Revision as of 19:46, 2 April 2021 by Scrooge MacDuck (talk | contribs) (Scrooge MacDuck moved page Scarlet (fictional character) to Scarlet (Captain Scarlet in Death Crash!): This should have been done as soon as his flesh-and-blood appearance in "Party Animals" was found, really.)
This topic might have a better name.

When coverage of Action 21 is finished, the majority of sources will depict Captain Scarlet as a real person, not one of fiction. As such, the page should be renamed as per standard dabbing policy to Scarlet (Captain Scarlet in Death Crash!). Obviously a redirect should still exist to the current name.

Talk about it here.

This article needs a big cleanup.

Needs to be rewritten with "account" language to consider sources which portray Scarlet as real.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Behind the scenes

Captain Scarlet was the principal character of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a TV series created by Sylvia and Gerry Anderson and produced by Century 21 Productions.

  • The "About the Authors" section of Short Trips: Christmas Around the World refers to writer William Potter as "putting words into the mouths of", among others, Captain Scarlet. This is in reference to New Captain Scarlet, a magazine published by GE Fabbri between October 2005 and February 2006.
  • The Indestructible Man has a number of pastiche versions of Gerry Anderson characters such as Scarlet. The title character, Captain Grant Matthews (Scarlet), was reconstructed by the Myloki (Mysterons) so that he couldn't die. As a member of the organisation PRISM (Spectrum), the colour-coded officer's uniform assigned to him was scarlet. The war with the Myloki is started by Captain Karl Taylor (Captain Black) who is recreated as a Myloki agent.
