50 Years of Captain Britain & the Corps

Tied to: Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special (2026) #1

Brian Braddock debuted in Captain Britain Weekly #1 (October 1976) by Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe. Merlyn and his daughter Roma offered him the Amulet of Right or the Sword of Might, and when he chose the amulet he became Captain Britain.

Alan Moore and Alan Davis's early-'80s run grew that into the Captain Britain Corps, a guard of Captain Britains from across the Multiverse, all answering to Otherworld, the mystical realm Roma rules.

Brian's twin sister Betsy, better known as Psylocke, later took the title herself, and Marvel now calls both twins 'champions of the multiversal Captain Britain Corps.' The anniversary special includes stories by Claremont, Alan Davis, and Dan Abnett.
