Heather
MacNeil was the oldest of her seven siblings growing up in Calgary.
She became a secretary for Jerome Jaxon after she lef high school.
Jaxon worked for Am-Can Petroleum Company. She met and fell
in love with Dr. James MacDonald Hudson. She helped him decide
on a course of action when he stole his cyber helmet and destroyed
his designs when he learned that they were going to be used
for the American military. She, suggested that they go to Ottawa,
where, shortly, the met the Prime Minister and Department H
was formed. She and Mac soon married after they moved to Ottawa.
On their honeymoon, they first met Logan, and Heather was able
to tame him, and comfort him.
She and Mac were happy, he working for Department H, and
her as an executive secretary. She was involved and informed
of much of Department H, though not all. When Department H's
funding was cut by the governement, Heather was a driving
force behind Alpha Flight remaining together as a team as
she brought the team back together for the first time after
funding was cut. Heather was a sort of mother figure to Alpha
Flight but went through an incredible trauma when she saw
Mac die in ball of flame before her very eyes. She eventually
took on the role of leader of Alpha Flight, first as just
a normal person without super-powers, but soon, after Alpha
Flight was given government funding again, as Vindicator II.
She wore a suit similar to the one her husband had worn which
was made by Roger Bochs and Madison Jefferies from the remains
of Delphine Courtney, an android who had posed as Mac returned
from the grave.
Heather lead Alpha Flight for a long time as Vindicator,
and through many different adventures. She even found time
for a romance with Jefferies, and the two were even engaged.
She decided it was time for a change after an adventure with
Wolverine while the Canadian government was re-evaluating
its position on Alpha Flight. She chose to go by Guardian
rather than Vindicator. It was at this time that her husband
came back into her life. Mac had apparently never died, but
was sent hurtling through space and time. Together, they co-led
Alpha for a time, until Mac's second death. He sacrificed
his own life so that the rest of Alpha, and Heather could
live. Heather again took up the sole leadership role in Alpha.
At a time when the country was in turmoil over a controversial
"Super Powers Registration Act" she was faced with
another challenge, the return of her husband. This time, the
Master of the World had retrieved Mac and re-made him, into
his own image, renaming him the Antiguard. Heather was able
to break through to him, to his core personality and Mac was
able to break free. Mac was returned to her and his personality
full restored, not cold and robotic as the last time he had
returned.
After Alpha Flight's suspension, Heather and Mac acted as
free operatives occasionally working for the Canadian government.
As well, Heather helped Northstar battle Arcade.
Heather Hudson took up work in a florist shop in Ottawa,
shortly after she and Mac seperated (due to their now evident
differneces). She received a visit from Puck, who long has
had a crush on her. He had received a call telling him Mac
was in danger. The two were soon attacked and captured by
agents of Department H. They were recruited into Alpha Flight
and brainwashed to stay. There, Heather met Mac all over again.
He had been reduced to the age of nineteen and had only partial
memories of who he was. Eventually, it was revealed this was
a duplicate, when the real Mac showed up.
Heather has since retired from active duty with Alpha Flight.
With the return of the real Mac, they finally got a chance
to start the family Heather had longed for, and had a baby
girl.
