Captain Britain provides examples of the following tropes:

Action Mom: Kelsey Leigh is a single mother of two children, Martin and Jenny.
Adaptive Ability: The Fury. Whenever Linda McQuilan dreams, it's about the last stand of the heroes in her world, Fury repeatedly described them as doing impossible things (Including the killing of Miracleman).
Affirmative Action Legacy: The first Captain Britian, Brian Braddock, is male. While his successor is female, Kelsey Leigh.
Airstrip One: The Captain Britain Corps - The gathering of the Captain Britain counterparts from every alternative universes. - Includes a Captain Airstrip-One, which seems to came from a world that's similar to Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four.
Amplifier Artifact: When Brian received his second costume from Merlyn, it contains the Amulet of Right's and the Star Scepter's powers. Another was when Merlyn remade the young Braddock's body, so that his powers can come from within, but were still dependent on Brain's proximity to the British Isles, Merlyn also updated the suit to be as a sort of battery back-up, which will allow Captain Britain to retain his powers if he was away from Britain. Just as long as Brain wears the suit.*Several of the Captain Britain Corps' costumes have similar power granting or power amplifying abilities.
Animal Motifs: Brian's original costume features a golden lion emblem on his chest, whereas Kelsey's costume calls back to the original lion crest.
Attending Your Own Funeral: Kelsey Leigh went as Captain Britain to attend her own funeral.
Back from the Dead: Merlyn made sure that the Fury did not kill Brian off for real.*According to her backstory, Kelsey is killed by Thunderball, but she was resurrected when she got the Captain Britain powers and mantle.
