Motivation: Upholding the Good Occupation: Protector of Britain Resources {or Wealth}: 009

Skills: Accuracy (perception): 10, Gadgetry: 04, Scientist: 06 Advantages: Connoisseur, Expansive Headquarters, Lightning Reflexes, Popularity (UK only) Drawbacks: Secret Identity, Arrogant (see below) Connections: Elizabeth (Betsy) Braddock (High), Captain UK (High), Saturnyne (Low), Special Executive (Low)

Equipment: AMPLIFIER COSTUME [/DEX/ 08 /STR/ 09 /BODY/ 07, Flight: 10, Force Field: 04, Mystic Field: 04.Force and Mystic Fields are limited to range of self, and Brian may attack through them.If the costume is being used without the helmet, STR and all powers are reduced by 2 APs.Notes : The costume is a mixture of science and sorcery, although it can be repaired and duplicated as a normal gadget, as well as cosmetically altered.It should be noted, the Body attribute represents the suit amplifying Captain Britains natural toughness, and not the actual body of the material itself. however, as the suit can take quite a fair bit of damage itself, it has been practically destroyed and still working, Ive kept it with the Body 07)] Braddocks poor social skills : the Arrogant Drawback Captain Britain does have a tendency to talk down to people, and which point they ignore him ; he also tends to be a loner and trust only his own abilities.In game terms, this is the equivalent of a Socially inept drawback - plus the inability to benefit from Leadership, which is worth 5 points.

History
In another place lived an enigmatic being known as Merlin.His work was to protect the omniverse, through manipulation of others.To this aim, he created the Captain Britain Corps, defenders of the British Realm in many dimensions, numbering in the thousands.They were the champions of Merlin, whether they knew it or not.Merlin worked with another being who eventually retired and settled down to a normal life on Earth 616, the Marvel Universe Earth. This entity married and fathered three children, Jamie, Brian and Elizabeth. Brian was chosen to be this Earths champion by Merlin.Brian was a lonely child, never being very good at personal relationships with other people, and immersed himself into the study of science.As he grew older, he had several brief, unsatisfactory relationships with women, including one, Valerie, who he was with the night his parents were killed in an accident (although it was later revealed his parents were killed by Mastermind, a computer created by his father).Brian withdrew into himself even more. The pivotal point of his life was when he took a job at the Darkmoor Research Centre, during a break from university.The centre was attacked by the Reaver, and Brian attempted to flee. Merlin then bestowed powers upon Brian, turning him into Captain Britain, who defeated the Reaver.Brian continued his role of superhero, battling adversaries such as Slaymaster and Hurricane. Eventually, Brian faced more and more mystical enemies, and that, along with the fact his powers were also mystical in origin, pushed his rational scientific mind over the edge, and he turned quite mad. During an adventure with the Black Knight shortly after, Brian accepted the existence of magic alongside science, and regained his mind.Merlin decided he was ready for his first true test and sent him and an elfin companion, Jackdaw, to Earth 238.Captain Britain now had a costume which enhanced his physical abilities, gave him a force field and allowed him to fly. However, Earth 238 was a violent twisted place, where all the superheroes had been wiped out by a controlling government, and Captain Britain met resistance from the local forces.Brian met a powerful reality controlling mutant, Jim Jaspers, who was to blame for the state of Britain, and him and Jackdaw were both killed by Jaspers creation, the unstoppable Fury. Captain Britain had failed.

Merlin brought Brian back to life, and returned to his Earth. Captain Britain became a hero again, battling Mastermind, Slaymaster, the Fury (who had followed him to this Earth), and fighting in another dimension with the Special Executive, where he learned of the Captain Britain Corps.Shortly after, the James Jaspers of his Earth took control of the country with his reality powers, and Captain Britain faced him once more, and was defeated. Jaspers was killed by the Fury, and the Fury was in turn defeated. The battle, however, had taken the life of Merlin, whose place was taken by Roma, his daughter.

Description
Captain Britain has a large, well defined physique, radiating power. He has blonde hair, and is rather good looking, although not overly so.He always carries himself well, appearing fully confident in both himself and his powers.His costume is based on the Union Jack, a mix of red, white and blue.

Personality
Brian Braddock sees himself as a noble champion of Britain, with the responsibility of protecting this great country.He is always very confident.However, he is also arrogant, sometimes belittling to others, and has a quick temper.Brian truly believes he knows best, and can is sure he can handle any situation.Brian will quite often enter killing combat when he gets angry, or the opponent is endangering others.

DC Universe History
As Captain Britains exposure to mainstream Marvel heroes is very limited at this point in his career, his history would be pretty similar, if not the same. Printerfriendly version of the entry
