The original Excalibur

Excalibur vol. 1 (1988–98)

Excalibur's original creative team, writer Chris Claremont and artist/co-writer Alan Davis, incorporated elements of two Marvel properties: the X-Men and Captain Britain. Chris Claremont (born November 30, 1950) is a writer of American Comic books known for his 16-year (1975-1991 stint on Uncanny X-Men Alan Davis (born 1956 is a British writer and artist of Comic books Biography UK work Alan Davis was born on June 18, 1956

The X-Men are a group of mutants—evolved human beings born with extraordinary powers—who use their abilities to defend a society that hates and fears them. Claremont had authored their series since 1976, guiding them to tremendous success. He borrowed four characters from the X-Men for Excalibur:

A Marvel UK property co-created by Claremont in 1976, Captain Britain is a protector of Great Britain, endowed with superhuman powers by the legendary wizard Merlyn. Marvel UK was an Imprint of Marvel Comics formed in 1972 to reprint US produced stories for the British weekly comic market though See also Kingdom of Great Britain Great Britain (Breatainn Mhòr Prydain Fawr Breten Veur Graet Breetain is the larger of the two main islands Merlyn is a Fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. Alan Davis and Alan Moore, during their joint early 1980s stint, established that the Marvel Universe's Captain Britain was one of many from various dimensions and that one of his main roles is guarding the lighthouse that is placed at the convergence of realities. Alan Moore (born November 18 1953 in Northampton) is an English Writer most famous for his influential work in Comics, including the acclaimed

Excalibur, which also featured Captain Britain's emotionally unstable, shapeshifter lover Meggan, first gathered together in Excalibur Special Edition #1 (1988) and were soon featured in a monthly series. Shapeshifting is a common theme in Mythology and Folklore, as well as in Science fiction and Fantasy. With the help of a manic, dimension-hopping robot named Widget, they embarked on a series of wacky adventures through parallel worlds, many of which had previously been featured in Captain Britain’s UK-only series. A robot is a mechanical or Virtual Artificial agent In practice it is usually an electro-mechanical system which by its appearance or movements Widget is a Fictional character in the Marvel Universe. The character was later revealed to be an older alternate version of Shadowcat Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own

Davis left with Excalibur #24 (1990), and Claremont with Excalibur #34 (1991) and the series began to lag badly. In addition, various plot points were left dangling and unresolved by Claremont before his departure. A year later, Davis returned to the book as both writer and illustrator with Excalibur #42 and rejuvenated it, returning to the (mostly) lighthearted tone of his original run, while resolving many plotlines Claremont had left dangling. He also added several new members, including the mystic Feron, the warrior Kylun, and the alien seductress Cerise, and also introduced the size-shifter Micromax. Feron is a Marvel Comics character a former member of the Superhero group Excalibur. Kylun ( Colin McKay) is a Fictional Comic book Superhero in the Marvel Universe. Cerise is a Fictional character, a Superheroine in the Marvel Comics universe. Micromax ( Scott Wright) is a Fictional character, a mutant Superhero of the Marvel universe. (In an interview in Wizard #6, Davis said that he was adding four new team members to the team. Wizard or Wizard The Magazine of Comics Entertainment and Pop Culture (originally titled Wizard The Guide to Comics and Presumably if Davis's run had not ended prematurely, Micromax would have become a full member of the team. )

After Davis left in 1993 (issue #67), Uncanny X-Men writer Scott Lobdell filled-in for several months (#68-82). Scott Lobdell (born 1963 is an American Comic book writer He is mostly known for his work throughout the 1990s on Marvel Comics ' X-Men-related titles In a jarring transition, Captain Britain was lost off-panel, Meggan was suddenly catatonic from losing Captain Britain, and the newer members were summarily dispatched. In addition, the tone of the series changed as well, from a lighthearted, fun comic to more grim and depressing series. Marvel stationed the team on the fictitious Muir Island, off the coast of Scotland, and tied the series closer to the X-Men family, casting-off most Captain Britain-related elements entirely, in addition to the characters that did not have close ties to the X-Universe (like Kylun and Feron). Muir Island is a small fictional island off of the northern coast of Scotland in the Marvel Comics universe. Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. Kylun ( Colin McKay) is a Fictional Comic book Superhero in the Marvel Universe. Feron is a Marvel Comics character a former member of the Superhero group Excalibur. In a much-maligned storyline by fans, Phoenix was disposed of to bring a much altered and somewhat despised by fandom "Britannic" (a Captain Britain who was altered) back. Captain Britain ( Brian Braddock) briefly known as Britannic is a Fictional character, a Superhero appearing in the comic books published by Captain Britain ( Brian Braddock) briefly known as Britannic is a Fictional character, a Superhero appearing in the comic books published by Lobdell also introduced Douglock, who was eventually revealed to be the deceased techno-organic alien Warlock of the New Mutants, reborn with the form and memories his former teammate, the deceased Cypher, who joined the team.

In 1994, Warren Ellis assumed writing duties (issue #83) and, using his dark sense of humor, helped the book gain its own voice once again. Warren Ellis (born February 16, 1968) is a British author of Comics Novels and Television, well known for sociocultural Revisions made in his time on the book included reverting "Britannic" back to Captain Britain once more and adding Pete Wisdom, an often-obnoxious British spy, often considered Ellis’ alter ego, who could manifest solar energy, often in the form of 'hot knives' from his fingers. Pete Wisdom (Peter Paul Winston Wisdom is a fictional secret agent published by Marvel Comics.

Ellis left in 1996 (issue #103) and Ben Raab, his replacement (issue #106), failed to find a voice for the series, often borrowing plotlines from other X-Books. Benjamin "Ben" Raab is a Comic book Writer and editor. Sales fell and Marvel cancelled the series, partially so Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Colossus could return to the X-Men. The series ended with issue #125 (1998) featuring the wedding of Meggan and a depowered Captain Britain.

Excalibur vol. 2 (2001)

In 2001, a four-issue limited series titled Excalibur, featuring Captain Britain, Meggan, Psylocke, and the Black Knight and written by Raab, detailed Captain Britain's rise to become king of the extra-dimensional realm of Otherworld.

Excalibur vol. 3 (2004)

In 2004, Marvel Comics launched a new ongoing series titled Excalibur, this time dealing with the efforts of Professor Xavier and Magneto to rebuild the devastated mutant nation of Genosha (which was destroyed at the beginning of Grant Morrison's X-Men run). Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero known as the leader and founder of Magneto (alias Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, born Max Eisenhardt) is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Genosha is a Fictional country that has appeared in numerous Comic book series published by Marvel Comics. Grant Morrison (born January 31 1960 is a Scottish Comic book writer and artist Aside from the name and the writer (Claremont) it has no connection to Marvel's previous Excalibur titles.

Other cast members included Callisto, another mutant leader and former member of the Morlocks, and newcomers such as Wicked, Freakshow, Shola Inkosi, and Karima Shapandar. Callisto is a Marvel Comics character, associated with the X-Men.

Events of the House of M storyline concluded Xavier's and Magneto's partnership. House of M is an eight-issue Comic book Limited series and crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics in 2005.

Ironically, issues of Uncanny X-Men during the time of this Excalibur had much in common with the original Excalibur: light hearted stories by Chris Claremont, colorful art by Alan Davis, characters including Nightcrawler and Rachel Summers, and even a cameo appearance by Captain Britain.

The letters page of the final issue of Excalibur (vol. 3) announced a relaunch of the title as New Excalibur in November 2005. This incarnation of the book was written by Claremont.

New Excalibur has more in common with the original series than the Genosha-based book had, for it features Captain Britain and Peter Wisdom as main characters and takes place in London. Captain Britain ( Brian Braddock) briefly known as Britannic is a Fictional character, a Superhero appearing in the comic books published by Pete Wisdom (Peter Paul Winston Wisdom is a fictional secret agent published by Marvel Comics.

As with many of Marvel's late 2005 books, it spun out of the after-effects of House of M. Four issues of Uncanny X-Men[2] laid the foundation for New Excalibur. Captain Britain brought the team together as the new Excalibur in New Excalibur #5, preceding an attack from Lionheart, Albion, and the Warwolves. Lionheart ( Kelsey Leigh Kirkland) formerly called Captain Britain, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero. Albion is the name of two Fictional characters within the Marvel Comics Universe. The Warwolves are fictional characters appearing in the Comic books published by Marvel Comics, as part of the shared Marvel Universe. Later, the team faced an attack by Black Air and Black Tom Cassidy, who was depowered due to M-Day.

Recently, Psylocke joined New Excalibur and assisted them during an attack by the recently-revived Shadow King who was responsible for the creation of the Shadow-X. The Shadow King is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. With Nocturne, Juggernaut, Dazzler, and Pete Wisdom under Shadow King's control, Captain Britain being beaten by his own team, and Sage unconscious, Psylocke faced the Shadow King alone, plunging a psi-blade into Dark Xavier, saving New Excalibur and mysteriously vanishing in a flash of light without explanation.

He brought his world peace but people kept starving and dying until he met a Captain Britain and move onto the latter's world and begun a killing spree on the Captain Britain Corps. He then meets Shadow-X and Michelle Scicluna, a Black Air agent, and they prepare to take on New Excalibur. [3] Rivalry sets them apart though and Sage infiltrates them as Diana Fox. Sage, also known as Tessa, is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe He manages to take down all of England's energy-using objects and conquers it, with Sage developing a new persona completely subordinate to him, killing both Dark Cyclops and Dark Beast forcing Excalibur and Shadow-X to ally to make what might be their last stand.
