Dr. Evil (Captain Action) - Creation and Character Description

Creation and Character Description

During Captain Action's first two years while fighting for justice in his 13 different super hero personas, he had no adversaries outside those imagined by kids who played with him. Then in 1968 the sinister invader of earth was created by Ideal Toys to battle Captain Action and Action Boy insidiously named Dr. Evil aka Dr. Tracy, father of Captain Action's late wife (Facts based on DC Comics in which due to a malfunction in his lab altered him into an intellectual being). It is obvious he was a creature with pale blue skin with bulging bloodshot eyes with black pupils, pointy ears, a menacing grimace with red lips and teeth, and an exposed brain. And like Captain Action he was a master of disguise, although only two masks were available for him back then which were Dr. Tracy and Dr. Ling (Dr. Evil used the same body mold as the captain, 12" tall and jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles). Unfortunately, the attempt of bringing an enemy to the Captain Action line failed, during his last third wave. (In late 1968 a second issue of Dr. Evil was done including evil disguises and weapons commonly referred to as The Lab Kit in a 13" X 16" window display box).

Famous quotes containing the words creation, character and/or description:

    “The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
    —Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

    “With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
    —Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)

    “Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
    —Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
