Brian Braddock is the older twin brother of Elizabeth and younger sibling to elder brother Jamie. Unkown to his children, thier father was actually a native to the other-dimensional Otherworld and agent of its ruler Merlyn.

Braddock fought crime and injustice in the UK for many years battling against his Major Enemies alongside S.T.R.I.K.E., Nick Fury, Captain America and Spiderman. Surviving a fall from a plane into the Atlantic Ocean he spent several amnesiac months living as hermit on the coast of Cornwall before Merlyn sent the Black Knight to awaken his memories and bring him to Otherworld.

There Brian battled the forces of Necromon aiding in the revival of King Arthur. Arthur then dispatched him back to Earth with a new ally, Jackdaw, saying that he had another, greater, task to undertake.

With his costume and powers transformed en-route, Captain Britain and Jackdaw landed in a Britain run by a facist regime. In the ensuing battle first Jackdaw and then Britain himself died at the hand of Fury, a cyborb designed by Jaspers to be the ultimate super-human killer.

Merlyn rebuilt Britain from his remains (a rag, a bone, a hank of hair) and returned him to his own dimension, unaware of his death as part of the "Captain Britain Corps".

Facing Jaspers once again, Braddock turned Fury against his maker, draining him sufficiently for Captain Britain and Captain UK to finally bring Jaspers to account.

Afterward Braddock continued to adventure as Captain Britiain and soon encountered Meggan, his future fiance. Briefly retiring, Braddock's sister "Betsy" took command of his role and suit.

Her death at the hand of Slaymaster plunged Brian into a drunken depression that only Meggan could revive him from. Forming the super-hero team Excalibur, Captain Britain re-emerged, defeating and imprisoning Slaymaster before marrying Meggan and returning to Otherworld as Gaurdian of the Multiverse.
