Description
Johnny Alpha, born in Britain at the end of the Great Atomic Wars, Alpha was the son of the fascist known as Nelson Bunker Kreelman, head of the new British parliament and the leader of a violent Anti-Mutant movement who proposed that all mutants be exterminated without exception. Upon realizing that his own son was a mutant, Kreelman moved to conceal this fact - even from his own son, but Johnny found out and fled his home (having been locked up by his own father and mistreated) and joined the Mutant Army and fought a war against Kreelman's 'final solution.' The Mutants eventually won out against Kreelman and his troops, but rather than receive the rights that they demanded, the mutants were offered a choice, either starve to death in ghetto's like Milton Keynes or work for the new Search/Destroy Agency as so-called Strontium Dogs - paid bounty hunters because 'normal people' did not want to do the job.

Alpha, along with his 'norm' partner, Wulf Sternhammer, a Viking who he befriended while in ancient times on a time-job traveled the galaxy with their part-time companion, the alien medic known simply as The Gronk until Sternhammer was murdered by a mutant criminal called Max Bubba and his gang and Alpha was near-death when he was found ... being given medical attention and once strong again, went after Bubba to get revenge for Wulf's murder.

Alpha's adventures are well-documented in the often violent Strontium Dog stories. He and Sternhammer originally appeared in a magazine called Starlord in 1978, and later in the magazine, 2000AD. He met his end in an alternative reality ... but that is another story.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot -- just in case I accidentally tick off some creep with a holier-than-thou attitude issue, the figure was manufactured by some company who I honestly cannot recall because the packaging it arrived in has long since vanished into the waste bins of time.
