Brian was critically injured thus leading to Morgan le Fay's defeat and the terms of the fight meant that she had to stand down as ruler of Avalon.

Jamie Braddock is the brother of the former Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, and son of Dr. James Braddock. Though Brian survived an attack on Parliament by the Madrox's during Magneto's attack several months earlier, Brian Braddock stayed comatose. Brian was also affected by cancer. Jamie took up his mantle, blaming his father for Brian's situation. Jamie quickly became the leader of the European Defense Initiative's reconstituted Super Soldier Program. When the E.D.I. sent him along with different European Captains to talk to Asgardian Gods, he found himself battling the Children of Tomorrow with the help of Thor. He was the only Captain who survived after capture, being later rescued by Thor. He then joined the Ultimates. After the US president activated the Winter Protocols, Jamie and Spider-Woman were arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D.. This shut down the Ultimates at that time.
- In Uncanny X-Force v1 #23 (2012), an alternate future version of Jamie Braddock was shown to exist in the Omniverse. Years in the future, it was said that he formed a deal with Horoam'ce the Goat Devil of Self-Propagation. This saw him transform into a being called the Goat with the devil inside of him looking to spread, multiply and dominate. Within Jamie's mind, it saw the Tower Omniverse and sought to spread itself like a mind-cancer across the Multiverse. Thus, it stole the Orbs of Necromancy and used a time travel pedestal to journey to modern day to conquer the Tower during a time when Merlyn was in hibernation.
