--> --'''Brian Braddock'''

* ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''

** Merlin revived Brian again after he died in battle with the Skrulls during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''.

** When Brian is (temporarily) killed during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', it's said that everyone in Britain felt it.

* ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}''

* ''ComicBook/NewExcalibur''

* TheChosenMany: Captain Britain is part of the multiversal Captain Britain Corps in the ''Comicbook/{{Excalibur}}'' series, where each different Britain in the Marvel multiverse has one to defend the country. Most of them are different versions of Brian Braddock, but this isn't always the case. Since there's one for almost every reality, not every Captain Britain is Caucasian, male, or even good for that matter. There have been at least two Nazis in the role, since they technically represent the ideals of their Britain. Also Captain Granbretan and Captain Angleterre, who come from Britain's that had been conquered by Napoleon. More esoteric Captains Britain have included [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Captain Airstrip-One]], [[TRexpy Britanicus Rex]], [[UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire Centurion Britannus]], [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain Colonies]], [[Comicbook/SpiderMan Spider-UK]], and at least two Skrulls. Oh, and Captain UsefulNotes/{{Wales}}.

* NoEnding: Anything involving Captain Britain. Alan Moore's departure, the cancellation of the original strip, and the final issue of {{ComicBook/Excalibur}} all end with a tag saying "Never The End" instead of "The End". This may be a reference to King Arthur, who Brian was often compared to, and whose own tombstone noted that his story wasn't over yet.

Shortly after Moore left the series, it was relaunched as the lead story in its own 1985 anthology title, ''ComicBook/CaptainBritainMonthly''. This marked the last time the Marvel UK line published a solo Captain Britain comic and, as of March 2022, the last time Marvel has ever published a Captain Britain solo series.

Around this time, Captain Britain's creator Chris Claremont, who was then writing the ''ComicBook/XMen'', started to use Brian and Betsy in those comics, raising the characters’ profile for Marvel readers outside the UK. Betsy, as ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, became a long-serving member of the X-Men and Brian became a founding member of new X-team ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}''.
