DELPHINE COURTNEY
Real Name: Inapplicable
Other Aliases: James Hudson, Guardian
Group Affiliation: Omega Flight
First Appearance: Alpha Flight #7
Last Appearance: Alpha Flight #28
Creator: John Byrne
Delphine Courtney was a robot created by Roxxon Oil and given to
Jerry Jaxon to aid him
in his quest for revenge on James Hudson.
Courtney was to act as
Jaxon's legs and to provide whatever assistance Jaxon deemed necessary.
Courtney was very effective in her work. First she recruited the members
of the original Omega Flight.
Then she waylaid Heather Hudson
at a New York airport to lure James Hudson into a trap. Finally, she managed
to escape when Jaxon and Omega were ultimately defeated.
Sometime after Omega Flight's first defeat James Hudson returned from
his exile near Jupiter and crash-landed into the ocean near a Roxxon oil rig.
Due to a malfunction, Hudson did not revive from suspended animation as
expected. Roxxon shipped him off to a scientific facility where they were able
to patch into Hudson's cybernetic systems. Using the knowledge they gained
Courtney was able to remake herself into a duplicate of Hudson, including the
abilities of Hudson's battle suit.
Arranging to have the surviving members of Omega Flight broken out of
jail, Courtney set about implementing an elaborate scheme to trap and destroy
Alpha Flight. Immitating Hudson she infiltrated Alpha Flight and led them into
an Omega Flight ambush. However Alpha was able to force Omega into retreat, and
Delphine Courtney was destroyed by Madison Jeffries
in the parking lot of the West Edmonton Mall. The robot's remains were salvaged
and turned into a battlesuit later worn by
Heather Hudson.
Delphine Courtney was a robot who had a number of super-human abilities
due to her mechanical nature. She possessed an influencer device that helped
her to corrupt the members of Omega Flight I into working against James
Hudson. In her second fight with Alpha she had been modified to duplicate
the abilities of James Hudson's battle armor.
