Origins:
 
Albion is an alternate-Earth version of Brian Braddock, the Captain Britain of Earth-616. In this reality, (Earth-70518) while World War One started in 1914, it did not end in 1918, instead raging on for another century and spreading across the entire planet. It is on this world that Bran Bardic is met by Merlyn and his daughter Roma and offered the choice between the Amulet of Right or the Sword of Might. He chose the Sword, becoming one of the few that ever did.
Spurned by Roma and Merlyn, Bran is left to his own devices and, after the near destruction of his world, Bran sets out to both find a home for his people and gain revenge on Roma by destroying the Captain Britain Corps and in particular, her champion Brian Braddock.
