That...is insanely complex. The Council of Cross-Time Kangs were the Kangs who defeated their own Council of Kangs which were, usually, alternate counterparts diverged from themselves due to their own wacky time travel. So, technically, not every Kang would be a member of the Cross-Time Kangs, just one of each true identity (one Nathaniel Richards, for example), but every Kang was likely part of the Council of Kangs. BUT, since every Council of Kangs were comprised of the same general person, then...well...again...insanely complex. As all things Kang are (which is why it was such a good idea to split up his various identities).

The Spidey Super Stories Cap is a confirmed member. He's the 57780 Brian I mentioned above.

None of the animated series are mentioned in the Handbooks in any capacity besides getting mentioned in the Universe listings, but I don't see why they'd be excluded. And, keep in mind, a lot of Captain Britains (Brian Braddocks anyway) are not referenced in any material, aside from the Handbooks, as being members of the Corps. 161 Brian, for instance, is only seen in a single panel, not even in costume. 9105 Brian is just seen as part of a larger collage of heroes of that reality. I'd be surprised if ANY who haven't appeared in a Corps story have any reference to the Corps in their histories.

But I do like the idea of "presumed member". Kind of hard to prove someone ISN'T involved in something, but with a group that spans the Multiverse, it would be odd for there to be a Captain Britain who somehow escaped Merlyn's scheming.
