A New Version Of Prime Minister Boris Johnson For The Marvel Universe

In the new Captain Carter comic from Marvel Comics, we see a Peggy Carter who was given the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers in her universe, out of the ice and recruited to serve Britain.

And in this reality, the call comes from the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Harry, who looks like a young tech bro but has the verbal mannerisms and vocabulary of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Piffle? Bally? This is Boris Johnson to a T. And rather than being a member of SHIELD, Carter is recruited for the British organisation with ties to the Captain Britain storylines, STRIKE. Not the only ties to the Braddocks either.

Elizabeth Braddock, Brian Braddock's sister, Psylocke of the X-Men and current Captain Britain in the 616.

As for Boris Johnson, it is Jamie McKelvie writing the comic book. This is how his former creative partner Kieron Gillen recently depicted Boris Johnson in the comic book series Once & Future.

Lots of flag-waving piffle as above.

But just saying… it doesn't end well for "Bors".

Will Harry suffer a similar fate?
