Marvel Legends Secret War Captain America Quick Review

Because overthrowing foreign government requires new threads

Welcome to a quick review of the Marvel Legends Secret War Captain America from their Abomination BAF series.

This is the uniform that Captain America wore when he was recruited by Nick Fury - along with Wolverine, Daredevil, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Black Widow and Daisy "Quake" Johnson - off on a mission to overthrow Latveria's then rightful ruler, Prime Minister Lucia von Bardas.

Unfortunately Nick Fury wiped their memories of the mission following their attack on Latveria - which pisses off the heroes later when they find out.

Because of this private war, Nick Fury would lose his post as the head of SHIELD. Secret War was a five issue comic book series that ran from 2004-2005, written by Brian Michael Bendis and brought to life by Artist Gabriele Dell'Otto)

Marvel Legends Captain Britain

Together, we will guard the gates of reality

Presenting Captain Britain from the Marvel Legends Captain America Abomination BAF series.

To the uninitiated, Captain Britain is Brian Braddock, the fraternal twin of the mutant Betsy Braddock, Psylocke - who he really isn't very fond of since he found out that she was a member of X-Force and hunted down and killed bad-guys.

Following the death of his parents, Brian was working in Darkmoor nuclear facility when it was attacked by the villain known as the Reaver. Attempting to escape to get help, Brian is mortally wounded. He is then confronted by Merlyn and the Guardian of the Omniverse, Roma and the dying Brain is asked to choose between the Sword of Might or the Amulet of Right.

Brian chooses the Amulet and becomes Captain Britain - the "Protector of the entire bloody Omniverse", imbued with Superhuman strength, speed, endurance, agility, durability, reflexes, and senses as well as the the abilities to fly, project destructive energy beams and generate force fields. We should note that Kelsey Leigh chose the Sword of Might and still also became Captain Britain (Lionheart, The one who would become an Avenger, not a Secret Avenger).

As of this writing, Captain Britain is supposedly the last surviving member of the Captain Britain Corp following the universal incursions that unified the Marvel Universe.
