Watch out!! Captain Video may be watching you! But only in a benevolent way. Yeah, right. Anyway, the good Captain shows up in Ms. Victory's shower (yeah, isn't that convenient) and invites her to take a tour of his Rocky Mountain headquarters. Seems the good captain (aren't there any majors or colonels in comics?) was once a research scientist working on a way to bring sight to the blind when he was made blind himself by a jealous associate. Continuing his work he gave himself 360 degree vision (not really sure how that would work or if you would get dizzy and confused) and got rich making wealthy blind men see again. He created the Rocky Mountain complex with sensors all over the world, invisible to us poor mortals, with which he could monitor for nastiness all over the planet with his trained cadre of like-minded voyeur do-gooders. The captain shows up from time to time in the Femforce and related comics to help save the day. When I decided to do Captain Video I also wanted to do a bunch of his assistants and also the disembodied head he shows up in your shower as. The captain was made from a Toy Biz Cyclops figure that I cleaned up and then sculpted the various costume accessories on. I used a Cyclops head for the disembodied version (at the captain's feet). Then I used a bunch of assorted heads and bodies to make the assistants. In one color story Captain Video showed up with gold costume accents and in another with silver but I liked the silver best so that's the color I went with.
