Britanic

Britanic is a mysterious British-affiliated Marvel hero who appeared in the mid-1990s and crossed paths with Excalibur, operating alongside figures such as Brian Braddock and Nightcrawler in that team's corner of the Marvel Universe.

A mysterious figure who stepped out of the mid-1990s Marvel universe with a distinctly British edge, Britanic made his debut in X-Man #12 in 1996, brought to life by the sharp creative pairing of John Ostrander and Steve Skroce. His story unfolds most prominently across the pages of Excalibur — that beloved corner of the Marvel universe where he keeps rarefied company indeed, sharing adventures with the likes of Brian Braddock, Nightcrawler, and Charles Xavier himself. With appearances stretching across fourteen years and a place in the celebrated Excalibur Visionaries: Warren Ellis collection, Britanic may be a rare find in the catalog, but for dedicated collectors hunting the deeper cuts of the Copper and Modern Age Marvel tapestry, that scarcity only adds to the appeal.
