Captain Britain is overlooked despite being where the main Marvel universe's number was 1st dropped, having a team of multiverse counterparts before Deadpool and Spider-man, And the fact of who his sister ends up becoming.
It doesn't help that generally speaking he's based in Britain which means he's away from all North American/US focused happenings. Outside the US must be relatively peaceful most of the time, except when someone in New York is destroying the world, altering the timeline, or the universe at large, lol.
As a Brit myself, I always appreciate it whenever any of the Captain Britains are given the spotlight. Brian in particular is interesting in that he's one of those characters who seems to be in a perpetual state of deconstruction and reconstruction. Which you would think would be a detriment. But its actually very fitting given who he is. Captain Britain is a symbol of Great Britain... in that he is the symbol of a crumbling empire.
You see, when there's consistency there will be quality! I love how all the thumbnails are the same design and you also give comics issues in the description. None of the other Channels on YT do this. Thanks!!!
Gotta love how many heroes learn their responsibilities - their parents die, their wives, and boyfriends die.... Captain Britain is kicked out of the apartment.
Loved this. Always enjoyed Brian when I’ve read him but he’s one of those characters I’m not familiar with and this was great. Really looking forward to more
More great memories. Guys like him and Black Knight were loved by kids like me who grew up on books like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Thanks for the videos man. Excelsior!
Hello there Merry Marvelite. I just wanted to apologize for the tardiness of this comment, but when this video was posted I was busy at work and had no time to check the video out, until now. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for this great new video. I really enjoyed the information that it provided and really appreciate you taking the time and care to create it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next time. Until then please stay safe and healthy. Peace Out and Above All Excelsior.
Definitely would like to see a Psylocke video. A couple of other ideas you could also do are: -Amora the Enchantress -Omega Red (Remake) -Whirlwind -Justin Hammer -Venom -Iron Man Origins
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Are you going to do history of the Captain Britain Corps, Excalibur team and other British characters?
Great video diving deep into the backstory of before the hero became a hero. All the Merlin info felt like a second mini video included in the main one. Captain Britain needs a part 2. You were just getting to the good stuff when this one ended. How about a video on a future teammate of Captain Britain, my favorite multiversal immigrant to the 616 universe, RACHEL SUMMERS. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
Back in the day when I was a kid growing up in Paris Marvel comic books were translated by a company called "Lug Publisher" that sold them in various formats... One day I went to my usual newsstand to get my Comic books and I saw this strange new character called "Captain Britain" with a flashy costume and the Union Jack on it, I bought it and I was instantly hooked 😁😁😁 The Captain Britain comic books were the original stories with the character's origin and 8 or more stories presented as a graphic novel... Over the years my Marvel comic book collection grew and still grows and I bought all the Captain Britain stuff I could find... If there ever was a Captain Britain movie one day I'd be overjoyed...Hell, even a TV show would be great... We can dream, can't we 🙂🙂🙂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ?
You should definitely follow up! I like when you branch off and find some heroes/villains with larger amount of cool history but less in the mainstream!
Looking forward to future episodes on characters created by Chris Claremont like Betsy Braddock, Black Tom Cassidy, Forge, Hellfire Club, Shadow King, Rachel Summers, etc
Can you do history of the A-Force, Frightful Four, Excalibur team, the Ultimates team, Serpent Society, Fraternity of Raptors, the Annihilators, the Invaders, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?
What is really weird, I was just researching and watching your old video on Captain Britain like a week ago cause I drew a concept art for him for Marvel Rivals
What do you think is the best thing about Merlin and Roma in the comics compared to the Ancient One? Do you think Bernard Hill would have been the best choice in playing Merlin in the MCU if he didn't pass away?
Can you do history of the Grim Reaper, Quicksilver, Devondra, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Palibok the Power Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?
Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Reptil, Kid-Kaiju, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?
2:16 Of course that flaming space chicken was involved!!! It's almost always involved in something important!!! I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed!!!
Can you do history of the Brood, the Living Monolith, Hyperion, Star-Splendor, Plasma, Hisako Ichiki Armor, Jackal, Stingray, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Orb, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kitty Pryde, Yotat, Dr.Faustus, Omega the Unknown and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universal?
Wow, for once Peter Parker get's to look down his nose at someone else for being irresponsible. Definetely would like a part 2. Also Would love a video on Betsy Brodock.
What would have happened if we saw Captain Britain make his MCU debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and is Henry Cavill the best choice in playing him?
How long till you finish doing White Tiger : Legacy of the Tiger by doing the history of Ava Ayala White Tiger who's the daughter of Hector Ayala White Tiger? Can you do history of Intelligencia in honor of the She-Hulk Disney Plus show?
What would have happened if Brian Braddock chose the sword instead of the Amulet? Would he have been like Guillotine and Black Knight? What would happen if he fought against them?
I think this scenario was explored in the House of M alternate timeline. As for actually happened, I can't say. I havent gotten around to reading it myself.
You'll need to go deeper into Brian at some point, considering that he's technically the origin of the Marvel Omniverse and by that same token, the MCU. ...Might want to skip Brittanic though.
No, I prefer the original costume myself. The later costumes just --! They're not memorable. The look of the costume keeps changing because the later designs IMHO are fairly bland. There were a lot of good character designs from Marvel that debuted in the 1970s. I think despite the funkiness of some of these designs they've held up BETTER than redesigns for the likes of Spider-Woman 1, Black Widow, Luke Cage/Power Man, and Wolverine (Gil Kane/Giant Size X-Men 1 cover; the original "kitty mask" John Romita, Sr. designed for him WAS ridiculous!!!). I prefer the red color scheme, lion crest, and Union Jack mask on the original Captain Britain costume. This original costume is also the Captain Britain bust (variant) I ended up buying years ago when Bowen Designs offered it. The reason why the costume was changed later on was because Alan Davis didn't like drawing it. Davis is the artist responsible for the second Britain costume seen in the Marvel UK series as well as the third Captain Britain costume that debuted in the original Excalibur comic book series.
Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?
Captain britain is a bundle of snakes as far as continuity. The entire character needs to be scrapped and started over. The u.k team REALLY messed this character up.

A Part two is very needed and desired.
Please and thank you, Merry Marvelite!
NOBODY CONNECTS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOGETHER LIKE MERRY MARVELITE .. WHICH IS WHY THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' ..
As a Brit myself, I always appreciate it whenever any of the Captain Britains are given the spotlight.
Brian in particular is interesting in that he's one of those characters who seems to be in a perpetual state of deconstruction and reconstruction. Which you would think would be a detriment. But its actually very fitting given who he is. Captain Britain is a symbol of Great Britain... in that he is the symbol of a crumbling empire.
Yes, he is easily by far my favorite.
All of this old school artwork is just so beautiful. I miss it so much 😢
I am definitely looking forward to a Part Two!
You see, when there's consistency there will be quality!
I love how all the thumbnails are the same design and you also give comics issues in the description.
None of the other Channels on YT do this.
Thanks!!!
Gotta love how many heroes learn their responsibilities - their parents die, their wives, and boyfriends die.... Captain Britain is kicked out of the apartment.
Thanks!
Loved this. Always enjoyed Brian when I’ve read him but he’s one of those characters I’m not familiar with and this was great. Really looking forward to more
Would love a part 2 this is my favorite you've done so far
Great video!! I want the continuation!!
thank you for covering one of my favourite characters!!
More great memories. Guys like him and Black Knight were loved by kids like me who grew up on books like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Thanks for the videos man. Excelsior!

More on this topic please. 😊
Part 2 please! It was just getting good! Maybe also something on Betsy and how she got body swapped with Kwanon
Definitely would like to see a Psylocke video. A couple of other ideas you could also do are:
-Amora the Enchantress
-Omega Red (Remake)
-Whirlwind
-Justin Hammer
-Venom
-Iron Man Origins

We can dream, can't we 🙂🙂🙂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ?
A french person who likes the Brits. Guess there really is a first time for everything 😂😂😂
@_Y.J I love the UK and I personally think you have the most beautiful flag in the world...
When mastermind was first named, I misheard it as mastermold and was so confused.
What a great team up 14:23
Thanks for the amazing video
❤ he like Captain America 🇺🇸
Thanks as always Merry
Please make video on Marvel Comics SASQUATCH
Yes. Def need more on any spin offs !! 😊
Please do a part two!
Oh captain Britain is awesome history, always overlooked
You should definitely follow up!

"It's chewsday innit?"
I don’t know if you take recommendations but I would love a video on crime master
5:30 This reminds me of
*Kid Briton* from Avengers Arena.
21:05 So that explains why his most prominent suit looked the way that it did!!!
What is really weird, I was just researching and watching your old video on Captain Britain like a week ago cause I drew a concept art for him for Marvel Rivals
I'm just wondering if there will be a biography of Union Jack that will be made.
What would have happened if we saw Captain Britain outside the comics in all the Animated Shows of the X-Men like X-Men 97?
He’s had animated cameos
What do you think is the best thing about Merlin and Roma in the comics compared to the Ancient One? Do you think Bernard Hill would have been the best choice in playing Merlin in the MCU if he didn't pass away?
What's up with the Mastermind computer being evil that it killed Brian's parents?
Gotta do Arcade soon. Also, Sligguth.💯
Brilliant job 👍😂❤
Excellent!!
Can you do history of the Grim Reaper, Quicksilver, Devondra, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Palibok the Power Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?
Since you did the History of the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Ultimo as well as the Shang-Chi villain known as the Death_Dealer?
Cover the Brood, please
Betsy Braddock sometime soon would be great. Thank you.
Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Reptil, Kid-Kaiju, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?
Not a bad idea but it's all up to him.
I’m anxious to hear about Whiplash’s backstory, or Titanium Man.
We want part 2❤
2:16 Of course that flaming space chicken was involved!!! It's almost always involved in something important!!! I don't know whether to be happy or annoyed!!!
pls do a part 2
Can you do history of the Brood, the Living Monolith, Hyperion, Star-Splendor, Plasma, Hisako Ichiki Armor, Jackal, Stingray, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Orb, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kitty Pryde, Yotat, Dr.Faustus, Omega the Unknown and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universal?
Has this platform covered Joey Chapman?
Please do more
yes please we want more
Part 2 is obligated. We can't end with Mad Jaspers intro.
I’d like more on mad Jim jaspers!
16:21 So does that make this guy a Werepire??? A Werewolf Vampire hybrid??? Marvel comics are so weird yet entertaining at the same time!!!
Go on and continue
great video! i would love to see more!
Fingers crossed they can get Cavill to play him in the MCU especially with how perfect his body and accent would already be
More Captain Britain!!
Wow, for once Peter Parker get's to look down his nose at someone else for being irresponsible.
Definetely would like a part 2. Also Would love a video on Betsy Brodock.
What would have happened if we saw Captain Britain make his MCU debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and is Henry Cavill the best choice in playing him?
I would have lost my mind, that's what would have happened. I'd rather have Taron Egerton playing him, though.
Interesting character d.w
This gunna be a good one!!! Let’s go! 🇬🇧
What's up with Nekrom and Feron with Merlin along with Otherworld in the Omniverse? Who's the best member of the Captain Britain Corps?
I want to hear more
Who do you think is the best villain who fought either Captain Britain or Merlin?
What do you think is the best thing about Captain Britain in the comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Mad Jim Jaspers please!
I guess my puppy waking me up in the middle of the night does have an upside
Captain Britain 🇬🇧
It's all about magic.
He's one of my favorite non-American heroes.
Who’s one of your others? Sunfire? Darkstar?
@impureneighbour9792 Banshee. Sunspot. Wolfsbane.
How long till you finish doing White Tiger : Legacy of the Tiger by doing the history of Ava Ayala White Tiger who's the daughter of Hector Ayala White Tiger? Can you do history of Intelligencia in honor of the She-Hulk Disney Plus show?
5:24 Let me guess: and this team was The Captain Britain Corps, right??? And ironically enough no spider-UK!!!
Could you also talk about his sister bettsy a lot of people don’t know this but his sister is the hero phsylock😊
I have a whole box of Excalibur I'd be will to part with for fair trade.
I was a regular reader fir a looong time.
Do the fantastic fours mail man
Is it going to be a good hero? I hope he look like a good hero. He is a strong person like a hero is like.
Now do a video on Betsy Braddock aka Psylocke
What would have happened if Brian Braddock chose the sword instead of the Amulet? Would he have been like Guillotine and Black Knight? What would happen if he fought against them?
I think this scenario was explored in the House of M alternate timeline. As for actually happened, I can't say. I havent gotten around to reading it myself.
Hey 👋🏿
Exactly how many individuals in the Marvel Universe have the name “James”?
You'll need to go deeper into Brian at some point, considering that he's technically the origin of the Marvel Omniverse and by that same token, the MCU.
...Might want to skip Brittanic though.
Am I the only one who prefers his very first costume?!
No, I prefer the original costume myself.
The later costumes just --! They're not memorable. The look of the costume keeps changing because the later designs IMHO are fairly bland.
There were a lot of good character designs from Marvel that debuted in the 1970s. I think despite the funkiness of some of these designs they've held up BETTER than redesigns for the likes of Spider-Woman 1, Black Widow, Luke Cage/Power Man, and Wolverine (Gil Kane/Giant Size X-Men 1 cover; the original "kitty mask" John Romita, Sr. designed for him WAS ridiculous!!!).

The reason why the costume was changed later on was because Alan Davis didn't like drawing it. Davis is the artist responsible for the second Britain costume seen in the Marvel UK series as well as the third Captain Britain costume that debuted in the original Excalibur comic book series.
Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?
Later Captain Britain meet his greatest enemy yet - Brexitor
Ah yes, omniversal british empire
So all the Crisis events were these people's fault, or they really suck at their job.
Do a story on a black character 👍🏿
Henry Cavill will not play him in the MCU. I won't allow for it to happen.
Unsubscribing, 2 minute long commercials. NOPE
Captain britain is a bundle of snakes as far as continuity.
The entire character needs to be scrapped and started over.
The u.k team REALLY messed this character up.
Cap'n Bri'ish 🇬🇧🍵🌂
Kommandant Englander 😑
Please merry marvelette we need a part 2..
