Windshear

Name: Colin Hume

Group: Alpha Flight

First Appearance: Alpha Flight #87 June 1990

"Chinook is a type of wind, not a-- It doesn't matter. I tried to get out of it. I did. But I still wanted to... leave something behind. Thought I'd make art. Touch people with beauty. But there was something about my time as Wind-Shear. The look on the faces of people when I arrived. The feeling of being... bigger. I did... questionable things while I worked for Roxxon. But that didn't matter when I put on the mask. That "silly costume" makes me a symbol, not a man. Those "bright colors" can't be stained by past mistakes and regret. Those colors are a symbol, X-23, for the most uncomplicated, most untainted elements of what truly lies in our souls. In an age of mistrust and divisiveness, we need a few things that are just bloody simple and pure." - Windshear

Ashamed of the villainous deeds he was forced to perform as a special operative for Roxxon Oil, Windshear quit and became an official member of Alpha Flight. He served as an administrator and adviser to Beta Flight. During his time with Alpha Flight, Windshear gradually became more comfortable with the role of a superhero.

When the Canadian government disbanded Alpha Flight, Windshear retired from the superhero life and returned to his home in England, where he set up a curio shop that sold high-priced objects, created with his mutant power, that was only visible under special lighting.
