However, it didn’t end there. Later that night, Pestilence actually managed to get inside Snowbird’s soulless body and dug himself out of the grave to attack Alpha Flight, still in the white Sasquatch form. Fortunately, Walter Langkowski’s soul returned at this moment too, inside the Box robot. He and Pestilence fought each other to a stand-still, until he used an electric charge to shock Pestilence’s spirit out, and it was trapped inside Shaman’s medicine pouch. Langkowski was then free to take over Snowbird’s body, finally having a physical form again after so many months. However upon changing back from Sasquatch to human, he found himself to be a woman, as Snowbird had been female. Regardless, Walter was happy to be alive again, and calling himself Wanda Langkowski he once more served Alpha Flight as Sasquatch. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #45]
Even from the afterlife, Snowbird was still able to contact her friends. The first time she did this was to visit Elizabeth Twoyoungmen in a dream, informing her that she needed to reclaim the Talisman tiara for she was the only one who was meant to wear it, and there was a great danger ahead in Alpha Flight’s near future. During the tiara-swapping melee which occurred when Elizabeth took it from her father Shaman, the evil Dream Queen influenced Wanda Langkowski, aka Sasquatch, to steal the tiara and bring it to her.
Snowbird’s spirit appeared before Wanda and halted her trek towards the Dream Queen. Knowing that Walter/Wanda yearned for the return of his/her manhood, Snowbird helped him transform the body into a simulacrum of his lost one, and finally Wanda became Walter again. Likewise the Dream Queen’s spell controlling Wanda was disrupted. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #67-68]
Snowbird’s story still wasn’t over, as years later, she was discovered alive in an A.I.M. laboratory. Guardian had been kidnapped by A.I.M. and Alpha Flight and Wolverine (or actually the Skrull imposter posing as him) entered the secret base to get him back. On their way out, the heroes found a tank holding there supposingly deceased friend. Naturally they freed her and took her along to Department H, where excessive tests revealed her to be the real deal. The exact circumstances of Narya’s mysterious resurrection have yet to be revealed, though it seems the Arctic Gods had a hand in it. Even more perplexing is what A.I.M were doing with Snowbird in the first place, as they had always been concerned with science, not magic. One file that was found revealed that A.I.M. saw Snowbird as a link between science and magic, and they may have created two beings siphoned from Narya’s DNA. [Wolverine (2nd series) #143, 172]
[Note: The explanation provided for Snowbird’s being alive in Wolverine (2nd series) #143, that her body’s regenerative powers kicked in while she was lying in her grave, can’t be true, as her grave is empty and her body is still inhabited by Walter Langkowski, aka Sasquatch. Evidently writer Eric Larsen had no knowledge of this. Bitter irony that it is even Walter himself who states the wrong explanation in the issue.]
When she had fully recovered, Snowbird rejoined her friends in Alpha Flight, the restraints once imposed on her due to her immortal status still seemed to be gone, as she accompanied several of her teammates to Massachusetts, New York, without any consequences, when a real Sasquatch showed up and harassed Generation X. [Generation X (1st series) #58]
Sometime later, Alpha Flight saved their former teammate Wolverine from the evil sorcerer Mauvais, who had added the curse of the Wendigo to his own might by eating the former Wendigo’s heart. During the battle, Snowbird hoped to best Mauvais by transforming herself into a Wendigo like he, to keep him distracted, while Shaman summoned the Arctic Gods to help them. Eventually Mauvais was banished to the Realm of the Great Beasts. It’s unknown whether this was the purpose Snowbird had been resurrected for or if there still is some greater task ahead for her. [Wolverine (2nd series) #172]
When Alpha Flight was attacked by a demonic shaman, he transformed all of Department H into a 
hive, and possessed Sasquatch and Puck, turning them evil. He also got hold of Snowbird, who he transformed into a giant bug-creature like himself and proceeded to rape her. Shaman asked Wolverine for help, and while Logan made his way through the overrun Department H building, Alpha Flight’s resident mystic defeated the demon on another plane of reality. The disturbed Snowbird was freed from the foul being, and she returned to normal, just like her teammates. [Wolverine (2nd series) #179]
A few months later, Snowbird was among the members of Alpha Flight who were brought into conflict with a Plodex spaceark and captured. Once Sasquatch gathered an all-new all-different 
Alpha Flight to rescue them, Narya and the original Alpha Flight decided they could be best served by returning the multitude of Plodex eggs on board the ship to the race's homeworld. They planned to live and work there, raising the new generation of Plodex away from the conquering drives of their predecessors. [Alpha Flight (3rd series) #6]
Shortly after, a convoluted series of events led to time-displaced original versions of Alpha Flight being brought to the present, and they apparently disappeared in an unchronicled story. Around the same time, Snowbird and the other members of Alpha Flight who journeyed to space returned to Earth, and Snowbird married one of the all-new all-different Alpha Flight members, Yukon Jack, apparently retiring to his kingdom of Kemteron. [Alpha Flight (3rd series) #12]
Snowbird was not among the restructured Alpha Flight team consisting of a mixture of veterans and all-new all-different members who were tragically slain by the Collective. [New Avengers (1st series) #16]
[Note: While Snowbird and Alpha Flight were in space with the Plodex, a temporally displaced version of the team were snatched from the past. For a time, it was unclear whether the Alphans killed fighting the Collective were the originals or these alternate-reality heroes. Chaos War: Alpha Flight #1 established that the Alphans killed by the Collective were the ones who came back from space. No resolution for the doppelgangers has yet been revealed.]
Snowbird's marriage to Yukon Jack did not last long, with her husband suffering neurological damage (apparently due to the time-travel adventure he participated in), and the marriage ended. In the wake of the superhuman Civil War in the United States, the Canadian government assembled a new heroic Omega Flight. Snowbird and Yukon Jack were both candidates for the team, but Yukon Jack's neurological state meant he was not a viable option. Snowbird, however, 
was personally invited not by her former teammates Talisman or Sasquatch, but by Michael Pointer. Pointer was the new Guardian – and the man who (as the Collective) was responsible for the deaths of Alpha Flight. Snowbird was physically hostile towards Michael Pointer and warned him that he was lucky she did not kill him. With her marriage over, most of her teammates dead and the Great Beasts dormant, she simply had no interest in the issues facing Canada and humanity in general. [Incredbile Hercules #117, Omega Flight #1]
However, humanity did need Snowbird – or, rather, the Pantheon of Gods needed Snowbird to help save the humans of Earth who worshipped them. The alien race known as the Skrulls had launched a secret invasion of Earth, and the Pantheon of Gods rallied, deciding to send its own heroes to the heart of the Skrull Empire to destroy the Skrull gods, Kly'bn and Sl'gur't. Snowbird found some renewed energy being reunited with Hercules, the two having fought alongside each other some years ago. Dubbed the God Squad, Snowbird and Hercules were joined by Ajak of the Eternals, the Japanese God of Chaos Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the God-Eater Demogorge and Hercules' companion, Amadeus Cho. They journeyed through the stars on a large vessel gifted by one of the elder gods.
It was on this journey through the Dreamtime that the God Squad encountered the villain Nightmare, who offered to grant the God Squad directions through the Dreamtime, in exchange for their greatest fears. Snowbird's survivor's guilt was confirmed as she was forced to watch her teammates being killed by the Collective. The God Squad succeeded in defeating Nightmare and 
retrieving directions to the Skrull pantheon. Nonetheless, their encounter with Nightmare was not insignificant, as upon returning to the God Squad's ship, Snowbird snuck away to her quarters, visibly upset. She was found crying by Hercules, who sat with her and began to offer her some advice. Advice, however, was not on Snowbird's mind, as she kissed the surprised Hercules and told him that she didn't want to be alone anymore.
The God Squad eventually arrived at the Skrull palace, where they were attacked by countless gods – not Skrulls posing as gods, but slave gods from pantheons past who had been absorbed into the Skrull Empire. The number of slave gods overwhelmed the God Squad and, not willing to lose another team, Snowbird transformed herself into a previously unknown Great Beast called Neooqtoq the Ravager, whereupon she laid waste to the attacking slave gods, enabling her teammates to make an escape.
Her teammates watched as Snowbird was then seemingly devoured by the slave gods. However, as Snowbird started to succumb to the attacks of the slave gods, she remembered how easy it was to die, and knew that it would be greater to honor her fallen comrades by living. She 
resourcefully transformed into a cloud of mosquitoes to escape the slave god horde and flew through space to return to her God Squad teammates, just in time, as the Demogorge and Ajak had both been killed in her absence. Hercules was battling the Skrull god Kly'bn and hurled him towards Snowbird, who picked up the Demogorge's spine and shoved it through Kly'byn's chest, skewering him and significantly impacting the Skrull armarda above Earth's attack. Snowbird, Hercules and Amadeus Cho were then able to escape the Skrull realm and return to Earth. [Incredible Hercules #117-120]
Upon returning to Earth, Snowbird's loneliness returned, even confiding her feelings to her mother and grandfather. Unfortunately, Nelvanna and Hodiak were more interested in the return of an old threat and reminded Snowbird of her true purpose on Earth – to defend it from the Great Beasts. Snowbird was ordered to a small town in Alaska, where she encountered Herateq and Tiamat and swiftly destroyed them. In the aftermath, her mother and grandfather grew concerned about Snowbird's emotional state. [Marvel Heartbreakers #1] Later, following the death of Hercules, Snowbird joined many others from the superhuman community in farewelling the great hero. At 
the funeral, Snowbird spent most of her time with others who had shared intimate moments with Hercules, and somewhat bizarrely she even outed her longtime teammate Northstar of having slept with Hercules also. [Hercules: Fall of an Avenger #1]
