->''For Queen and Country!
''The Union'' is a 2021 [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] comic book written by Paul Grist, with art by Grist and Andrea Di Vito.
Britannia, Britain's greatest superhero, has decided now is the right time to finally form a superhero team made up of superheroes from all four parts of the United Kingdom:
* ComicBook/UnionJack (Joe Chapman) representing England.
* Snakes, a mysterious super strong man representing Northern Ireland
* Kelpie, an ancient water demon, representing Scotland.
* And the Choir, a former supervillain named Skreem, representing Wales.
Unfortunately, their first mission (which is really just a recruiting drive) is interrupted by an [[ComicBook/KingInBlack invasion of symbiote dragons]]. The team manages to fight one off, but Britannia is killed, leaving Union Jack in charge.
And boy does he not want to be.

!Tropes found in ''The Union'':
* BadassNormal: Of all the members of the team, Union Jack is the only one with no powers, but he doesn't let that stop him.
* TheBigGuy: Snakes is the biggest one on the team and has SuperStrength to boot.
* CaptainPatriotic: Both Britannia and Union Jack.
* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: One of the ways the team is funded is through Darwintech and their owner, Steve Darwin.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Issue 2's cover shows Britannia beating up Union Jack. Not only does this ''not'' happen, [[spoiler:Britannia is dead throughout the issue]].
* HeelFaceTurn: The second issue shows how the Choir previously used to be a supervillain called "Skreem," until Britannia gave her a chance to be on the team.
* MakeMeWannaShout: The Choir's powers are sound based.
* MakingASplash: Kelpie, being an "ancient water demon," can control all water.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Britannia is called "the greatest British superhero" even though this is her first appearance and that's generally reserved for ComicBook/CaptainBritain.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of the second issue, since Britannia is dead and she was the only thing keeping them there, Snakes, Kelpie, and the Choir all quit the team, leaving only Union Jack.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Britannia's very first appearance is the first issue...and she ''dies'' at the end of it. This ends up subverted, however, as there are continuing flashbacks to when she was alive and recruiting the team.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kelphie has pink hair, despite being an "ancient water demon." The Choir has a streak of green hair, too.
