Captain Euro has taken a difficult vow: "To use, wherever possible, intellect, culture and logic - not violence - to take control of difficult criminal situations." Captain Euro is a diplomatic hero - the symbol of European unity and values.

You can't make this shinola up.

He makes Aquaman appear a colossus of superhero-dom by comparison.

I wonder if Ms. Euro is an advocate for topless beaches?

That can't be a wolf, or they'd have to convince it that it's bad for killing deer and other living things. grin

Should be a poodle.

And man, talk about your "token black character"...this is like circa 1970's stuff.

I'm surprised they didn't give the chick and the parrot evil goatees as well.

Because anyone who enjoys the finer things and making money = evil in Europe.

Is it just me or does he seem to be bending over in the picture?

I think it is more like "stop now, or I will convene a blue-ribbon committee to discuss this."

So ... the bad guys are all just standing there. The only one who is doing anything is the little fella and he's just making the "I love you" sign.

So what does Cap'n Euro do, seeing a group of baddies doing nothing more threatening than saying "I love you" in sign language? He runs like the dickens, that's what. Worse, he leaves his poor girlfriend in the dust. "Screw you, Europa! I'm gonna save myself!"

The best part is the upcoming cross-over series.

Captain Euro / Captain Planet : The.........

I'm out, what's a funny book title for that scenario?

At least the villains look like yet more Eurotrash, instead of "American Capitalists promoting the Global Warming/Haliburton conspiracy"...

thats too bad for words.... Sometimes I think the Inmates are running the asylum.

at least with a mindset like that, we'll have no trouble kicking their asses should ye olde europe want to throw down again.

You won't laugh so hard when he hits you with his SuperWeapon: A bound copy of the EU Constitution. It's up to what, 700 pages?

I had to laugh, jfruser, when I saw your little tag line next to the post: Western Civilization is worth fighting for laugh

It said his stunner was pocket size. I didn't think they allowed concealed weapons. I notice it doesn't look like a gun either.

Click on the link to the captain Euro page. Then click on the "Baddies" link on the bottom of the page. Read through the bios, particularly "Dr. D.Vider" and the parrot at the bottom.

Not only are they trying to discourage self-defense, but they're bashing capitalism and hunting too!

Dr. D Vider:
Ruthless speculator, curator and collector of ancient curiosities, DAVID VIDERIUS is a former financier. He is a multi-millionaire, used to making money no matter if it might involve the suffering of others. Banned and ostracised from the financial world for unprofessional conduct he managed to escape arrest despite his involvement in financial scandal.

Having disappeared for many years, he reappeared as DR D VIDER. He manages a holding company, DIVIDEX, controlling hundreds of different businesses across Europe and beyond.

EEEeeevil Capitalist. Probably even has relatives in America.

And of course "division" (used to be called "National Sovereignty" in my day) is bad.

EU uber alles.

Quote

The European Union is now composed of 25 countries. The EURO has become a successful global currency.
Over 500 million Europeans are now more and more willing to identify with a strong and united EUROPE. Captain Euro plays a crucial role in the building of a European identity. His message is about protecting and nurturing European diversity and culture while creating a strong and powerful brand that unites us at European level.

Captain EUROÂ® is an internationally registered brand created by Twelve Stars Communications. He's fun. He's friendly and he appeals to all Europeans because he's totally multicultural and non-political. In other words, he is a true European - through and through. Captain EURO symbolises Europe's new popular culture. Europeans will identify with Captain EURO and related characters are applied to almost anything from T-shirts and stationery, to comic books and video games.

Everyone will want to identify with the Captain EURO brand. It brings emotion to the concept of a united Europe, adding value to products and services.

Captain EURO is the super-hero of Europe. He's the protector of Europe who holds out for justice, who promotes peace and carries the message of goodwill around the world.

As Captain EURO and his partner, EUROPA, embark on one mission after another, breath-taking adventures unravel before them. The two take off at a second's notice, bringing together millions of Europeans and protecting wildlife and the environment as they go. Wherever they are, everyone recognises their distinctive European branding.

Captain EURO makes everyone proud to be European.

Don't you just love the smell of propoganda?
