About Me
Born in the small town of Malden, Essex, I was a graduate student in physics, in advance of my years, at England's Thames University. Working under my mentor Dr Travis at the Darkmoor Research Centre during the holidays, I was present when the mercenary Reaver and his men raided the facility to kidnap the scientists there. Escaping with the intention to get help, I fled on a motorbike, but was run off the road.
Bleeding to death, I was approached by Merlin and his daughter Roma, who told me that I could live if I became Britain's next great champion! They offered me a choice: The Amulet of Right (or Life) or the Sword of Might (or Death). Being a scholar and not conceiving of myself as a warrior, I chose the Amulet.
I 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 me to fly. Moments later, the Reaver arrived and, claiming the sword, was transformed into an armoured knight with tremendous strength. I nonetheless defeated him, meeting my first challenge as a hero with courage and surprising skill.
