Beefeater (Michael Morice) is a fictional character, a comic book superhero published by DC Comics. He appeared in his civilian identity as Michael Morice in Justice League International Annual #3 (1989), and debuted as Beefeater in Justice League Europe #20 (November 1990) in a story by Keith Giffen, Gerard Jones and Marshall Rogers. His codename and appearance are taken from the uniform of the Yeomen Warders.
Beefeater is similar to 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 first Beefeater, who operated during World War II) to try to protect Britain, but instead causes havoc as he goes.
