Golden Age Origin
Centuries ago, a legendary warrior called "Iron Ace" fought by Charlemagne's side for France. When Iron Ace died, Charlemagne predicted that he would return as "the champion of freedom." During World War Two, Captain Britain, a British pilot, is shot down over France and forced to hide in the castle of Dr. LaFarge. LaFarge is the leader of a resistance group, but the Germans shoot him after they track Britain to his castle. Captain Britain puts on the old armour (still in perfect shape) of the Iron Ace and kills the Germans in the castle with the Ace's sword. He then makes himself a plane and, still wearing the Ace's plate armour, takes to the skies and kills a large number of Germans. The Ace has no super powers, but like his plane is so heavily armoured that he's bullet-proof. Iron Ace came into conflict with such villains as the Nazi known as Rubberman during his adventures.
