Not seen, only mentioned as being present. Presumably died along with the majority of the Captain Britain Corps members present for the battle against Mad Jim Jaspers.

Thankfully, Marvel has made all of this so much easier to collect and read with an expanded version of the Captain Britain omnibus, released in 2022. This includes absolutely everything that’s collected roughshod in all of those other books I mentioned earlier (with one exception, which I’ll talk about in the next section). He eventually attempted to retire due to dissatisfaction with the Corps, but was forced to continue his activities for a brief time by his suit even past his own death. [39] X-Men Annual #11. The whole tempted by their greatest desire trope gets old, and I’m really not convinced by some of these “desires”. Nonetheless, this is a surprisingly good story with a great ending [6+/10]. Yes, I think there were! I’ve seen a bit of online debate about which is the most comprehensive edition to get. I think there was an earlier edition that included a couple of issues of Captain America (#305-306) co-starring our Captain which are missing from this one. The bottom line is that Marvel allowed and sponsored (no doubt under pressure from young British creatives) a unique and stand-alone super-hero who could be periodically integrated into the Marvel Universe and has been ever since.Admittedly, this batch of stories feels a bit goofy, and I would hardly call any of them essential for readers of Captain Britain. It’s nice that they’re collected here for the sake of completion, though. We're basically given two bonus Claremont X-Men annuals (new Mutants #2 and Uncanny X-Men #11) to round out this huge volume, which are both excellent stories but fairly inessential when it comes to the the Captain himself.

While not the biggest fan of Tini Howard's writing, I do appreciate the worldbuilding she's done for Otherworld which is now a great location for the mutant books and the Marvel Universe at large with plenty left to explore. Captain Britain (vol. 2) #1 (January 1985) - Jamie Delano (writer), Alan Davis (artist), Ian Rimmer (editor) At the time that chapter was published in 1983, the character was still called "Marvelman", but Moore employed the alternate "Miracleman" name for the character's cameo. Moore probably figured this was a minor appearance of a character the editors and/or owners wouldn't recognize in a million years, so a small alteration would make all the difference. Miracleman was still around in future reprints as well, and now that the character is owned by Disney, it is no longer an issue.
