Crazy Quilt?
I was thinking of the Alpha Flight member (or Alphan as I'm sure they referred to each other earnestly during plot dumps.) Excellent guess Blacula and Question Chaim.

I would have thought Clayface would be a B-list villain at least Catman?

Egyptian God Lad has it! It was that perennial background-in-a-group-shot villain himself, Crazy Quilt!
I'm intrigued by the journeys some character's take over the course of their publication history.

Egyptian God Lad has it! ... That's Set you're thinking of Assist to Teeds who had the Boy Commandoes vs Crazy Quilt in a recent cover thread. New Q at the weekend.

The members of what would be a post-government Alpha Flight got a signal that would lead to them combatting the mighty Tundra. All except one member made it to the battle. Who didn't and why not?

Nope. That might have been a later plot. If it wasn't it should have been.

Drat. My knowledge of Marvel history, or lack of it, is hurting me here Sasquatch, who was enthralled by Tundra?

Puck, because he simply couldn't get transportation fast enough? I think you missed this guess, thothy I'll guess Shaman, who had to go deal with something else?

Crumbs! Thanks Ibby! Because Chaim has not only the right answer, but the right reason too!
In an excellent debut issue, the members of Alpha have implants that will pick up alerts (I wonder if they were ever used to track members). So do two members of Beta FLight who were about to be promoted when the project was shelved: Marinna and Puck. While Marinna made her own way to the combat, Puck had to rely on transport. A guard refused him access to a flight, as he didn't recognise Puck form the pictures of Alpha he'd seen.
Over to you Chaim!

In one of the annual JLA-JSA crossovers, the Ultra-Humanite formed a new Secret Society of Super-Villains, 10 villains (himself included) who would each capture one member of either the JLA or of the JSA. In most cases, a villain from Earth-1 captured a JLA member and a villain from Earth-2 captured a JSA member. Which villain was the exception to this, and which hero did he or she capture?

It was a great story, and it had George Perez art, to boot!

Great art and story. Tricksy question The hero is Black Canary, because it would be revealed that she's the daughter of the original? The villain... Ultra humanite beat E2 Supes, Monocle beat E2 Hawkman, Rag Doll beat E2 Flash, Psycho Pirate beat Hourman. I nearly went with this as it's not the first Psycho Pirate. Someone beat Johnny Thunder. I'm guessing Brainwave. That leaves The Mist as the answer. Hopefully.

Mist and Black Canary are indeed the correct answers! (and your run-down of the JSAers and their villains is spot-on as well!)

And just for the record, the other villains and JLAers were Signalman - Batman (E1), Cheetah - Wonder Woman (E1), Floronic Man - Atom (E1) and Killer Frost - Firestorm.

^ Great story and question! I was about to guess Monocle because I couldn’t remember if it was the E-1 or E-2 Hawkman he fought.
