Here are Captain Britain's powers just in case people were wondering:
Powers and abilities
Brian Braddock has superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and near-invulnerability. Brian can lift approximately 90 tons under optimum conditions and his mystical link with Britain also enhances his stamina and reflexes to superhuman levels. The energy that powers his abilities is drawn from inter-universal space.
His power of flight allows him to fly at a maximum speed of 770mph and renders him immune to the atmospheric effects of flying at high speeds. His near invulnerability is provided by a force field closely over his skin. This force field can stand a bazooka shell without any deformation. It is currently understood that repeated impacts will weaken the field and eventually penetrate it.
However, the exact weakness of the force field has altered, partly because of a poor grasp of continuity by writers and editors. Originally it was completely impenetrable, but required continued concentration on Brian's part to maintain it. Subsequently a weakness was introduced by Alan Moore within the plot that established there was a very small, but vulnerable point near the left shoulder; and also that some highly advanced technology could be used to pierce the field. Since then it has been breached in a variety of ways. During Excalibur it was more or less forgotten, and was at one point demoted to a force field to protect him from atmospheric conditions when flying. There also seems to be confusion as to whether the force field is projected by Brian or part of the suit. Strictly speaking since The Daredevils it is an ability he personally possesses, however it may be that he is not yet aware of this fact, and still believes it is an inherent part of the suit. After all in a later issue of Excalibur he specifically refers to the suit as generating the force field.
Brian is also the twin of Betsy Braddock - because of this they are immune to each others powers and the two share a strong psychic bond.
For a time, all of his abilities were localized to Britain; if he went abroad for too long a time without wearing his costume, his powers eventually diminished to nothing. His costume acts as an antenna and battery, allowing him to retain his powers wherever he goes. Again this idea has not been consistent and during the appearance of Excalibur in Quasar he states that both Meghan and he will lose their powers outside of the UK although he is wearing his costume at the time. Indeed, the whole device of Brian and Meghan's powers fading outside the UK seems to flatly contradict episodes in Captain Britain monthly where they consecutively visited Africa, Russia, and ancient South America without any apparent diminution of their abilities.
He is also a scientist, though he rarely has the opportunity to exercise his training as a physicist.
When he and Meggan destroyed the Otherworld energy matrix at Roma's prompting, however, the energies that allowed him to retain his power within the UK without his costume were dissipated. Hence, to retain his powers anywhere on Earth, he must wear the costume at all times.
Originally, his powers were linked to the Amulet of Right, worn around his neck, and he depended on a mace-like Star Scepter to fly. Later on Merlyn changed his costume just before he entered an alternate Earth (Earth-238), removing the Amulet and the Scepter placing the powers in his new costume. Not long after that he was killed by the Fury and had his body remade by Merlyn, who chose this point to make his powers innate and stronger, with his costume merely serving as a "battery" and amplifier.

Captain America wins 10/10. usaflag
Once again, it will not be explained how he will win as the list of possible methods he could use is far to long to list here. All will simply accept that out of the literally millions of ways he could win, Captain America will select the easiest and/or coolest one to use.

thats true but even thor would get his ass handed to him in that realm.
His realm is England, and Juggernaut handed him his ass in Britain. Also, you evidently know nothing about the God of Thunder. Thor cracks planets in two with Mjolnir. He'd turn Captain Britain into a French Fry.
