Captain Britain

CAPTAIN BRITAIN
Bio: After nearly being killed, Brian Braddock was offered a choice by the sorceror Merlyn: the Amulet of Right or the Sword of Might. Not seeing himself as a warrior, Braddock chose the Amulet and became Captain Britain, the United Kingdom's greatest protector. Super-strong and nearly invulnerable, Braddock shares the call to heroism with his twin sister Betsy, also known as Psylocke.

I honestly don't see why he gets such fan fare in the game. At best he seems a moderate bruiser, but his SP consumption is atrocious and he quickly runs out. I think X-23 and even Hercules are much better bruiser choices.

I think it's because he's an exploiter that gets a lot of turns and buffs himself every round on top of the Enraged bonus, making battles a breeze for him.
