Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons
Captain Blue is voiced by the late Ed Bishop and is an expert pilot. He can competently drive most Spectrum vehicles. He is brave, diligent, patient and a natural leader, but is also obedient and respects the orders of Colonel White. He partners Captain Scarlet on most missions and, although his friend is indestructible, constantly fears for his safety. For example, in the episode "Winged Assassin", Blue tries to prevent Scarlet from suicidally ramming the wheels of a Mysteronised airliner using an SPV.
Blue acts as commander of Cloudbase during Colonel White's absence in "White as Snow" and replaces Lieutenant Green as the bases communications officer in "Avalanche". However, he occasionally disobeys commands out of his own curiosity. For example, he refuses to leave a rocket base targeted by its own missile in "Renegade Rocket", choosing to remain behind with Captain Scarlet in a desperate attempt to find the projectile's self-destruct code. In "Special Assignment", Blue is unaware that Scarlet's discharge from Spectrum is part of the Captain's undercover mission and leaves Cloudbase without authorisation to reason with him.
Physically active, Blue enjoys visiting Australia to go surfing, water-skiing and deep-sea fishing.
A romance with Symphony Angel is indicated in some episodes. In "Manhunt", Blue is distressed by Captain Black's kidnapping of Symphony and is anxious to venture into an atomic centre to rescue her. In "Attack on Cloudbase", the characters share a long gaze after Symphony experiences a terrifying nightmare.

Famous quotes containing the word scarlet:
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
