Captain Britain

Captain Britain – who, believe it or not, is British – is a Marvel hero and the alter-ego of Brian Braddock. Given his name alone, there is absolutely no way that his origins could possibly be ignored if he was adapted into a movie, but he is also unequivocally British in many other ways.

He was granted his powers by the famous wizard Merlin of British legend and was assigned to enforce and uphold the laws of Great Britain itself.

He possesses super-strength, speed and durability, as well as flight, the ability to fire energy blasts and the ability to erect force fields. He has been a member of the Secret Avengers and often works with the British intelligence agency MI-13. He is currently a member of the Illuminati in the comic books.

If the British Prime Minister becomes a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (rumours suggest Martin Freeman could be playing him), some British heroes may well be introduced – and if one of them is Captain Britain, that would be awesome.
