History
The early life and history of Meggan Puceanu largely mirrors that of her Earth-616 counterpart.
Origins[]
Meggan Puceanu was a powerful shapeshifter, whose form and personality was shaped by the opinions of others. Upon meeting the young Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, Meggan transformed into a beautiful woman and hero, the object of the captain's lusts and desires. Meggan became a member of Excalibur, a team mostly composed of mutants and created by Captain Britain to defend the world. At some point, Meggan and Brian were married. [2]
Mutation of Humanity[]
At some point after the mutation of humanity, Brian ascended to the throne of the United Kingdom as King Britain, with Meggan as his queen. The two continued to fight alongside Excalibur, and eventually fought against the Grey Gargoyle. The Gargoyle used his powers to petrify them, leaving them trapped as stone statues. In his rage, Captain Britain killed the Gargoyle, and thus condemned them to forever remain petrified. Brian retrieved Excalibur, the mythical sword of King Arthur himself, hoping that it could free them, but ultimately dared not use it, afraid that the sword would kill them instead. He sought out countless alternate reality versions of the Grey Gargoyle, both heroic and villainous, bringing them to his own world in the hopes that they might reverse the petrification, to no avail.[1]
Paradise X[]
Following the destruction of Death itself at the hands of Kree hero Mar-Vell, the devil Mephisto, utterly defeated by Mar-Vell, was also forced to accept the truth; that he was not in fact the devil, that there was no day of judgement awaiting him, and that instead, he was merely a deviant, manipulated by the Celestials and whose mutation, much like Meggan's, caused him to be shaped by the beliefs and fears of those around him.[3]
Mephisto sought vengeance against humanity, and began sowing chaos throughout the world. Posing both as Captain UK and an alternate reality version of the Grey Gargoyle, Mephisto freed Meggan and the others shortly after the marriage of King Britain and Medusa of the Inhumans, causing a rift between the newly wedded couple and throwing the validity of their marriage into question.[4]
Meggan expected Brian to honor their love and leave Medusa, but as Brian was now a king, he was forced to set aside his feelings. Meggan attempted to convince Medusa to step aside, but was heartbroken when Brian ultimately chose to honor his wedding to Medusa. When Mephisto finally made his move and stormed Buckingham Palace with an army of Deviants to claim Excalibur, Meggan impersonated her erstwhile husband to distract Mephisto. During the fight, Meggan sacrificed her life stopping Mephisto from succeeding in securing the sword. She was avenged by Brian, who used the blade to kill Mephisto.[5] [6]
Upon her death, Meggan's soul made its way to the Realm of the Dead. Here, she found love in the arms of an alternate reality version of Brian Braddock.[7]See Also
