If Captain Britain walked through a city centre in the evening, he'd have drunks leaving pubs to try and fight him with bottles.

stuff in the 80s but I've yet to see a version of him in the modern era that isn't like this. As someone who gets sensitive about how people can denigrate Captain America, I feel bad for the Brits in the audience. Eh, they seem to be into self-deprecating humor though so maybe it washes off.

We'd assume he was Fathers for Justice.

I think whenever there is some big Nationalistic sporting event. (England playing in the World Cup. Andy Murray in the finals of Wimbledon. Etc...) Then he'd be loved, particularly by the Tabloids ala The Sun. At other times he'd be treated much in the same way Pete Wisdom treats him.

Have you seen how your head of state dresses up? At least Captain Britain did something to get where he is and earned the right to look silly

Mikl posted:And when did Guy become a red lantern? When Johns finished his Green Lantern run, they changed all the creative teams on all the Lantern books. So they put Charles Soule (the guy who turned around Thunderbolts since Way left) on Red Lanterns. Hal Jordan, afraid that the Reds were up to something, asked Guy to go undercover, since he wore the red ring a while back. Worst comes to worst, they can always cure him via the Blue Lanterns like last time. Guy joined the Reds, where he immediately exiled Atrocitus and Dex-Star and took over. All the Blue Lanterns except Saint Walker (who is currently without hope) got killed, so Guy got all pissed at Hal and came clean to the rest of the Reds because gently caress the Green Lantern Corps. Besides, he found the Red Lanterns to be a pretty cool bunch of guys when they weren't following Atrocitus' orders. Since then, the team has gone from Atrocitus' angsty space Punishers to Guy Gardner's hilarious space Wolverines. The team is far more likeable than any of the other Lantern teams flying around these days and it's easily one of the best books DC's doing right now. He started sporting the Lemmy 'stache in the issue before this.

He has also claimed space sector 2814 as Reds territory and told Hal to just gently caress off. Baz is ok as long as he only stays on Earth.

You get like that when you initially get your ring, but once you drink from the red lake on their home planet, you get control of your facilities. You're just kind of pissy.

On the recommendations of the board I caught up on all things GL on Saturday, since all the issues were like a dollar. The Red Lantern stuff is the best of the bunch (though I have a huge soft spot for Kyle and the New Guardians.) I'd also like to point out that Guy started sporting a moustache one issue after one of the Red Lanterns said that the hallmark of a great tyrant is a great moustache. OMG Foreshadowing! But seriously Red Lanterns is pretty good.

Yeah, let's go with that, it's a happier story that way. Thor The Mighty Avenger is a really good comic and everyone should read it. Rather everyone should have read it so it didn't get canceled  . Does anyone know if it ever got released as a trade or anything?

 (UK advert for Captain Britain, source unknown) Alan Davis posted:The Lion Rampant was a real joke in the UK because, although it was a heraldic symbol, it was best known as a sign to denote the quality and freshness of eggs. There were all sorts of jokes about Captain Britain being a "good egg". It's the Union Jack wristbands that do it for me.
