There should totally be a four-issue Marvel miniseries featuring Captain America and Pete Wisdom and Sunfire and a collection of Marvel’s never-used “international” superheroes like Shamrock and Defensor and they’ll all be trapped in Arcade’s deathtraps and it should be called Murderworld Cup.

We got 4 years before the next one. LET’S GET THIS SHIT DONE.
Pete Wisdom over Union Jack or Captain Britain?
Pete Wisdom would do what neither of them would do – namely, complain about being forced to wear a jumpsuit with a big Cross of St. George on it.
Has to be Pete Wisdom for Britain; that would allow the use of a deep conspiracy being investigated by M-13. Or just a anticiapted rescue that goes horribly awry. Not to mention the fight Shamrock and Wisdom would have over British involvement in Northern Ireland.
And all of the lettering is replaced with “ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”.
The group of death would be whoever is stuck playing against Latveria.
What does Latveria’s football team wear? Green and silver-grey?
Oh, and Wolfsbane would of course fail to qualify.
Yes, yes there should be.
I, too, initially wondered why not Captain Britain? After all, he’s an alcoholic with an inhumanly hot wife and a national strip.
But it’s right there in the name. Britain, not England. Whereas Wisdom is as English as they come. Hell, he grew up in Hungerford.
Also, Batroc or it doesn’t count.
The real question we should be asking areselves is who does Canada recruit for this role? Last I check Alpha Flight were all still dead, but that doesn’t mean they don’t keep some spare Vidicator or Guardian armor around. Do they promise all the beer in Canada to get Wolverine to play for them? Or do they just count their lucky stars that Deadpool can’t remember which country he was born in and pay him to take this on?
Next European Football Championship is in two years time – some hire Cornell now!
Lister: “Last I check Alpha Flight were all still dead”
You were wrong when you checked; Sasquatch, Northstar and Aurora, and Box are all still alive. And there is no character in comics better at coming back from the dead to go die again than Mac Hudson. If there was any justice in the universe, he’d be the poster boy for laughably common and pointless resurrections, not Jean Grey.
deadpool with a vuvuzela, y/n
Lance: Yes, a thousand times yes.
MGK: It sounds like you’ve discussed this with Flapjacks. If that is so, hilarious conversation transcript please.
Cap is down, but with his one last gasp of energy he throws his shield at Pete Wisdom, and Wisdom raises his hand to easily block it. Oh! But Wisdom has misjudged and the shield slips off his hand, bonking him in the head and knocking him out. Both men are down; it’s a tie!
Latveria vs Wakanda, Symkaria vs Madripoor– you could devote a couple of issues just for Marvel’s fictional countries.
I think we should consider that the events of the Murderworld Cup should get as much consideration as the participants. I’m all for representing Scotland with an explosive caber toss.
I love this idea. Also, I recommend finding the episode of Super Hero Squad where Wolverine quits the Squad to go work with Captain America, and is forced to accept the name “Captain Canada” because everybody working with Cap is named Captain Whatevernationthey’refrom. It was great stuff.

I have a copy of UXM 158. AFAIK, he still *is* a captain in the RCAF.
