Brian Braddock has for the largest portion of his super hero life been known as Captain Britain.

After a long struggle with self doubt and an experience that led to his consciousness being spread across all of time, he finally settled down into his role and married the woman he loved.

He lost his powers in a battle with the Dragons of the Crimson Dawn but was later drawn into a conflict in his Father's home Dimension of Otherworld, which ended when he took the throne.

After the death of his twin sister Betsy, Brian has given up his throne and returned to the role of Captain Britain.

Meggan was raised by a family of Gypsies which kept her in their caravan when her shape-shifting powers gave her fur in a cold winter.

She was captured during the event known as the Jaspers Warp and placed in an internment camp, escaping when the Warp ended.

She was lost on the streets of London and became a champion of the helpless, which led her into contact with Captain Britain.

When they fell in love Meggan's empathic powers changed her form into that of a beautiful woman.

After their marriage Meggan tries to support her husband through his troubles while carving out a life of her own.

Afterward she adventured with the X-Men using the code-name Psylocke.

After a journey through the mystical Siege Perilous, Betsy fell into the hands of the Hand, who swapped her mind with one of their assassins and she was given to the crime lord known as the Mandarin.

She was rescued by Wolverine and she returned to the X-Men in her new Asian body.

When Storm led a group of X-Men after Destiny's Diaries, Betsy was killed defending Rogue and Beast from the man known only as Vargas.

Her soul is currently help prisoner on the Astral Plane by the Shadow King.

Clarice Ferguson was born into the horror of the Age of Apocalypse, a nightmare reality that should never have existed.

When that world was set right, Clarice became unstuck in time and adventured with a team of people who had also become unstuck in time and had to fix other timelines if they ever wanted to get home, they called themselves the Exiles.

Clarice completed her mission but she could not go home as the AoA no longer existed, she floated in limbo until she discovered a tear in Limbo and was able to use her powers to port out.

Now thanks to Tony Stark, who created a new identity for her, Clarice attempts to start a new life as a member of Excalibur.

BLINK

To protect his interests abroad and to act as a liaison for the Avengers in the event of an incident that required them, Tony Stark decided to place an Iron Man in each of his major branch offices around the world.

After an exhaustive selection process John Anderson was selected to be the Iron Man for the United Kingdom.

John is a bookish man, more comfortable behind a desk than in a suit of enhancement armour and it took Tony Stark asking him as a personal favour to take on the role of Iron Man to get him in the suit.
