Captain Britain and MI:13...

Is brilliant.

What is MI:13 I hear you ask? It's Her Majesties "Weird Happenings" Organisation, formed to deal with things like mutants, aliens and fairies. Yes, fairies. You see, Britain is the heart of all Earthly Magic in the Marvel universe.

So we have MI:13. Run by a magnificent bastard called Pete Wisdom - "I did my duty" is his motto, and it covers a multitude of sins. He's a mutant, but mostly the poor bugger they ask to do everything noone else wants to, because it's his duty to Crown and Country.

The titular Captain Britain is the literal embodiment of the British Culture. It's said every British person thinks he has a accent like theirs. He's a magical being, whose powers are tied to his emotions, if he's feeling defiant for example he's unstoppable, but if he's feeling unwell he's as weak as a kitten.

Did I mention that the current wielder of Excalibur is a doctor, who happens to be a Muslim?
She's the team's medic, as you can guess.



And now, we have: Vampires. And not normal vampires. Count freaking Dracula.
Who has a base on the Moon.
And is allied with Doctor Doom.
Who is also on the Moon.
