Betsy Braddock has been Captain Britain for almost two years, but her reign may be about to end. As part of her duties, Betsy had to protect the Starlight Citadel that allows Saturnyne to rule the multiverse.

Regardless, Betsy and Saturnyne now have a common enemy, even though they still hate each other. Excalibur #26.

The legendary wizard, Merlyn, has led a fanatical crusade to exterminate all mutants/witchbreed in Otherworld. And he’s also brought King Arthur back to lead his armies.
