Captain Britain
Born in the small town of Malden, Essex, Brian was a graduate student in physics, in advance of his years, at England's Thames University.
His parents had been killed years before by a creation of his father, the Mastermind computer.
Working under his mentor Dr. Travis at the Darkmoor Research Centre during the holidays, he was present when the mercenary Reaver and his men raided the facility to kidnap the scientists there.
Escaping with the intention to get help, Brian fled on a motorbike, but was run off the road.
Bleeding to death, Brian was approached by Merlin and his daughter Roma, who told him that he could live if he became Britain's next great champion.
They offered Brian a choice: The Amulet of Right (or Life) or the Sword of Might (or Death).
Being a scholar and not conceiving of himself as a warrior, Brian chose the Amulet.
He then became Captain Britain, complete with costume and super-powers, as well as a staff, which was later replaced by Merlin with a 'Star Sceptre' that enabled him to fly.
Moments later, the Reaver arrived and, claiming the sword, was transformed into an armored knight with tremendous strength.
Captain Britain nonetheless defeated him, meeting his first challenge as a hero with courage and surprising skill.
