Captain Britain

The Marvel Cinematic Universe already has Captain America, so why not Captain Britain as well? The British character is far less popular than his United States counterpart, but he’s far more powerful and definitely warrants at least getting his own television show – and it would add a really different tone to the MCU.

He is Brian Braddock and he was granted his powers by the famous wizard Merlin of British legend. Merlin found Braddock when he was injured, after having crashed his motorcycle whilst looking for help when the nuclear research centre he was working in was attacked. Merlin empowered him, giving him the chance to become the heroic Captain Britain, and he was assigned to enforce and uphold the laws of Great Britain itself.

He possesses great super-strength, speed and durability, the ability to fire energy blasts, the ability to erect force fields and he can fly. He often works with the British intelligence agency MI-13.

A British-based television show with traditional mystical origins would make a pleasant change (even Agent Carter is set in the United States, despite the titular character being British) and Captain Britain could go on to work alongside the Avengers, the Illuminati or even the Captain Britain Corps in the wider MCU.
