Biography

Captain Invincible first appeared some time between 1919 to 1920 and continued his career throughout the 30s and 40s, fighting Bootleggers and Nazis and representing good and honesty, fighting evil and crime into the early 1950s. However, in 1953, 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 continued to wander around Sidney, homeless, drunken and barely conscious of anything around him. 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 he 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 after the U.S. President revealed he was inspired by him when he was a boy. 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 Manhattan's minorities, becoming a respected hero once again.
