Star Wars: Review: The Bad Batch: Series 2 Episodes 7 & 8: The Clone Conspiracy / Truth &Consequences Stargirl: Review: Series 3 Episode 12: Frenemies Chapter Twelve: The Last Will and Testament of SylvesterPemberton Captain Scarlet was killed in the first episode of the series, in a car crash brought about by the Mysterons, which also resulted in the death of fellow officer Captain Brown. Both men were reconstructed by the aliens, who assigned their exact likenesses of both men to assassinate the World President. The Captain Brown likeness was turned into a walking bomb for this purpose. When this attempt in New York failed, the Captain Scarlet likeness kidnapped the President from Cloudbase and flew him to England, taking him to the top of the London Car-Vu, a large car park tower. Cornered while holding the President at gunpoint over the city below, the Captain Scarlet likeness was shot by Captain Blue and fell 800 feet to his apparent destruction. However, at the end of the episode it was revealed that Captain Scarlet was returning to life and had become almost incapable of dying permanently, a power called "retro-metabolism", due to the powers of "reversal of matter" that the Mysterons possess, although the fall had broken the Mysteron programming and returned him to his original personality. This extraordinary ability heals Captain Scarlet of physical injuries--and even resurrects him from death--within hours, making him virtually indestructible.

The Avengers: Review: Big Finish Audio: The Comic Strip Adaptations: Steed and Mrs Peel 6.3: You Won’t Believe YourEyes Story-wise, it was a fast-paced and exciting tale of the Mysteron's ongoing war and the lengths they were prepared to go to. The writing of the Captain Scarlet character was superb, making him into the hero that he always has been but giving him layers of doubt and anger that are sometimes missing from his portrayals.

John Peel believes Captain Scarlet's self-healing power to be a major weakness of the original series. He also suggests that the character served as a poor role model to the "impressionable children" who made up most of the audience: "Parents didn't like their children watching a show that appeared to be encouraging them to hero-worship someone who was indestructible." He cites Batman as another 1960s TV series whose young viewers "sometimes tried to copy their heroes, often with nasty or lethal results." Peel believes that the incitement to act dangerously is sustained by the series's lyrical closing theme music, which includes the lines "They crash him, and his body may burn" and "They smash him, but they know he'll return... to live again." [20] These lyrics led production company Century 21 to make an alternative set of opening titles featuring a disclaimer, in the form of a voice-over by Donald Gray in character as Colonel White, warning: "Captain Scarlet is indestructible. You are NOT. Remember this. Do not try to imitate him!" Religious allegory [ edit ]
