At first, the Captain's powers came from the mystical circuitry of his suit. The most important part of the suit was the predominantly red (with small Union Jack patterns) helmet. The entire ensemble seemed more military than his previous suit and was in part inspired by the Royal Horseguard. Ģ) The Amulet and Star Scepter were later transformed into his second uniform - a skintight suit, which displayed a Union Jack pattern on his torso combined with white tight pants and knee-high dark blue boots and white gloves. Captain Britain initially used a collapsible quarterstaff as a weapon, but Merlyn later evolved it into a Star Scepter forged of mystical circuity. Combined with the uniform he wore the Amulet of Right, the source of his powers, around his neck. Small Union Jacks also adorned his lower arms. He wore a red and blue mask, with tiny Union Jacks that covered his entire face, but left his hair free.

CAPTAIN BRITAIN COSTUMES UPDATE
Psylocke | Captain Britain Costume Gallery – Update.Now at the height of discussing intersectionality would be a perfect time for Marvel to rectify this mess and even have Betsy in the book's comment on it after returning to her roots. Today's Women's March really coupled with so many of the "dragon lady" images above really drives home how problematic Psylocke's current incarnation is. And hopefully, they actually use their Asian characters to depict an Asian-American presence. Not to start up the "body wars," but I cannot be the only one hoping that if she really is going into editorial limbo, it is so Marvel can undo the racist, convoluted mess she has become and return to her roots. Looking at most of these images and depictions, she may as well be a different character just running around with the same name. Even initially after the Siege Perilous, during Claremont's Acts of Vengeance storyline she still felt like Elizabeth Braddock. So much so that she no longer feels like the character we first met in Captain Britain and then the X-Men. These costumes really just emphasize how different Psylocke has become. Plus, even though a lot of people said this miniseries was bad, I really enjoyed it (which is a surprise, considering how bad Milligan wrote the X-Men in the Reload era - although he also did write the excellent X-Statix series, so I guess a writer can't be judged by a single book). But really, it would be great to see O-Chiyo and the 5 Ronin versions of Wolverine, Punisher, Hulk and Deadpool.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely, considering that the 5 Ronin miniseries wasn't very well received (both sales-wise and critics-wise). Wouldn't it be great if this "nation" was the 5 Ronin one?
Seeing O-Chiyo Braddock, from 5 Ronin, I remembered that one of the Battleworld "nations" in Secret Wars is called The Far East - and, so far, Marvel didn't show what event, story arc or miniseries it is representing. Sorry for only commenting on this post, and congratulations for the outstanding work gathering images of Psylocke with all her different uniforms, and also of all Psylockes from alternate Earths.
