Gamma Flight started out as the second tier training team in
James Hudson's Department H.
However it, like H, was disbanded by the Canadian government.
At one time Alpha Flight
operated temporarily as guests of the
municipal government in Edmonton, Alberta. During this time the Federal gov't
began creating a new super-team to take Alpha's place on the national stage;
a team quite firmly under government control. To this end it bestowed the
sword of the woman known only as Nemesis
to a new operative and freed the Omega Flight
members named Wild Child and Diamond Lil. It completed the roster
with Asian dissidents Jhimon and Zhao Tang and a previously unknown mystic
called Witchfire. However, Lil ended up joining Alpha Flight instead.
Unknown to the government they were being influenced by the being known
as Llan the Sorcerer
into forming this new team. Llan
desired conflit between super-humans in Canada to further his plans. After an
investigation into the "Sorcerer affair" Canada disbanded Gamma Flight. The
name was used to collectively refer to the research, design and support
staff at the new Department H until Alpha Flight's suspension and H's
second shutdown.
Department H recently became active once more, and Alpha Flight has been
reformed. However, the Gamma Flight name appears to have fallen into disuse.
