| Origin |
| Jean-Paul Beaubier
was
orphaned and separated from his twin sister Jeanne-Marie as an infant. Beaubier's career as a champion snow skier brought him to
the attention of the Canadian defense department, Department H, and he was
contacted by James Hudson (Guardian I). Hudson had met Jeanne-Marie
(Aurora) years earlier and when Jean-Paul learned he
had a twin sister he could not resist joining
Alpha Flight, assuming the
name Northstar. |
