Yukon Jack (Yukotujakzurjimozoata) is a member of Alpha Flight in the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Scott Lobdell and Clayton Henry, first appeared in Alpha Flight vol. 3, #1 (May 2004). He remained a member of the team through the series' conclusion in issue #12 (April 2005).
Within the context of the stories, Yukon Jack is a member of the superhero team Alpha Flight. He is a member of the Turpa'lurpa'todian tribes, specifically Kemteron. As a Turpa'lurpa'todian, he views himself as a demi-god, he makes references to his not being a normal human ("Greetings, Lady. I am a god among men.") and when electrocuted by Hiro Takachiho his skeleton showed few similarities to a normal human's. He went so far as to marry Snowbird, a proven goddess among men.
Yukon Jack was mentioned by Sasquatch, who said Jack was a mess because of all the time traveling business they had, presumably meaning that his wedding to the alternate Snowbird didn't go so well as first anticipated.[14]
