Dr. Synne

Dr. Synne is an early adversary of Captain Britain, menacing Marvel UK's flagship hero almost from his debut. A villainous figure in the British superhero landscape, Synne challenged Brian Braddock alongside supporting cast members including Betsy and Jamie Braddock.

Few villains can claim the distinction of menacing Marvel UK's flagship hero from the very beginning, but Dr. Synne earned that dark honor in the pages of Captain Britain back in 1976, courtesy of the formidable creative partnership of Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe. A Bronze Age antagonist born from Marvel UK's ambitious push to build a homegrown superhero mythology, Dr. Synne shares the stage with Captain Britain himself alongside the likes of Brian Braddock, Betsy Braddock, and Jamie Braddock — names that would go on to loom large in Marvel lore. With appearances stretching across an impressive 45 years and a key issue to their name, this early villain occupies a genuinely historic corner of British comics history, and the Captain Britain Omnibus is the perfect place to rediscover them.
