I'm more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan (you might've guessed) and I wondered if DC Comics in the UK had created original characters like Marvel UK had (Captain Britain, Excabilur) or have British characters created in their comics (Blade, Black Knight)?

Also great to know FANDOM's lost it's bug! No, DC have never done that, mostly because DC have never had their own British division like Marvel UK. A number of companies in Britain have published licensed DC reprints over the years, but never anywhere near as successfully as Marvel UK, and generally not for very long. Imported DC titles were also generally nowhere near as widely distributed as Marvel titles back when high street distribution was still a thing. I think Marvel simply appealed more to the British mindset than DC's generally less realistic characters did, and DC as a company have never seemed terribly interested in capturing an audience outside the USA.
