Captain Britain

Captain Britain is a superhero published by Marvel Comics. First appearing in Captain Britain Weekly #1 (13 October 1976), Captain Britain was the first original character created for the imprint Marvel UK, despite the fact that the creative team who wrote and drew the stories were all American. No one knew who actually created Captain Britain, with Herb Trimpe remarking that the visual design looks like the work of John Romita, Sr., who designed many of Marvel's characters at the time. Brian Braddock lived a quiet life alongside his parents and siblings (his twin sister Betsy and older brother Jamie). Belonging to an old aristocratic family, Brian led a lonely life, as he was too proud to fraternise with people of lower classes. Brian was working at a Darkmoor nuclear research facility when terrorists, led by Joshua Stragg (otherwise known as "The Reaver"), attacked the laboratory. Brian tried to get help but he’s injured after crashing his motorcycle, and nearly died. It is then that Merlyn and his daughter Roma appears before him. He was given the chance to become Captain Britain. He must make a choice, however. He must chose either the Amulet of Right or the Sword of Might. Brian chose the amulet over the sword, transforming him into Captain Britain.
