The finger is on the Trigger, about to unleash a force with terrible powers beyond the comprehension of man. This force we shall know as the Mysterons. This man will be our hero, for fate will make him indestructible. His name, Captain Scarlet. This is the trigger: a Martian Exploration Vehicle, inside, three men from Earth…"
Voice over by Ed Bishop (Captain Blue) for the first episode "The Mysterons".
Set in 2068, the series follows the continuing battle of the World Organisation Spectrum against the Mysterons, who have launch a War of Nerves on Earth after their city has been mistakenly destroyed by a group of Earthling explorers, leaded by Spectrum's Captain Black. The Mysterons possess incredible powers, the least of which is their "power of reverting matter": They can take an object, or a person which has been destroyed or killed, an recreated it, him or her, to an exact copy… a copy they can control as their liking to exact their revenge on Earth. It's by the powers of the Mysterons that Captain Scarlet is killed, in the first episode, along with Captain Brown, then both recreated to try to assassinate the World President. Captain Brown dies in a kamikaze attack, allowing himself to explode with a bomb, so the World President would perish with him. But when the President survives the attempt, Captain Scarlet then kidnaps him and take him to the top of London Car-Vu, where, after a shoot out with Captain Blue, he is shot and falls to his second death, 800 feet bellow.
Now back fighting for Earth, Captain Scarlet has on his side all of Spectrum: colonel White, the commander in chief; Captain Blue, his friend and usual partner; the Angels, the beautiful female fighters pilots; lieutenant Green, and the others Captains. For the side of the Mysterons: Captain Black, whose body has been taken over by them, and who carries out their orders by killing and destroying, so they can continue to wreck havoc on Earth. The fight will go on, Scarlet demonstrating again and again his new capacities, not always winning, and often giving his life so others will be spared…
The world of Captain Scarlet, created by Century 21, is a very complex one. Follow the links for more details on each subject:
