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.

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!"

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.

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 EURO® 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.

I've never heard about Captain Euro before, but I guess Robin would fit nicely into his team. I hope no money from Brussels helped to make that crap.
Oh, the pain, the agony !
Let me go back to iron my personal white flag so it unfolds nicely should one of you internet warriors come over to invade Europe.

Reply #10. Cromlech a Britisher, isn't he?
And me.
As to Captain Euro...
I know very little about him. I first heard of him a few years ago (a very brief news item on TV), and thought "WTF? What sort of absurd propoganda exercise is this?"
Just found a minor BBC news comment on it, here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1578910.stm
Note the date is 2001. Given that I've never, ever seen any Captain Euro cartoons, merchandise, etc, and this thread is the only other time I've heard mention of him, I think the answer has to be "A totally ineffective one".
