HULL HOUSE
Location: Orloo, Ontario
Affiliation: Department H
First Appearance: Alpha Flight #-1
Creators: Steve Seagle
Hull House is an orphanage in
Orloo, Ontario, that was somehow connected
to Department H. H's Super Hero Youth
Acceleration Program has recruited at least five youngsters from Hull House.
One of these, code-named Cleric, died while in H's custody.
Another recruit, named
Lilli, has been referred to as a "Legacy" case.
It's also been implied that there has been more than one "Legacy" case, as
Lilli has been referred to at a Dept H staff meeting as "another Legacy."
Whether the Alpha Flight members
Flex,
Radius, and
Murmer (all
recruited from Hull House) are "Legacy" cases or not is a mystery.
Also unknown is what
exactly a "Legacy" case is. However, it is extremely odd that H would be able
to recruit five super-human children from one orphanage. The mathematical odds
against that happening are quite astonishing.
Hull House is run by
Headmistress Beatrice deLaSalle. Discipline at
the orphanage is very strict, at least according to accounts from the former
residents now in Alpha Flight. Given the changes in Canadian super-heroics
over the past few years it is uncertain if Hull House maintains its
association with Department H.
