Hudson began as Weapon Alpha, became Vindicator in X-Men (1st series) #120, Guardian in Alpha Flight (1st series) #2, Vindicator again in #90, Antiguard in #129, and Guardian again as of #130.

As of Alpha Flight (3rd series) #12, there were two versions of Guardian running around -- a past version on Earth, and a present version on Plodex. One was killed on Earth in New Avengers #16 but it wasn't clear which one. Five years later, Chaos War: Alpha Flight #1 established the original Alpha Flight returned from space before being killed by the Collective. The past versions were presumably restored to their proper place in history. Guardian was restored to life in Chaos War #5.
