Biography

Captain Invincible first appeared during World War II, fighting criminals and Nazis and representing good and honesty and kept fighting evil and crime well into the 1950's. However, some time in the 1950's, Captain Invincible was accused of being a communist (as well as violating US air space, impersonating a military officer by using the name "Captain" and indecent outfits) and was publicly scorned by the population. Deciding America no longer needed him, Captain Invincible under a cloud of allegations from House of Unamerican Activities, flew to Australia and fell into a vicious cycle of drinking and depression.

Thirty years passed and Captain Invincible decided to live in the crown of the Statue of Liberty, surrounded by momentoes of his old victories. Invincible was sought to return to action when his arch-nemesis Mr. Midnight returned and stole a hypno-ray. Patty Patria, an Australian police officer, found Invincible after she saved her life from Midnight's men and asked him to return to action.  Captain Invincible was hesitant at first, feeling that people have changed for the worst and lost their ideals, but agreed to try to put an end to Mr. Midnight. However, first Invincible needed to get back into training to overcome years of alcoholism and being out of practice.

Eventually, he faced Mr. Midnight, who attempted to tempt him back into alcoholism. Captain Invincible nonetheless defeated Mr. Midnight and his plot to kill the world's minorities and became a respected hero once again.
