Notes:

Brian's first appearance under Marvel's US office was Marvel Team-Up (1st series) #65. Cap originally used a amulet, a quarterstaff, and later a star sceptre to focus his powers, but the power of the sceptre was incorporated into his new uniform in Marvel Super Heroes #377, and his powers were enhanced even further by a life-enhancing fluid in #381. Up until this time, Cap could manipulate his force field, expanding it to cover other people, create hands of force energy, etc. After being killed in #388, Brian was resurrected by Merlin and Roma in The Daredevils #1 with his powers internalized, his force field much more limited in scope, and his senses enhanced. Braddock became Britanic in Excalibur (1st series) #75, and returned to being Captain Britain in #100. He lost his powers in Excalibur (1st series) #110, but regained them in Excalibur (2nd series) #4.
