So pop open a Molson and join us for our celebration of the heroes to the North!

Whats cooler than a gamma powered Canadian Bigfoot?

Langowski postulated that the Aurora Borealis (didnt he play Angel?)

caused his transformation into an orange furred monstrosity rather than a green goliath.

In 1940, the War Exchange Conservation Act was passed to preserve the value of the Canadian dollar.

As a result most non-essential U.S. imports were banned, including comic books.

One such stalwart was Sgt.

Canuck, a bad ass Mountie who fought such diabolical villains as the Skull.

In another world, Sgt.

Most copies ofBig Bang Comicshave been lost, so the story of Sgt.

Canuck was a Canadian to be reckoned with.

One would not think there would be many opportune times to belt out a good Scramble, Pard!

but the Purple Rider proves otherwise.

So, I guess she didnt do much pirating, but lots of protecting.

Did the criminals have to head out to sea before she could spring into action?

Whatever the case, the Polka Dot Pirate is one of the most noticeable Canadian heroes of yesteryear.

Puck is one of the most memorable and enduring Alpha Flight members.

Before the curse, Judd was pals with Ernest Hemingway and was also a loyal Canadian soldier.

Yet Puck endured, continuing to fight the good fight and eventually joining Alpha Flight.

He even died and went to hell but was freed by his drinking buddy Wolverine.

Upon his return to the land of the living Puck became a founding member of the new Uncanny X-Force.

He used to force Red to play chicken with oncoming trains to help him become more of a man.

and would beat Red if he dodged the train too quickly.

His father suffered a massive stroke after beating Reds older sister for her hippy lifestyle.

After the war he joined first the Detroit police force, and then the F.B.I.

In the Bureau, he swiftly established a reputation for being extremely violent, but terrifyingly effective.

Red Ketchup was raised by neo-Nazi, abusive father who made him play chicken with trains.

He was hocked up on a LSD/cocaine like drug that made him immune to pain.

He was Lobo/Wolverine/Punisher clone goofed up on bath salts and given full license to fight crime and corruption.

Hes Red Ketchup and he needs to be seen to be believed.

This one is pretty awesome.

When Manning was murdered, PACT had to find someone with the same brainwaves as Manning.

They discovered Philip Wise, a video clerk and comic book fan.

This one is a bit strange and a whole lot of amazing.

Captain Newfoundland was part of a race of aliens who came to Earth and founded Atlantis.

In modern times, Captain Atlantis took the name Captain Newfoundland and became a protector of Earth and Canada.

He granted powers to other beings including Captain Canada.

He was joined by a pantheon of heroes that fought with Captain Canada and tutored him.

Northstar was a self-centered ass but possessed a great love for his troubled sister.

Aw, the heck with it.

We all know how the most insanely popular Canadian super-hero is and he deserves a mention!

Wolverine is pure Canadian; he makes Bret The Hitman Hart look like a native of Kentucky.
