**Captain Avalon** (*Brian Braddock*) is the champion of the British Isles and its people. Endowed with mystical powers by the Amulet of Right given to him by the legendary sorcerer Merlyn and his daughter Roma, he was assigned to be the protector of Earth-616 for the Captain Britain Corps.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Energy Channeling:** Captain Avalon's abilities are powered by interdimensional energies which are concentrated around the British Isles of each reality and also in Otherworld; moving too far away from the field will cause eventual power loss unless a power-enhancing costume is worn. For a time, all of his abilities were localized to Britain; if he went abroad for too long without wearing his costume, his powers were eventually diminished to nothing. His costume acts as an antenna and battery, allowing him to retain his powers wherever he goes. Recently, he has gained the power to use his abilities even without his suit. They are not based on his confidence and with greater confidence, he gains more power.

* **Superhuman Strength:** While wearing his costume, Captain Avalon's strength is increased to high superhuman levels. At his peak, he is able to lift approximately 100 tons.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Captain Avalon's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can exert himself physically for about 24 hours before the build-up of fatigue toxins his blood begins to impair him.
* **Superhuman Durability:** While wearing his costume, Captain Avalon's body is surrounded by an invisible force field that renders him highly resistant to physical injury. This field allows him to sustain powerful energy blasts, great impact forces (such as bazooka shells or being repeatedly struck by superhumanly strong opponents), temperature extremes, and falls from great heights without being injured. However, repeated impacts from sufficiently powerful forces or weaponry will weaken and, eventually, penetrate the field. The field's density, however, is specially designed to allow oxygen and light to pass through. This field is currently sustained by his own confidence.
* **Superhuman Agility:** His agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Captain Avalon's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Senses:** Captain Avalon can purposely draw upon the energies that give him his powers to temporarily increase the efficiency of his senses, enhancing them to superhuman levels.
	+ **Superhuman Vision:** He can see objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than a normal human.
	+ **Superhuman Hearing:** His hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing him to hear further than a human and to detect sounds normal humans cannot.
* **Flight:** Captain Avalon can also channel his energies for the purpose of flying through the air at great speeds. At his peak, he is capable of surpassing the speed of sound (approximately 770 miles per hour). His protective force field grants him durability to withstand the rigors of traveling at such high velocities that would damage regular human tissues, as well as allowing him to breathe normally.

### Abilities

* **Gifted Intellect:** Captain Avalon is a brilliant scientist with expertise in physics and engineering.
	+ **Physics**
	+ **Engineering**
* **Acrobatics**
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat**

## Equipment

**Captain Britain's Uniform:** Captain Avalon's costume stores interdimensional energies to act as a battery for when he is away from the matrix which surrounds the British Isles. His costume has also, at times, been able to generate a protective force field and a more recent version is also able to adopt a 'stealth mode' which helps him operate more unobtrusively.

### Former Equipment

**Amulet of Right:** He originally possessed the amulet before it was destroyed by his sister.
