Captain Perfect
Captain Perfect was a major superhero of Reality Z-25 31-H, principally active in New York City. Though never an outright supervillain, it surfaced, over the span of his long career, that he was not the morally-upstanding paragon he claimed, being prone to arrogance and acts motivated by self-interest. He had a complex, on-again-off-again relationship with fellow veteran hero Centennia.
Description
Physical appearance
By the 2010s Captain Perfect was a handsome, thin, middle-aged white man with short, fair hair. He had angular features and covered the top half of his face with a mask. He did not wear any more of a “costume”, favouring well-tailored suits. In his prime, however, he had previously worn a more traditional spandex costume complete with an opulent cape.

Personality
Captain Perfect was a self-centered celebrity used to getting his way and breezing past scandals on sheer charisma. He committed various acts of dubious morality and legality, such as insider trading on the stock market, and seemed to care little that they had come out in public, so long as he stayed free of actual consequences.

Biography
Golden age
According to Hero Hour's overview of his life, when he emerged, Captain Perfect was “a hero to millions” and was soon invited to join the Mighty Protectors. However, he began trying to leverage his fame for personal interest, founding a corporation under his superhero alias. For a time, however, the Captain's popularity took a down turn. Accusations of insider training nearly drove the company he'd founded to bankruptcy (although wrongdoing was never legally proven), and his personal life also took a down turn when a scandal arose from explicit footage of him and Centennia being leaked.

Return
Around the time of Captain Evening's formation of the Odds, (COMIC: Redistribution) Captain Perfect began perfecting an official, highly-publicised “come-back”. A prestige movie about his life as a hero was screened, with himself and Centennia both attending the premiere, and he also arranged to be presented with the Keys to the City. As part of this public relations effort, he was interviewed on Hero Hour, where he cockily declared that he'd “never really been gone”. (COMIC: Interview With A Superhero)
