Powers:

Electrical Control (i): after an encounter with Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, Brian manifested the ability to generate vast amounts of electricity. He can do this at intensity 11, though as of yet, he hasn't developed any power stunts with this ability, other than the following (not really a stunt) capability:

* Resistance to Electrical Attack (s): it is assumed that Brian has this power at least at a +5 rating, making him resistant to his own electrical attacks, if not to those of other electricity wielding opponents...

Equipment:

.455 Caliber Webley Revolver (a): Brian carried this six-shooter on his person at all times. It is a +3 pistol that fires silver-tipped bullets, made especially for hunting vampires...

Dagger (s): made from a silvered steel, this dagger has a material strength of 12, and can be used by Brian as a +2 edged instrument. Of course its true value is when wielded against, say, vampires...

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Acrobatics (a): nimble by nature, Brian's gymnastics training allows him to lower the difficulty of actions like dodging and reducing falling damage by one difficulty level, provided he has enough room to maneuver...

Boxing (s): Brian has been trained how to fight by his father, the original Union Jack. As such, he has the ability to split his total action score between two unarmed melee attack, the last of which being a contingent action. This comes in real handy in a brawl...

Knives (s): after hunting his vampiric uncle for years, Brian has found it necessary to learn how to use a knife to defend himself, and makes attacks with it at one difficulty level lower than usual. This comes in handy when fighting that pesky Baron Blood...

Marksmanship (a): Brian has been taught how to use modern firearms, both in his personal defense and against vampires. This allows him to use that silver-bullet firing gun he has to deadly effect against the undead...

Martial Arts (a): In addition to his boxing skill, Brian can bring his martial arts to bear on an opponent. This allows him to lower the difficulty of actions like catching thrown objects and reducing falling damage by one difficulty level.

Piloting (a): Brian was also a competent pilot of World War 2 era aircraft, knowing how they handle and what they're capable of. He could conceivably apply this knowledge to more advanced aircraft and/or alien spacecraft, if necessary.

Wrestling (s): if he inflicts damage with a wrestling attack, Brian can make a contingent action to hold on; this is an average difficulty action. If this succeeds, he can continue to inflict similar damage until the hold is broken or lifted.

Calling:

Guardian: as the second Union Jack, Brian felt that it was his duty to do all he could to protect his great nation. To this end, he joined the Invaders, and fought alongside them whenever they worked in Britain.

Costume:

Originally, Brian wore a rather interesting 'union suit'. It consisted of a gray, long-sleeved shirt with a skull drawn on it, gray trunks, a blue belt, red boots and gloves, red and blue striped stretch pants, a red belt, and a full, red head-covering hood with a pale blue face mask.

When he changed his heroic identity to that of Union Jack, however, this changed. Black in color, his costume was adorned with a red and white Union Jack symbol across the chest and back. It also had a mask that fully covered his face, and a hip hostler and knife sheath for his weapons.

Personality:

Brian Falsworth is English patriot and bears his role as Union Jack with great pride and seriousness; he is a shining light in England's dark times. Brian loves his family and goes to great lengths to protect them, which sometimes leads to reckless behavior on his part. He often had difficulty justifying his role as an Invader until he gained his lightning powers.

Story:

Not too much has been revealed about the childhood of Brian Falsworth. It is known that he grew up with his sister, Jacqueline, but other than that most of this period is a mystery. He has been a life-long compatriot and partner of Roger Aubrey, however, the two having apparently grown quite close before their fateful trip to Germany, when both men had their brush with the fantastic!

The two went there to see if Germany was as bad as everyone was saying, and found out this was quickly the case soon enough. The two were jailed and separated upon attempting to leave the country, with Brian being dumped into a cell with Eric Schmitt, who had developed a series of successful German variants on the Super-Soldier Serum, and was being held until he surrendered them.

Of course, this had happened to Schmitt before, and he had administered it to Keen Marlowe to keep it out of Nazi hands. Seeing another such opportunity, Schmitt gave his newest formula to Brian, drastically enhancing him - both physically and mentally. Escaping, Brian took on Marlowe's identity for a time, helping him to do his job behind German lines and further lower enemy morale.

Brian eventually accepted his own legacy in time, becoming the second Union Jack with his father's blessings, and quickly managed to rescue a captive team of Invaders in his new identity. Invited onto the team afterwards, Brian did his best to pull his weight but felt he was a bit outclassed - at least until a chance encounter with a time-displaced Thor: God of Thunder!

Upon being struck by this immortal's lightning, Brian was further changed. Developing electrical powers of his own, Brian used them both solo and with his fellow Invaders, fighting the forces of evil with both his augmented physical prowess and lightning wherever he could find them. Now more confident in his role as a super-hero, Brian feels he is living up to his father's mighty legacy!
