Probably. The whole page needs a major overhaul. You can bring up the topic here
for more info.
Agreed about the major overhaul. It’s complicated by the fact that there have been multiple "Captain Britain" characters and the way that Marvel UK used to run the (Brian Braddock) Captain Britain strips. Sometimes they were lead strips in their own title, sometimes they were just one more strip in an anthology.
With all that in mind, it feels like a good model might be…
- Comic page for Captain Britain Weekly (Brian), which exists
- Comic page for the long Captain Britain / Black Knight 'Otherworld' arc
- Comic page for A Crooked World arc (Brian, written by Dave Thorpe / Alan Moore), which ran across 3 titles
- Comic page for the Jamie Delano / Alan Davis stuff which ran across two titles, concluding in Captain Britain Monthly (between them, they wrote the whole run in that book).
- Character page for Brian Braddock
- Character entry for Kelsey Leigh, possibly on the Avengers character page, but linked from the CB ones? I don’t think she's got enough material to really warrant her own, but happy to be persuaded.
- Character page for Betsy Bradock covering Captain Britain and her Psylocke identity
…and possibly one page to pull it all together (Character? Franchise?), covering the Ultimate version, the Captain Britain corp and links to the stuff mentioned above?
Thoughts?

Well, Psylocke has her own page already. As for Brian, he's currently on the Captain Britain Corps page. To have a solo character page the article needs 40000 bytes to qualify. I think if the page is overhauled to be like Daredevil or the The Eternals that would be fine. Talking about the Character in all their iterations and each run that they have had.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!
I’ve had a quick go at condensing the intro, and I’ve now added some folders for the different works pages.
I’ll flesh out the Captain Britain Monthly page over the next day or two - just re-reading it now.
I’ll do the remainder of the Captain Britain Weekly works page after that, which should cover the Super Spider-Man and Captain Britain merged anthology title as well.
That just leaves the Hulk Comic Otherworld saga arc - which is firmly in Keep Circulating the Tapes territory (there are collections, but they’re out of print), at least until/unless the promised omnibus appears later this year. I’ve got at least some of it, but not sure exactly where, so can’t promise swift results on that.
This page should be moved to the Characters namespace.
