Early Years[]
Born the second son, third child, and second baby in a set of fraternal twins Brian Braddock (born December 1980) was one of the children of the illustrious and well-respected scientist, as well as one of the E.D.I. founding members, Sir James Braddock Sr., and his wife, a well respected businesswoman, who possessed Japanese ancestry, Lady Elizabeth Braddock. Whom Brian's own sister, Elizabeth "Besty" Braddock was named after in honor and recognition, along with love.
Growing up amongst his siblings Brian was the most studious, but also the shyest. He was also the only one not born with mutant powers, though he wouldn't know this until he got older. Despite his shyness Brian got along well with his siblings, especially his sister. Though his personality made it hard for him to make connections with people outside his family. Even so he eventually managed to, and made childhood friends with the daughter of his fathers close friend, and fellow E.D.I. operative, the outgoing Meggan Puceanu, the calm and collected Courtney Ross, and lastly the brash but righteous Jacko Tanner. With them and his family by his side Brian eventually managed to come out of his shell and become more sociable. Which made it all that much easier for Brian to showcase both the genius intellect, and love for science, he had inherited from his father James Sr. The same as his brother Jamie. Two things that allowed the Braddock men to bond on an even deeper level. So much so James Sr. and Jamie eventually revealed the fact they worked with the E.D.I. to Brian. After which he began helping them with their work in that regard. Specifically in building and designing exo-suits that would give the wearers superhuman capabilities, similar to Brian favorite hero Captain America. Inspired by this fact Brian through all he had into the exo-suit project, even after he and his friends went a way to university. Where a couple of years after he started attending he, his father, and brother finished the proejct. But right after they did James Sr. informed his sons their sister was in danger, from the man who was working with her to control her telepathic mutant powers, E.D.I. agent, and mutant telepath himself, Dr. Christopher Ramsey. Who James Sr. had discovered was a sleeper agent working for a yet unknown organization.
Discovering this the Braddock men set out to save Betsy, each of them dawning an exo-suit, before confronting Ramsey. Who then forced Betsy to fight them. Which she did until her father was killed by Ramsey. This caused her to return to her senses and defeat him. But the celebration was moot as the siblings mourned the loss of their father. Though James was also inspired by it to do more. Thus he joined the E.D.I., after easily graduating early from University, and became one of their exclusive exo-suit users, taking the codename Captain Britian, in honor of Captain America himself.
