I'm pretty concerned about the welfare of Brian Braddock, AKA: Captain Britain.
You've probably heard that today (18 September, 2014) the people of Scotland are voting on whether they'll become an independent nation, or remain part of the United Kingdom, AKA: Great Britain. Regardless of our personal feelings on the matter, I think we can all agree it's certainly been 307 years.
Marvel Comics has always prided itself as being rooted in the real world, and references the real world's current events. (See: 'F-Itself', 'Civil War', and... 'God Loves, Man Kills'.) If Scotland claims its independence, how will Captain Britain be affected?
Not a great look.
Will Captain Britain lose power via the reduction of political jurisdiction?
Will he lose confidence in himself, since a nation voted themselves away from him and the British laws he was assigned to uphold?
If so, will Captain Britain fall into despair and succumb to his inner-demons (alcoholism)?
If so, will the mantle of Captain Britain be given to a more worthy British national?
If so, will the new Captain Britain be female again?
Either way, will we see the rise of a Captain Scotland?
And, will Captain Scotland pick up Captain Britain's slack if Captain Britain starts spiraling downward?
DISCUSS!
