Captain Indigo (real name unspecified, designated Andrew Laurence in an issue of New Thunderbirds Comic, although not necessarily canonical) is a characters in the 1960s Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.
Like Captain Brown, he appears in only one episode — "Spectrum Strikes Back" — in which he is killed. Captain Black murders the officer, who works in a hunting lodge, and he is reconstructed as a Mysteron agent. When this is revealed by a Mysteron Detector, the reconstruction sabotages the conference by locking the lodge in its descent setting. He then escapes in a car with the key to the control mechanism, leaving the delegates to be crushed by the building above.
Captain Indigo is not presented in a Spectrum uniform - instead, he is dressed as a barman. It is plausible that the production could not afford the cost of a new Spectrum uniform. His shirt, however, is indigo. Actor Gary Files provided the voice of Indigo.

Famous quotes containing the word captain:
“Now that I had heard a part of his history, he appeared singularly destitute,—a captain without any vessel, only a greatcoat! and that perhaps a borrowed one! Not even a dog followed him; only his title stuck to him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
