Points of Interest[]

Bon Accord: Bon Accord is a town located in the central region of the province of Alberta in Canada. The name is taken from a region in Aberdeen, Scotland. It was established as a village in 1964, and became incorporated as a town in 1979. In the Marvel Universe, Bon Accord was the sight of a great battle between the Canadian super-hero team Alpha Flight and the monstrous hordes of the Chaos King. The Great Beasts got into the fight as well. Alpha Flight member Walter Langkowski made a bargain with the Great Beasts in order to resurrect the deceased members of his group for this battle against the God-Killer.

Freehold: Freehold is a small town located in the Columbia ice fields of Alberta. It was established by Samuel Sterns - the Leader, and developed as something of a biosphere designed to protect all within from the dangers of potential radioactive fallout. The Leader populated Freehold with the greatest scientific minds he could acquire, as well as those already suffered mutation as a result of radiation exposure. His goals were far from altruistic, however. With plans to set off nuclear Armageddon, the Leader intended on using Freehold as the last bastion of society that would rise to rule the Earth. The Leader placed Burt Horowitz, aka Omnibus, as the public face of Freehold. The organization known as the Riot Squad were also based out of Freehold.

Roanoke: Roanoke was a small town located in the Canadian province of Alberta. The Canadian government, in conjunction with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, erected a laboratory complex known as the Weapon X facility, which was located near the town of Roanoke.
