Captain Nice

1967 · 1 season

A gentle, silly superhero spoof that plays like a live-action cartoon, full of campy costumes and mother-dominated gags.

Overview: Carter Nash was a chemist in a police department who discovered a liquid which could turn him into Captain Nice, an odd sort of superhero: very shy and dominated by his mother. Captain Nice flew (he feared heights) in his tattered leotards, fighting bad guys because his mother told him to do so.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, light and whimsical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, identity, power, parenthood
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
