| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) | comment |
A Crooked World (also known as Jaspers' Warp), is a Captain Britain storyline published in three Anthology Comic titles released by Marvel UK between 1981-1984. The first few issues were written by Dave Thorpe, who was later replaced by Alan Moore. Alan Davis was the artist for the full storyline.Captain Britain (Brian Braddock), accompanied by new sidekick Jackdaw, is equipped with a new costume and powers, then sent to a parallel universe (later named as Earth-238) by Merlin. Once there he’s confronted by a range of weird happenings and encounters the enigmatic Saturnyne, who requests the Captain's help for "The Push" - her plan to give this "primitive" world an evolutionary boost and make it less irrational.The scheme is successful, but draws the attention of the creature who created the weirdness and chaos - Jim Jaspers, an insane, terrifyingly powerful Reality Warper. Jaspers sends his most lethal creation, the Fury, to deal with them. And it does, easily killing Jackdaw and Captain Britain, while Saturnyne flees back to her own reality.Merlin resurrects Captain Britain and returns him to his own world (Earth-616, the 'main' Marvel Universe). But Earth-616 has its own variant of Jaspers, who's now starting to manifest his powers. And this version is even more powerful.If Captain Britain couldn’t beat the other Jaspers, what hope does he have of saving his world from this stronger version? How did his own Earth-238 variant, the mysterious Captain U.K., end up living on Earth-616? And, back on Earth-238, what will the Fury do when - despite everything it's witnessed - it realises that Captain Britain still isn't dead?This story is notable as some of the only comics work (outside of a handful of strips published in Marvel UK magazines such as Star Wars and Doctor Who) that Moore did for Marvel, and it's also really where the Captain Britain stories really came into their own, with an iconic costume change for Captain Britain himself, a much darker tone, and some very memorable, formidable adversaries.Along the way, it introduced elements that later became staples of the Captain Britain mythos: The Captain Britain Corps, and the Omniversal Majestrix Saturnyne. It's also the storyline where the main Marvel Universe gets its Earth-616 designation from.The events of the storyline didn't stop with its conclusion, as the effects of "Jaspers' Warp" continued after his defeat, somewhat averting No Ontological Inertia, and the Crazy Gang existed on Earth-616 as well, not to mention a series of "Warpies", a strange baby-boom of young children who were affected by Jaspers' reality-warping, developing powers not unlike that of mutants, emerging some two decades later (in real-time).The storyline was initially coloured and reprinted as an "X-Men Archives: Captain Britain" limited series in 1995, with a trade paperback in 2002. It's also been reprinted in other formats, mostly for the UK market as part of licensee Panini's various Captain Britain collections. | |

Artificial Human | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_1ee0948e | comment |
Artificial Human: The Fury is described as a "cybiote", which isn't given much clarification as to what it is beyond being "part-machine/part-animal/beast". So basically, some form of a Cyborg. It turns out that the Crazy Gang was literally created from the ground up by Mad Jim Jaspers. Fittingly, he explains his creation to them in a manner that describes him as God. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: James Jaspers used his reality-warping a few times too many, and quickly went insane as a result. This is true in both Earth-238 and Earth-616. Considering that he could bend a universe to his whim by thinking about it, it's not surprising that he went crazy. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: With the exception of Captain U.K. herself, almost all of the Earth-238 superheroes slaughtered by the Fury seem to be direct equivalents of older British heroes published by other companies. Miracleman is Marvelman - a hero who was actually renamed to Miracleman when that series switched publisher a couple of years later. Captain U.K.'s husband Rick was based on Young Marvelman, whose real name was also Richard. The Iron Tallon is based on the Steel Claw. From context, the Arachnid (who's never actually seen) is presumably based on The Spider. Android Andy is based on Robot Archie. Tom Rosetta, granted invulnerability by his magic stone, is based on Tim Kelly, wearer of the Eye of Everlasting Life and star of the adventure series Kelly's Eye. | |

| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_4a0e2f8d | comment |
White Hair, Black Heart: Played with, but ultimately subverted with Saturyne. She's manipulative, yes. But she's also doing a job that sometimes requires not-so-nice choices, to maintain stability in the omniverse. She at least thanked Captain Britain for helping her accomplish her mission. Which mind you, was to make a world a more ideal place until Mad Jim Jaspers screwed with reality. And she was sentenced to death. She also got Captain UK to find the fighting spirit hidden within her again. Pretty much being Majestrix of the Developmental Dimensional Court requires ruthlessness and a thirst for power as personality traits. | |

| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Captain Britain's force field can be extended as a telekinetic hand or barrier in the Earth-238 stories. Dialogue suggests that this was deliberately removed by Roma, at Merlin's request, when he came Back from the Dead. Saturnyne's speech pattern in the Earth-238 stories is very different. At times she sounds like an American film noir vamp, whereas her later appearances are far less informal. | |

Perpetually Protean: Downplayed. When Mad Jim Jaspers finally reveals himself as the Reality Warper behind the ongoing apocalypse, his hat keeps changing to fit his mood - and given how demented Jaspers is, he ends up wearing something new on every single panel. Later played straight in the case of his main universe counterpart - who in one scene shapeshifts from a giant-sized version of himself, his ordinary size, The Grim Reaper, the Devil, a stereotypical Sadist Teacher and a farmer driving a combine harvester. | |

Kangaroo Court: Saturnyne's trial has her accused of failing in her mission to preserve the omniverse and sentenced to death. The judge abiding the sentence is Mandragon... who also happens to be the prosecutor, and her successor if she is found guilty. He notably destroys Earth-238, which while preserving the omniverse, erased all possibility of her even defending herself. Captain Britain (our one) gets fed up, and simply busts her out, fleeing back to his world with her. | |

Chess Motifs | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_6d56cebf | comment |
Chess Motifs: Merlin has chess pieces representing the characters on his chessboard, observing their actions. What's weird is that the events are so great that he can't even control the chess pieces, and he seemingly dies when the Fury makes an unexpected appearance again. | |

Came Back Strong | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_703b3699 | comment |
Came Back Strong: Downplayed with Captain Britain. His powers were originally activated by the Amulet of Right, and the Star Scepter which enabled him to fly. During his time on Earth-238, Merlin changed his suit, and fused the equipment that gave Brian his abilities with it. Also, after the Fury killed him, Roma recreated his body with Captain Britain's powers already in him - the suit only allowing him to better control them. | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: During the whole Jaspers saga, the absence of the X-Men is... rather conspicuous. They dealt with a reality-warping mutant named Proteus only over a year before in real-life. Here's one creating chaos all over Britain, and that's before he starts actually using his powers to mess with reality. You'd think that they give the Captain Britains (both Brian and Linda) a hand. Guess that they only go to Britain to help out Moira in Muir Island, but never down in London. | |

Big Bad Ensemble: Aside from Jaspers, there's a motley of antagonists during the arc that pose a threat to Captain Britain, such as Mandragon, Mastermind, and Vixen. Jaspers easily eclipses all of them in time. The Fury would count... if it was anything more than a robot that beats up and shoots things. | |

Boomerang Bigot | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_7cf2f728 | comment |
Boomerang Bigot: Sir James Jaspers thinks that superhumans are a public threat to the United Kingdom, and the world at large. He even starts a campaign to get them out of the UK, and in Earth-238, orchestrated their extermination. However, Jaspers himself turns out to be a mutant, even boasting about how his mutated brain allows him to warp reality. Of course, by that point, he's too crazy to see a contradiction between the use of his tremendous powers and theirs and only cares about turning the world into his personal playground, with everyone as his clay dough. Sebastian Shaw is Jaspers' political ally and financial backer. It's not mentioned in the story, but any reader who knows him from X-Men will realise that he's a mutant cynically backing an anti-superhuman politician. | |

Shapeshifter Showoff Session: Shortly after the two of them successfully return Captain Britain to his home dimension, Roma demands to know why Merlin doesn't just show himself and explain things, if only to spare poor old Brian Braddock a great deal of pain. Merlin cheekily asks "which self?" and abruptly shifts between no less than five different forms over the next few panels; among them are a malevolent-looking sorcerer, a benevolent druid-like figure, and even a giant anthropomorphic spider... all to drive home the fact that Merlin may be Captain Britain's benefactor, but he's also a Shapeshifting Trickster. | |

| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_853a0e84 | comment |
Transformation Discretion Shot: Late in the story, Vixen makes an ill-advised attempt to assassinate her former ally Mad Jim Jaspers following his descent into reality-warping madness, only for Jaspers to retaliate by turning her into a fox (in other words, a real vixen). Instead of showing the transformation in full view - as was the case with Vixen's unfortunate henchmen - the scene is displayed through two panels of Jaspers seen from Vixen's point of view as she shrinks down, then a third-person view of Jaspers bending over to pick her up; in the fourth panel, we finally see the now-transformed Vixen being cuddled helplessly in Jaspers' arms. | |

Apocalypse How: The "Crooked World" (Earth-238), thanks to Jaspers' reality-warping, became an Class 2, moving onto Class3a. In fact, even before it had a chance for everything to get annihilated, it transitioned into an Class X-4, caused not by Jaspers, but by Mandragon to prevent the reality distortion from spreading. Before Captain Britain confronts his own Mad Jim, Merlin warns him that even erasing a universe won't contain him before long, and Jaspers ends up becoming an Class Z threat. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: Mad Jim Jaspers. Particularly the first one Captain Britain encountered (the one from Earth-238). His reality-warping had ruined his world beyond repair. Eventually, the universe is destroyed, but his creation, the Fury, continues to menace the heroes. The story moves along with Sir James Jaspers' policies affecting events, and the targeted killings of psychics. But Jaspers himself comes into the forefront near the end. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: Slaymaster is somehow capable of immobilizing Captain Britain's right shoulder, by hitting its pressure point. This is despite the fact one of Cap's powers is Nigh-Invulnerability. More so, he did it faster than Cap could react. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Sir James Jaspers, after using his reality-warping powers on a wider scale, eventually becomes loopier than a corkscrew. The name Mad Jim Jaspers becomes very apt afterwards. | |

Evil Only Has to Win Once: When Captain Britain arrives in 10 Downing Street, Merlin in a telepathic message explains that against Mad Jim Jaspers, with his reality-warping powers growing exponentially, losing is not much of an option: | |

It turns out that the Crazy Gang was literally created from the ground up by Mad Jim Jaspers. Fittingly, he explains his creation to them in a manner that describes him as God. | |

Nightmare of Normality: During their final showdown, Mad Jim Jaspers plunges Captain Britain into a world in which he's been in a coma for years and all his adventures were just dreams... and then awakens him from it just as quickly, just to mess with his opponent's head. | |

World Gone Mad | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_ef92caa4 | comment |
World Gone Mad: What the Jaspers Warp does to reality. Apparently, with enough reality-warping by Jaspers, the universe becomes irreparable. Earth-238 was considered a lost cause and destroyed simply to prevent it from spreading. | |

Expendable Alternate Universe | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_f31926c2 | comment |
Expendable Alternate Universe: Downplayed, and played with in-universe. Brian and Saturnyne don't see Earth-238 as expendable (although Saturnyne is willing to cut her losses and run when confronted by Jaspers). Mandragon, on the other hand, is entirely happy to annihilate the entire reality with the flick of a switch, to Brian's horror. | |

Enemy Civil War: A very brief one. When Vixen realises just how crazed Jim Jaspers is, she decides to assassinate him. Her team doesn’t stand a chance. | |

Gadgeteer Genius: Mad Jim Jaspers (Earth-238) explains that he created and programmed the Fury. In other words, he didn't even use his powers and outright built the thing with nothing more than his own brilliance. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Fascination of the Special Executive is usually seen just sort of dreamily floating around and getting into people's personal space. But when she's roused, she is one of the only characters capable of slowing down the Fury for even a moment. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
| Captain Britain: A Crooked World (Comic Book) / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: Mad Jim Jaspers doesn't care for the laws of physics anymore, and often creates rooms like these. Captain Britain is naturally disorientated by these. One particularly impressive example is when Captain Britain chases him into his office in 10 Downing Street... only to find himself floating in space met with a massive Jaspers, who's assumed a godlike form. | |
