She was a prisoner in the Starlight Citadel before becoming Franklin Richards' nanny on Earth-616 as well as a spy for Roma. He eventually attempted to retire due to dissatisfaction with the Corps, but was forced to continue his activities for a brief time by his suit even past his own death. [39] While not the biggest fan of Tini Howard's writing, I do appreciate the worldbuilding she's done for Otherworld which is now a great location for the mutant books and the Marvel Universe at large with plenty left to explore.

Material from Captain Britain (Vol. 1) #1-2, Marvel Team-Up (Vol. 1) #65-66, Hulk Comic #1, #3-5, #57-59, The bottom line is that Marvel allowed and sponsored (no doubt under pressure from young British creatives) a unique and stand-alone super-hero who could be periodically integrated into the Marvel Universe and has been ever since. Not only is this omnibus a good place to start reading Captain Britain comics, but I think it’s the best place. This massive tome starts at the very beginning and collects pretty much every appearance of the character before Excalibur (with the odd exception of those Captain America issues). Today, Captain Britain is possible but problematic. To be true to his creation could place him unwittingly somewhere on the nice side of the national populist camp but to deny his 'national meaning' could be to make him a laughable 'woke' nonentity, an add-on to a plethora of US heroes.

The 'sequel' by Jamie Delano is engaging until it falls prey to delving into the character of Meggan (for which I have never held an affinity).

He appeared in a one-off solo strip written by Alan Moore for the small press title Mad Dog in 1986. [33] His Earth is portrayed as a similar type of world to that of Orwell's novel 1984. He was among the members of the Corps slaughtered by Mastermind and the Warpies. [34] A former member of the Captain Britain Corps, he became the leader of the Web Warriors during the Spider-Verse event, but dying in Spider-Geddon. That lasts for 14 issues, and the series pretty much wraps up here. The post-Moore stories aren’t as tightly woven as Moore’s run, but they’re still well worth reading. Mighty World of Marvel #14 introduces Meggan, who Excalibur readers are surely familiar with, and I found issue #4 of Captain Britain (titled “Sid’s Story”) to be a personal highlight of the latter portion of the series. X-Men Annual #11. The whole tempted by their greatest desire trope gets old, and I’m really not convinced by some of these “desires”. Nonetheless, this is a surprisingly good story with a great ending [6+/10]. Some later iterations seem to avoid 'politics' by emphasising the magical elements of his origin story although he subsequently gets integrated into the Avengers' story lines and is certainly not allowed to die off as an integral character although never again one of the top-liners.
