The Beefeater is a satirical superhero who appeared in DC Comics in Justice League #20.
[edit] History
Typical of the farcical treatment given to the superhero genre in the 1980s and 1990s Justice League comics, the Beefeater is similar to the rude and pompous Basil Fawlty, a character in the British television sitcom Fawlty Towers. He is Britain's hero using a power-rod used by his father (The Beefeater of the Second World War), to try and protect Britain, but instead causes havoc as he goes.
Michael Morice found the original Beefeater's costume and power-rod in his attic. After donning the costume he decided to join Justice League Europe, however the JLE Embassy's security system saw him as a threat and attacked him. This lead to the destruction of the JLE Paris Embassy, as the JLE and Beefeater tried to defend themselves from the security system (Justice League Europe #21).
