Field Marshal Britain

Name: Field Marshal Britain

Origin: Originally a super fan of Bernard Montgomery, independently wealthy Frederick Matthew Britain was injured by a runaway horse at the Trooping of the Colours and taken to hospital in a coma.

When he awoke he saw F. M. Britain on the bed’s whiteboard and decided he must be Field Marshal Britain, superb organiser.

Nothing since has managed to shake this belief.

Powers: Since the accident he really has been a superb organiser.

Somehow he has convinced the government to release radioactive material to his “Secret” nuclear research laboratory.

Aims: To end all Britain’s and the other 15 Commonwealth Realms’ woes through the application of peaceful nuclear technology.

Weaknesses: Minimal attention to safety. Half the heroes in the Realms originated in accidents at his lab.

Super Files

In 2015 I briefly did a joke about stupid superheroes, centred on Drunk Man, Woman Man + others at Field Marshal Britain‘s labs, loosely based on the style of the Marvel comics I devoured as a child in the 1960s.

Basically: Radiation + accident-> Super powers.

I revisited this joke in 2023-2024.

Now I’m doing an expanded set of Supers as memes.

Starts tomorrow.
