Line 17:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* ''[[Captain America (comics)]]'' might not be the first, but he's one of the most famous. However, he is one of the few who have actually earned the title of Captain.
** Major Glory of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|The Justice Friends]]'' is a spoof of this (major being a rank above captain in the U.S. Army).
* ''[[Captain Atom]]''
Line 25:
* [[The Flash]] rogues Captain Cold and Captain Boomerang are villainous examples.
* Another villain is [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]] foe Captain Nazi.
* The Captain from ''[[Nextwave]]''. A straight-up parody, as he kept trying to find things to put after "Captain" but kept encountering trouble with it. He went with "Captain ☠☠☠☠" at one point, but got his mouth washed out with soap by [[Captain America (comics)]].
{{quote|'''The Captain:''' I was Captain Power for a while. But then I got sued. Something about [[Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future|a cartoon]]. Then I changed it to [[Captain Ron]]. And got sued. Changed it to [[Church of Happyology|Captain L. Ron]]. Got beaten up by Tom Cruise. I was Captain Universe, but it turned out there was already a [[Captain Universe]]. Captain Ultra. There had been one of those. A plumber, would you believe. Broke into my apartment and left a horse's head in my water tank as a warning. Captain Avenger, taken. Captain Avalon, I had to give up(...)I tried Captain Marvel. There've been, like, eight [[Captain Marvel|Captain Marvels]]. One of them was an adult movie star with a lightning bolt on his...anyway. There was a Captain Kerosene. I mean, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel, and there was already a Captain Kerosene. That was my luck right there. I wasn't Captain Rectitude, but I was pretty much all of the other Captains at one time or another. So I gave up. I decided I was just The Captain. And then some marine-looking guy tracks me down and says, ''"I was The Captain First!"''. I had to pay him money in the end.}}
* ''[[Captain Confederacy]]''. Lampshaded in the backup strip "Saks and Violet", where comic artists in the Free City of New York briefly consider a "Captain NYC" character, and one asks why superheroes never seem to rise above Captain.
Line 54:
* ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'', a character from [[Nintendo]].
* Captain Qwark of ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]''
* Captain Falcon of ''[[F-Zero]]''. '''[[Super Smash Bros.|YES!]]'''
* Captain Smiley of ''[[Comic Jumper]]''.
