Enemies
Monarch
James "Jamie" Braddock Jr. / Monarch
Notable Aliases: King Jamie Braddock of Avalon
Nationality: English
Species: Half-Otherworlder, Half-Human Mutant
First Appearance: Captain Britain #9
The eldest child of the Braddock family, Jamie is ten years older than his twin brother and sister Brian and Betsy. A successful businessman and race car driver, Jamie nevertheless had many demons and fell into a life of crime to pay off his debts. He eventually went mad while being tortured for his crimes, which caused his mutant ability to warp reality at his whim to manifest. After being brought back to life on Krakoa, he entered into an alliance with Apocalypse to become the King of Avalon, one of the Fair Court provinces of Otherworld.
- Back from the Dead: He has been revived by the Five on Krakoa, much to his sibling's shock. He is somewhat saner than when he died, but that isn't saying much.
- Beard of Evil: Now he has a goatee and he can be quite evil depending on his mood.
- Beware the Silly Ones: He's... odd, even at the best of times, but he's also one of the most powerful mutants in the world.
- Black Sheep: While the rest of the Braddock family are all heroes, Jamie is an asshole and criminal.
- Cain and Abel: Brian left him to die after he discovered Jamie was involved in running drugs and the slave trade, as he could not bring himself to kill Jamie personally. When Jamie went mad and manifested his power he tried to off his siblings a few times, but while allied with them defending Otherworld from what turned out to be a future version of himself he was killed by Betsy possessing Brian, who had once again been unable kill Jamie himself.
- Cool Horse: Ever since he became King of Avalon, he has taken a liking to ride or be accompanied by a unicorn every chance he gets.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: He has aided and fought his family in equal measure, but tends to land on the heel side of the equation.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Well, not heroic as such but he did once give his life to fight off the First Forsaken, an evil counterpart of the Phoenix. Jamie eventually reappeared, very much not dead.
- Jerkass: Even when he's not being outright evil, he tends to be an absolute Troll.
- Neck Snap: To wipe an evil version of Jamie from the future who was attempting to conquer Otherworld from the timeline, Betsy possessed Brian and made him break present-day Jamie's neck, erasing the future version.
- Psychopathic Man Child: Both Betsy and Brian identify this as his main problem, as he's never really grown up, always looking for the easy way to fame and fortune and his own entertainment, no matter the impact on everybody else.
- Reality Warper: He is an Omega-level mutant who can see the strings of quantum reality and alter them as he wishes.
- Traumatic Superpower Awakening: While in a race with some friends, Jamie was captured by some very nasty people to who he owed a lot of money, and wished to collect. They tortured Jamie, which activated his powers... and snapped his mind.
The Fury
The Fury
Notable Aliases: Fury-Prime
Nationality: English
Species: Robot
First Appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes (UK) #387
One of Mad Jim Jaspers creations, used to kill off all of the superhumans. It worked too well, and eventually turned on its creator and forced the man to seal him away.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: The Fury's first battle with Captain Britain. It kills him. For real.
- The Determinator: Not even the destruction of its home universe could stop it from continuing its mission to kill all superhumans.
- Hero Killer: Its entire reason for existing. It even successfully kills Brian and Jackdaw, and Merlyn had to intervene and resurrect Brian himself.
- Knight of Cerebus: The series' sense of danger spiked dramatically when the Fury showed up.
- The Juggernaut: It cannot be stopped by any normal means. The original Fury could only be destroyed after it damaged itself travelling to the void of its original home dimension to dispose of the 616 version of Jim Jaspers, and then back again. Even then, it took both Captain Britain and Captain UK to destroy it for good, otherwise, it would just have regenerated in time.
- Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: During the fight against the reality-warping 616 Jim Jaspers, the Fury's inner "monologue" shows that it would have been destroyed by this point had it still been the same as it was when it first arrived in this dimension, but by this point, it had adapted from its dimensional trip, the fights it had experienced so far, and absorbing the computer under Captain Britain's mansion. It actually survives being inside the Sun briefly!
- Robotic Psychopath: The Fury does exactly what it was programmed to do: Kill all Superhumans. With the exception of the Mad Jim Jaspers of its home reality, that is.
- Turned Against Their Masters: The narration reveals that the Fury desired to destroy its creator, the original Jaspers, because of his status as a mutant, but its programming forced it to obey him. Upon encountering the 616 Jaspers, it realizes it's not the same man as its creator, and thus it's perfectly within its programming to kill him.
- Villain Decay: In its first appearance it killed all the superheroes of an entire world, (including Miracleman!) so naturally everything after was a major step down. Still, it (or other Furies) has only returned twice or so, and has never been less than a total Oh, Crap! moment.
- Viva La Evolution: It adapts. By the time it's finally destroyed, it's even stronger than it was when it destroyed Earth-238.
Mad Jim Jaspers
Mad Jim Jaspers
Alter Ego: Sir James Jaspers
Notable Aliases: Jimmy, Mad Jim, The Reality Butcher, The Crooked Man, Lord Jim, The Crooked God
Nationality: English
Species: Human Mutant
First Appearance: Daredevils #7
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party, Jim Jaspers was anti-superhero and superhuman. However, he was secretly a mutant himself with Omega-level reality-altering powers. Although eventually defeated, Mad Jim Jaspers has a habit of returning from the dead. Currently, he is the ruler of the Crooked Market, a Foul Court province of Otherworld.
- Alliterative Name: Jim Jaspers.
- Back from the Dead: Twice, possibly. A (not the) Jim Jaspers was the prosecution at Magneto's trial, and it was implied he was a "new" un-powered Jaspers created by the universe to avoid a paradox. (It is commonly believed Chris Claremont was establishing him here in order to eventually be the villain of the "Fall Of The Mutants" arc, but this never quite came to pass, and the Adversary showed up instead.) Later, Claremont successfully brought the original Jaspers back as part of the "Die By The Sword" arc,.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's not known as Mad Jim Jaspers for nothing. Once he began using his powers on a larger scale, they quickly drove him insane.
- Comicbook Fantasy Casting: Visually based on Terry-Thomas.
- Evil Brit: British and one of the evilest enemies of Captain Britain.
- Evil Is Petty: Implied to have done something horrible to a waitress at a party because she served him white wine instead of red, even when he could easily change the wine himself.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He's killed by the Fury - the alternate Jaspers programmed it to not attack him but the Fury decided that didn't include any alternate selves.
- Humanoid Abomination: Tapping into the true scope of his power turns him into a borderline one at the very least, being a completely insane, all-powerful Reality Warper that destroyed reality itself in one alternate universe. To make things worse, his influence is also contagious, so contagious in fact that it was starting to leak into other continuities, resulting in his own continuity having the plug pulled to stop its spread. Despite this terrifying mixture of otherworldly power and utter madness at his beck and call, he does look for the most part human as you can see from his picture.
- Mad God: The highest tier of mutant (the type that can bend reality to their whims), and is batshit insane. Not a good combo. The Jaspers of Earth-238 distorted his home universe so bad it needed to be destroyed. And he's the weaker one compared to on Earth-616.
- The Mad Hatter: He doesn't care much for his lost sanity.
- Mutants: This is the truth behind Jaspers' powers - he's an abnormally, ludicrously powerful mutant, far more powerful than even fellow reality warpers like Proteus.
- A Nazi by Any Other Name: He rose to power on an anti-superhero ticket, leading to him being elected Prime Minister in a landslide and instituting extermination camps and death squads. However, in reality, he didn't actually care about superhumans specifically, he just didn't want there to be anyone around to oppose him.
- Physical God: A human mutant with unfathomable power.
- Reality Warper: An incredibly powerful one. So powerful, in fact, that one alternate universe Jaspers had messed with reality so much it broke, and his universe had to be destroyed to stop it corrupting adjacent universes. He's arguably the most powerful one in any fictional universe, and second to only the One Above All (possibly the Judaeo-Christian God... or Jack Kirby. No one's quite sure) in Marvel continuity. Even the alternate universe Jaspers' powers paled compared to the Earth-616 Jaspers' powers. Jaspers' reality-warping powers threatened the Omniverse, which, according The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 2004, is "the collection of every single universe, multiverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. This includes not only Marvel Comics, but also DC Comics, Image, Dark Horse, Archie, TMNT, Harvey, and every universe ever mentioned or seen (and an infinite amount never mentioned or seen) including our own world."
- The Unfought: Captain Britain never actually fought the original Jim Jaspers. He was destroyed alongside the rest of his fragmenting reality.
- Villain Decay: The alternate Jim Jaspers that have shown up in more recent years have had nothing on the original 616-Jaspers, who successfully threatened the Omniverse.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: It's a side-effect of his powers.
Hurricane
Albert Potter/ Hurricane
Nationality: English
Species: Human Mutate
First Appearance: Captain Britain #3
Albert was a meteorologist who studied how to deactivate hurricanes. He failed many times and soon was fired from his job. He took his machine that deactivated hurricanes and tried to release it into one. The machine backfired and engulfed Albert in its energy. The Nethergods rebuilt Albert into a weapon to use against Captain Britain, the pawn of their foe Merlyn. He soon became Hurricane.
- Energy Absorption: He could also absorb energy-based blasts and project them as well.
- Heel–Face Turn: Eventually cured of his insanity and apparently of his extra powers (which had damaged him physically), Potter was released. He married, emigrated to America, but was unable to find work and considered returning to crime until the Fantastic Four convinced him otherwise.
- One-Steve Limit: Shares codename with Makkari, Harry Kane and Hurricane of the Dark Raiders.
- Weather Manipulation: His suit allows him to generate other weather-controlling effects such as generating lightning and hail.
Doctor Crocodile
Mordred the Evil
Sir Mordred the Evil
Notable Aliases: Black Druid, Demon Druid, Dark Druid, Lore-Master, Medraut, Modred, Mordred of the Northern Isles, Mordred the Magnificent
Nationality: English
Species: Human mutant
First Appearance: Black Knight #1 (March, 1955)
The son of King Arthur, Mordred was prophesied by Merlyn to one day destroy his father's kingdom. He went onto become a recurring foe of Captain Britain, the Black Knight, and the Avengers throughout his long lifetime. However, much of his life was cast into a new light after the discovery by Krakoa's Excalibur team that Mordred was a mutant, which was the cause of King Arthur and many residents of Otherworld's hatred of the so-called "witchbreed".
- Ambiguous Situation: Given recent revelations about Mordred's status as a mutant, the prophesy that Mordred was evil and would destroy Avalon seems highly suspect given Merlyn's hatred of "witchbreed".
- Back from the Dead: He has been resurrected several times throughout his life. Knights of X sees him resurrected once more by the Five of Krakoa after his status as a mutant was discovered, reviving him at a young age with no memories of the evil deeds his older selves committed.
- Beard of Evil: A goatee.
- Hate Plague: Rachel Summers speculates that this may be what his mutant power is, as during the Knights of X's mission in Otherworld everyone on the team is constantly getting into arguments with Mordred and even townspeople he has never met and is currently defending swarm him with insults and try to attack him.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Can sketch out a good scheme and swing a sword as fine as most knights, but he's an immensely immature lunatic who's still obsessed with gaining his father's approval and truly believes that he was the actual victim of his Arthurian coup despite all the harm he caused so many others.
- Secondary Color Nemesis: Wears purple clothes and green armour.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: The younger Mordred revived by the Five is a polite young knight who is confused as to why everyone hates him, in sharp contrast to the scheming villain his older self became.
Slaymaster
Slaymaster
Notable Aliases: Gimmick Killer, Caterpillars
Species: Human
First Appearance: Super Spider-Man & Captain Britain #243
Slaymaster is one of the world's greatest assassins.
- Alternate Self: An alternate Slaymaster appears as one of the villains faced by the Exiles, becoming obsessed with Psylocke, following her all the way to the main reality, where he was killed by Betsy.
- Badass Normal: Slaymaster has no powers, but with advanced technology and extraordinary martial arts techniques he is able to repeatedly challenge Captain Britain.
- Beard of Evil: Has a prominent goatee.
- Cool Helmet: Many times he's been seen with a green helmet.
- Killed Off for Real: He was beaten to death with a rock by Brian to defend his sister after he ripped her eyes out. So far it has stuck.
- Legacy Character: Long after his death, the mantle of Slaymaster was taken up by Jasper Bateman, a mercenary who became obsessed with the exploits of the original Slaymaster. He would be defeated by the odd team-up of Captain Britain and Deadpool.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name hasn't been revealed.
- Mysterious Past: Little is known of Slaymaster's past or even his real name; what we do know is that Slaymaster gained quite the reputation as an assassin and was referred to as one of the best in the world.
- Religious Bruiser: He's also a devout Muslim.
Technet
Technet
Notable Aliases: N-Men
First Appearance: Captain Britain Vol 2 #3
Technet was a team of bounty hunters from various extradimensional worlds. For a price, Technet would hunt and capture fugitives, rescue prisoners from captivity, or recover objects of value. The scope of the Technet extended across multiple worlds and dimensions.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Being aliens, they've got a wide variety of colours on them. Gatecrasher, for example, is blue.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Joyboy's power is to grant people what they wish but in a hideously twisted fashion.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Even by Marvel standards, their powers are just plain weird. But don't underestimate them.
- Big Beautiful Woman: Gatecrasher's much more... robust than most women Alan Davies creates, but Rocket Racoon still thinks she's a looker.
- Dating Catwoman: Gatecrasher has a standing policy of not dating people she's hired to hunt. Rocket Racoon almost managed to be an exception.
- Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Hard-Boiled Henry.
- Everyone Has Standards: Gatecrasher's fairly amoral, but she's utterly appalled at the scale of Jamie Braddock's crimes.
- Funetik Aksent: Ferro and Ferro 2 have very strong Scottish accents.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Hard-Boiled Henry has a literally explosive temper, and will take it out on whatever has caught his ire. Such as touching his shell.
- Non-Action Guy: Numbers, despite his size, is pretty cowardly.
- Only in It for the Money: They'll hunt anyone anywhere, but only so long as they're paid. They've even split up over pay disputes.
- Punch-Clock Hero/Punch-Clock Villain: They work for whoever's paying them, though they do have some standards and don't tend to mean to cause any more harm than is strictly necessary.
- We ARE Struggling Together: They squabble with each other more than they fight anyone else.
Sat-Yr- 9
Sat-Yr-9
Alter Ego: Opul Lun Sat-Yr-Nin
Notable Aliases: Courtney Ross, White Queen
Nationality: English (Earth-794)
Species: Human
First Appearance: Captain Britain (Vol. 2) #2 (February, 1985)
An alternate reality counterpart from Earth-794 who killed the real Courtney Ross and usurped her identity. Sat-Yr-9 was a ruthless dictator in her own reality but she got deposed and has come to Earth-616 through a Portal Door in the multiverse to evade execution and start anew with a different position of power somewhere no one knows who she is.
Even though she still goes by "Courtney Ross", Brian and his team are completely aware of the fact that Sat-Yr-9 is an impostor and have already battled her but she managed to escape and is now the new White Queen of the Hellfire Club, and has appointed Madame Hydra as her personal aide and bodyguard as the "White Princess".
She keeps her arrogant and ruthless behaviour and still ranks high on Captain Britain's hit list for having killed his girlfriend, even though he hasn't gotten track of her yet.
- Alternate Self: Actually, she's one for the original Courtney Ross but also for Saturnyne, one of Roma's most powerful agents, along with a myriad of other counterparts in the multiverse. She's the only one of all of her counterparts to be aware of this fact and who used it to impersonate one of them.
- The Baroness: Despite her sweet face, Sat-Yr-9 was once a dictator and everything about her demanding and snide personality calls back to this.
- Card Sharp: Playing cards to seal deals seem to be a recurring hobby of hers. She even defied Emma Frost one time to have her submit to her command, which of course didn't work.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Her day job. A banker to be more precise.
- Evil All Along: According to Chris Claremont, there was "no real difference" in personality between the original Courtney and Sat-Yr-9. So if one takes his remarks as Word of God, the real Courtney Ross was just as evil as her interdimensional Nazi dictator counterpart, she just didn't get to act on that evil before being killed and replaced.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: Despite being in a much-envied position, Sat-Yr-9/Courtney was once an all-powerful dictator. Now, she's just a banker and a high-ranking operative in a wealthy organization but she's not powerful enough to boss everyone around, especially Shaw.
- Hypnotic Eyes: The crux of her powers is being able to psionically channel hypnosis through her eyes to have those of weak will or those taken by surprise bend to her every whim and command.
- Karma Houdini: Regardless of whether one takes Claremont's remarks about the original Courtney as canon or not, Sat-Yr-9 still murdered a woman and took her place in the reality of her origin, a crime for which she's faced no repercussions whatsoever.
- Kill and Replace: What she did to the real Courtney Ross whose identity she's been assuming ever since. Subverted in that she has revealed to her main foes that she's Sat-Yr-9 and that Courtney is now dead.
- Kudzu Plot: Between all the alternate reality counterparts and identity theft, Courtney/Sat-Yr-9's backstory is convoluted enough to leave a new reader cross-eyed. Unsurprisingly, most of the twists and turns come from the pen of Chris Claremont.
- A Nazi by Any Other Name: In her own reality, Sat-Yr-9 was Putting on the Reich from her diamond-shaped symbol, to her leather outfit, Nazi-Esque movements and marches. She was also the lover of a Nazi-Esque Evil Counterpart of Captain Britain, appropriately named Kaptain Briton.
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: How she persuades Viper to join her side.
- Overly Long Name: Her full name is "Opul Lun Sat-Yr-Nin".
- Pragmatic Villainy: Surprisingly pragmatic given her past as a world dictator, but then Sat-Yr-9 is nothing if not adaptable.
- Red Right Hand: Her diamond-shaped tattoo on her right thigh is telltale that she isn't the real Courtney Ross.
- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Originally and for the most part an Excalibur villain, though her bid to become the third White Queen brought her into conflict with the X-Men.
- Staff of Authority: Her trusty riding crop, which completes her Nazi-like original appearance and that she keeps on using as Courtney Ross to demonstrate her position.
- Sugary Malice: Says the most horrible and insulting things, always with a sweet smile and a soft voice.
- That Man Is Dead: Zigzagged. She has revealed her true identity to Courtney's former boyfriend and his friends during her run-ins with Excalibur and didn't mind being called by that name. Now she constantly refers to herself as "Courtney Ross".
- Villain Decay: In her reality of origin, Courtney was the co-dictator of the world. On Earth-616, she's had to settle for being a mere banker sitting on the sidelines while dozens, if not hundreds of other villains jockey for the power that was once hers to wield.
- Villain in a White Suit: Like the White Queens before her, Courtney (or rather Sat-Yr-9) colour codes her wardrobe to the part.
- Villain Team-Up: She recruited the infamous Captain America villain Viper to be The Dragon for her, or more specifically her "White Warrior Princess". This is particularly impressive in light of the fact that Viper was originally hired to kill her.
- Weak, but Skilled: Sat-Yr-9's powers are not that difficult to overcome if you're aware of them and keep your guard up. She used to get by with her superior technology and the people she had under her command. Today, she maintains her position through financial corruption and intelligence gathering. In combat, she's a decent hand-to-hand combatant and markswoman.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Her last appearance was in 2007's New Excalibur and there has been no indication as to whether she still holds onto her White Queen position or has moved on to bigger things.
