Omega

Born into the Copper Age of Marvel Comics, Omega made their debut in Alpha Flight #48 (1987), brought to life by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Terry Shoemaker. With a relatively compact presence across a handful of issues between 1987 and 1990, this is a character steeped in the distinctive, ambitious storytelling that defined Marvel's Canadian super-team title — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Vindicator, Sasquatch, Walter Langkowski, Heather Hudson, and Kara Killgrave. A rare find for the dedicated Alpha Flight completist, Omega represents exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes hunting through the Copper Age such a rewarding adventure.
