Using the name Guntag Borghelm, he gives a young man named Mike Moran the

in the original L. Miller Captain Marvel Jr. issues which announced the
changeover; curiously, the final Young Marvelman Annual in 1963 was
published as Marvelman Jr. Annual. The name Richard Dawson was used for
Richard Dauntless in Alan Moore's original proposal for the 'Marvelman'
revival, either because he felt the original name was silly or simply
because of faulty memory). [Mick Anglo]

indestructible (his counterpart, Tim Kelley, found the Eye of Zoltec;
21 July 1962 in Knockout which was then owned by Fleetway). [Solano Lopez]
Perry Porter becomes Arachno-Man. He battles a variety of villains,

======================

1969-1972
======================
Ronald Reagan elected President of the United States of America.
Sir James Jaspers addresses the House of Commons and calls for 'Super
Hero' legislation. "They are clandestine, they are frighteningly powerful
and they are not our friends. They have walked among us for more than
forty years, robbing us of our independence and endangering our lives ...
and they call themselves superheroes! America is over-run with them. They
have established footholds in Canada, Africa and the Middle East. Even
Russia has not proven immune. Many of the creatures are individually as
powerful as entire armies! And they number in the hundreds ... hundreds
[ed. note: an exaggeration, at least on Earth-238]! We have encouraged them!
Last month, President Ronald Reagan granted a full pardon to the mindless
engine of destruction known as The Hulk. These monsters ignore our laws
and threaten our freedom, yet we welcome them with open arms! They must
be contained! But how? How do you contain a being that can uproot mountains
or walk through walls? How do you reprimand creatures that are indestructible,
that can bend the very lightning to their will? How do we supress the
supermen? But let them know this ... impregnable though they may be,
humanity is aware of the menace they pose. We have closed our ranks
against them and we stand determined ... waiting to see who will make the
next move."
1971 sees the passing of the Treason Act, according to which all persons
taking the law into their own hands are punishable. Superheroes are banned.
Within a year, there are purges, death camps and executions.
1972 sees the formation of the Status Crew -- government agents armed
with high-level technology, as guards against and replacements for the
superhero population.
Jim Jaspers creates the Fury, which kills the British superheroes,
including a last stand by the Lawful Union of Britain. Within two years,
every superhero on the planet has been killed. Other fatalities include
Anakro the Unfrozen, Bow Girl, the Mutant, the Ooze, the Prestidigitator,
Reef Radford, Steam Woman, the Transformer, Ulti-Man, and Vendetta (gravestones
dating '1982' are in error). [primarily from Stephen Mellor] Captain UK and
Miracleman Junior survive, transported to alternate Earths.
The Status Crew briefly employs a male actor who takes the name Captain
UK to act as a patriotic front man and denounce the other heroes. He is
assassinated by the Mutant, before the Mutant is slain (again and for the
last time) by the Fury. [speculated; from Stephen Mellor + attempt to
explain reference to male Captain UK]
1981
======================
Captain Britain of Earth-616 arrives.
Scott of the British National Party is Prime Minister.
Margaret the 1st is Queen.
Wilcox-Smith is Home Secretary.
The Crazy Gang is running rampant.
1983
=======================
June
Lord Mandragon, Emperor of the Dimensional Development Court of Earth-9,
destroys the universe. Only the Fury survives, travels to Earth-616.
1986
=======================
February
Linda McQuillan/Captain UK and Rick Dawson/Miracleman Junior, at Roma's
request, travel to Earth-839, the home of the late Kaptain Briton and of
Opul Lun Sat-Yr-Nin, to liberate its people from Sat-Yr-Nin's tyrannical rule.
1990
=======================
On an alternate possible Earth, in a version of London more technologically
advanced than Earth-616's, The High Lord Justicer (Captain Britain) reigns
over a Britain in which superhumans have been banned. His subordinates, the
Justicers, as represented by Justicer Bull, are counterparts of the Judges of
Mega City One. Also evident are alternate versions of Illyana Rasputin
(Darkchylde), Kitty Pryde (Kingpin), Kurt Wagner, The Hulk (Davey Banner),
Spiderman, Meggan, and Betsy Braddock (Chief Examining Magistrate). [Excalibur #23]
This might also be the Earth of the Apeslayer (Marvel UK continued the
Planet of the Apes title by reprinting "Killraven" strips from Amazing
Adventures, altering the art so he was fighting apes instead of Martians)
and the Timeshmasher strips? [Rampage] [Paul Neary/Mick Austin]

McQuillan's post-238 adventures can be found here. For more on some of
the original British versions of these characters, see Midnight reviews.
