In 2068, the indestructible Captain Scarlet leads the agents of Spectrum in a war of nerves against the Mysterons, who seek revenge for the accidental destruction of their base on Mars.
In the year 2068, Earth receives a mysterious signal from Mars, a newly formed international intelligence and anti-terrorist organization, Spectrum, whose agents are code-named according to various colors, sends one of their top agents, Captain Black, on a mission to find the signal source. He and his crew discover a hidden alien race called The Mysterons, who are curious about Earth and its inhabitants and send signals to meet new life. However Black mistakes a camera for a cannon and orders an attack on the Mysteron complex. This misunderstanding provokes the Mysterons to declare a war of nerves on Earth and throughout the series, they continually make terrorist threats to either kill VIPs such as world leaders, destroy locations such as cities and countries, and in some cases even entire continents. They then attempt to follow through with their threats by using what the Mysterons call "the ability of Retrometablism", simply put they can create an exact duplicate of anyone or anything they kill/destroy and it will be under their control. The Mysteron's first act is to take over Captain Black's mind who then becomes the Mysterons top agent on earth. Meanwhile, Spectrum is put in charge of combating the Mysterons, and when one of their other top agents Captin Scarlet is killed and subjected to the Mysteron duplication process, but he was still alive at the time and as a result, his clone was able to shake off the Mysterons' control. This event gives Scarlet the added side effect of being virtually indestructible and impossible to kill, he can survive any wound as he will eventually heal himself to full recovery. This leaves Captain Scarlet to become Spectrums' greatest asset in the fight against the Mysterons. As an agent of Spectrum, Captain Scarlet is under the leadership of Colonel White, who with the help of his right-hand man, Lieutenant Green are ready to mobilize Spectrum forces at a moment's notice from the airborne aircraft carrier called Cloudbase stationed high above the clouds. These include its fighter squadron, The Angels (5 beautiful yet deadly and skilled female combat pilots) piloting their Angel Interceptors as well as a fleet of other Spectrum Vehicles such as the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicles (SPV), the Spectrum Saloon Cars (SSC), the Spectrum Passenger Jets (SPJ) and the Spectrum Helicopters among the many others. So when a Mysteron threat is announced Captain Scarlet together with his partner, Captain Blue as well as the other Spectrum Captain's seen in the series Captain Ocher, Captain Magenta, and Captain Gray, must be constantly vigilant to fight against the deadly alien menace of the Mysterons from Mars.—George Ferguson ([email protected]
In the year 2068, Earth receives a mysterious signal from Mars. A newly formed international intelligence and anti-terrorist organization, Spectrum-whose agents are code-named after various colors-sends one of their top operatives, Captain Black, on a mission to locate the signal's source. During the mission, Black and his crew discover a hidden alien race known as the Mysterons. The Mysterons, curious about Earth and its inhabitants, send signals in an attempt to establish contact with new life. However, Captain Black mistakes a camera for a weapon and orders an unprovoked attack on the Mysteron complex. This tragic misunderstanding provokes the Mysterons to declare a "war of nerves" against Earth.
Throughout the series, the Mysterons make terrorist threats to assassinate VIPs, such as world leaders, destroy cities and countries, and, in some cases, devastate entire continents. To carry out their threats, the Mysterons employ a power they call "Retrometabolism." This ability allows them to create exact duplicates of any person or object they kill or destroy, with the duplicates under their total control. The Mysterons' first act of retaliation is taking over Captain Black's mind, turning him into their top agent on Earth. Meanwhile, Spectrum is tasked with combating this alien menace.
When another of their top agents, Captain Scarlet, is killed and subjected to the Mysterons' duplication process, an extraordinary event occurs. Because Scarlet was still alive during the process, his duplicate manages to break free of the Mysterons' control. This incident leaves Scarlet with an unexpected side effect: he becomes virtually indestructible, able to survive any wound and fully heal over time. Scarlet's unique resilience makes him Spectrum's greatest asset in the fight against the Mysterons.
As an agent of Spectrum, Captain Scarlet works under the leadership of Colonel White, who, alongside his right-hand man Lieutenant Green, mobilizes Spectrum forces from their airborne headquarters, Cloudbase, stationed high above the clouds. Spectrum's resources include a fighter squadron known as the Angels-five skilled and deadly female pilots operating Angel Interceptors-as well as a range of advanced vehicles, such as Spectrum Pursuit Vehicles (SPVs), Spectrum Saloon Cars (SSCs), Spectrum Passenger Jets (SPJs), and Spectrum Helicopters, among others.
When the Mysterons announce a threat, Captain Scarlet, along with his partner Captain Blue and other Spectrum agents like Captain Ochre, Captain Magenta, and Captain Grey, must remain ever-vigilant. Together, they fight tirelessly to protect Earth from the relentless and deadly alien menace of the Mysterons.
