Alpha Flight #30

Jan 1986 · Marvel · 0.65 USD; 0.75 CAD; 0.30 GBP
“Enter...Scramble!”

In "Enter...Scramble!", Alpha Flight establishes their new base on Tamarind Island as Canada’s official superhero team, but their mission takes a dark turn when Heather uncovers a hidden past for Madison—leading her to a hospital where she inadvertently awakens Scramble, a man whose power to transmute flesh mirrors his brother’s mechanical abilities. With the team scrambling to contain the chaos, Madison must help restore his brother’s mind, while an even greater threat stirs in the shadows: the accidental resurrection of Deadly Ernest. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with striking art by Mike Mignola—both interior and cover—this 1986 issue delivers a tense, character-driven story that pushes Alpha Flight to their limits.

With government funding and now the official super hero group of Canada, Alpha Flight sets up their new base on Tamarind Island. Shaman takes off to find himself. Heather digs into Madison's past and finds out he has a brother. She visits him in a hospital and accidentally unleashes Scramble, a man who can transmute flesh just as his brother does with machinery. Alpha Flight has to contain Scramble and Madison helps restore his brother to sanity and put right the people he has distorted with his flesh altering powers. Unfortunately, Lionel has accidentally resurrected Deadly Ernest.
