CAPTAIN MAGENTA

Captain Magenta, in the original 1960s programme Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, is the code name that the Spectrum Organisation has assigned to Patrick Donaghue, the former godfather of an organised-cybercrime syndicate whom the Spectrum Organisation recruited into its ranks out of its realisation that it would need a criminal mind to help it understand the criminal mind. Gary Files provides his character voice in the super-marionated programme. In New Captain Scarlet, Captain Magenta is the code name assigned to Mario Moro, an Italian-American former Military Police officer, who is also somewhat of a woman chaser aboard Skybase, his attentions often being turned towards its female personnel. His voice, in the hyper-marionated programme,was provided by Jeremy Hitchen.
