Death and Reconstruction
In "The Mysterons", Captain Brown, partnering Captain Scarlet, is appointed the leader of an operation to protect the World President from assassination at the hands of the extraterrestrials. However, while the captains drive to New York City, the Mysteron influence punctures one of the tyres on the their Spectrum Saloon, causing the vehicle to crash. The Mysterons duplicate the dead men's bodies and task the reconstructions to kill the President.
In New York, the Mysteronised Brown escorts the President to a Maximum Security Building. However, the reconstruction is actually a walking bomb and, once inside the President's office, exudes smoke and explodes. However, the President survives by activating an emergency escape hatch just before the detonation. Later, Scarlet kidnaps the President, but he is killed before inexplicably returning to life with his human consciousness restored.
Brown is a smoker and carries a cigarette case, his nationality is not revealed but he speaks with a refined British accent.

Famous quotes containing the words death and and/or death:
“I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
