, Guardian is exactly the kind of character who rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into the rich, interconnected fabric of the Marvel Universe.
