History
Beta Flight were a team of superheroes created by Department H to serve as the training division of Alpha Flight which was the premier hero team for Canada. They consisted of less experienced or younger Canadian heroes who are training to join the main team.
The first incarnation of Beta Flight was created by James Hudson after the failure of his first super-human response team, the Flight.
Two members of Beta Flight, Puck and Marrina, were already cleared to join Alpha Flight and were called up with the rest of Alpha Flight to assist Vindicator against the Great Beast Tundra, by Heather MacNeil Hudson.
This version was later disbanded when the Canadian government cut all funding to Department H after several missions were deemed failures.
After the Canadian government restarts Department H, Beta gains new members from the former rival government sponsor team, Gamma Flight, and remains the raw recruit team, while Gamma Flight is instead used to refer to Department H's support sections. Department H and all Flight sections are shut down soon after the Canadian Superhuman Registration Act is passed.
After Department H and Alpha Flight are reformed with an almost new group of heroes and administrators, a classified Beta Flight wing of headquarters was established. It was later revealed to have held three young superhumans who were the subjects of secret experiments. When additional members of the earlier Alpha Flight return, several newer members are demoted to form a new Beta Flight.
