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).

    “Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    “Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
