Although Reed Richards promised to restore them to their own bodies, Walt Samson was still with Alpha Flight when the team pretended to work alongside the mutant-extermination coalition Orchis. In reality, they were rounding up mutants to evacuate them from Earth (see Alpha Flight miniseries, 2023). He was part of the support team helping with the evacuation and was not apprehended along with Guardian, Puck, Shaman, and Snowbird.
