Captain Callum

Captain Callum is a self-proclaimed survival "expert" who stars in his own series titled "Captain Callum's Adventures," where he endeavors to impart life-saving lessons to his audience. Despite his tough and intelligent facade, Captain Callum's true nature contradicts these qualities.

In the first season, Captain Callum appears to form a friendship with a rare bear species, but tragically ends up accidentally killing the bear, finding humor in the situation.

Captain Callum can be perceived as bossy, as seen when he gave orders to his former sidekick, JJ, although he genuinely cared for JJ and his well-being.

Following JJ's untimely demise in the episode "Promotion ft. Captain Callum," Captain Callum experiences a sense of uselessness and depression. While he conceals his emotions, the subsequent episode, "NATURE ft. Captain Callum," reveals his struggle to move forward and continue the show.

Returning to his show as a solo act, Captain Callum maintains his trademark antics. However, in subsequent episodes after JJ's death, he occasionally reminisces or alludes to JJ in some manner.

In the episode "Rifle Rob: Animal Hunter ft. Captain Callum," Captain Callum is shot but is later aided and befriended by a man named Rob, known as Rifle Rob. Reluctantly, Captain Callum agrees to share the forest equally with him, opening up about his difficulty in forming connections.

Captain Callum Explores The Universe showcases a glimpse into his origins. The film begins in 2017, before the first episode, with a seemingly ordinary Callum wandering aimlessly in the forest. He sits despondently on a rock in a stream until a floating hat comes into his possession, inspiring him to become Captain Callum.

The film then jumps to the present day, where Captain Callum concludes an episode and expresses his weariness or potential depression off-camera, hinting at his state of mind.

Captain Callum informs Rifle Rob of his departure for the day, but Rob insists on hanging out. Captain Callum initially declines but eventually gives in and the two play a game of poker at his house. During their conversation, Captain Callum reveals his habit of eating alone and brushes off questions about his life, feeling that it lacks excitement.

Rob proposes taking Captain Callum to a place that would inspire him, and though hesitant, Captain Callum reluctantly agrees. That night, Captain Callum returns to his bedroom and is awakened by a loud noise from the backyard. Investigating, he discovers a small meteorite in his yard, perceiving it as a sign or stroke of luck, possibly from JJ in the afterlife or as a general positive omen.

The following morning, Captain Callum goes to meet Rob in the forest but finds him missing. Anxious that Rob may have suffered a similar fate as JJ, Captain Callum panics. Discovering Rob's broken shotgun and encountering a white fog, Captain Callum is transported to another dimension.

In this alternate dimension, Captain Callum encounters Lance and another version of himself from The Supercat Video Universe. Astonished, he converses with Lance about his arrival and shares the situation about Rob's disappearance. Lance assures Captain Callum that they can return home by utilizing magical stones in his possession.

The sight of these stones startles Captain Callum, evoking unpleasant memories. He tries to dismiss it when questioned by Lance. The other Callum leaves to buy ice cream before they search for Rob.

The other Callum takes a long time getting the ice cream causing Lance to become concerned and search for his friend.

Captain Callum finds Lance unconscious, and together they realize that the magical stones have gone missing, and the other Callum has been abducted. Captain Callum speculates that the kidnapper has also taken Rob, which is why he couldn't locate him initially.

The two engage in a heated argument regarding the idea of joining forces to find their missing friends. Captain Callum, known for being a lone wolf, adamantly refuses to work as a team.

In a moment of anger, Captain Callum loses his composure and confides in Lance about the tragic death of JJ caused by a magical stone. He believes this is the reason behind his reluctance to form alliances. Lance apologizes for any misunderstandings.

Despite their differences, both Captain Callum and Lance decide to collaborate in their search for the menacing kidnapper. They stumble upon a trail of blood that leads them to the dropped sword of the other Callum, left during the kidnapping. Following the blood trail, they eventually discover the kidnapper's hidden lair.

Upon entering the hideout, Captain Callum and Lance find Rob lying unconscious. Rob informs them that the kidnapper tampered with the stones, resulting in the disappearance of the other Callum.

Their reunion is short-lived when they encounter the returning kidnapper. Realizing they have been spotted, the menacing figure attempts to escape.

Captain Callum inquires if Rob and Lance are prepared to apprehend the kidnapper, and they both agree. Experiencing a change of heart, Captain Callum addresses them as his team, and they collectively shout, "Team Captain Callum!" in unison as they commence their pursuit of the Menacer.

To increase their chances, the team splits up to intercept the kidnapper. While Lance and Rob search for him, Captain Callum finds himself ambushed and engages in a fierce fight with the Menacer.

During the intense battle, Captain Callum utilizes nearby objects to inflict harm upon the Menacer. He also stumbles upon a black baseball bat lying on the ground, which he employs to strike his adversary.

After a grueling struggle, it appears that Captain Callum emerges victorious. However, just as he prepares to deliver a final blow with the bat, the Menacer reveals a magical stone bracelet and the bat collides with it. The impact causes an explosion of brilliant white light, which Lance and Rob hear from a distance.

Rushing to the source of the sound, they discover that Captain Callum has defeated the Menacer, who dissolves into nothingness due to the stone's effects. The other Callum returns, embracing Lance, while Rob wonders about the whereabouts of Captain Callum.

Turning around, Rob spots Captain Callum unconscious, leaning against a nearby pole. He hurries over as fast as he can, but Captain Callum vanishes into nothingness before he can reach him. Rob mourns the apparent loss of Captain Callum.

Following this event, Captain Callum finds himself contemplating his life in the Afterlife. A flashback to 2017 portrays a regular-looking Callum, just hours before he discovered his hat and became Captain Callum. Depressed after being told he wasn't television material, he attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge. Miraculously, the fall doesn't kill him, and he wakes up washed ashore by a stream. According to his narration, the "old" him "died right there."

He proceeds to revisit all his memories from 2017 onward, realizing that fate is granting him another chance by revisiting these moments, suggesting that he isn't truly deceased yet.

In the Video Universe Dimension, the other Callum, Lance, and Rob sit together, reflecting on recent events. The group mourns Captain Callum's absence.

Lance mentions to Rob that despite everything, he still needs to find his way back home. Rob replies with a hesitant affirmation, "Y-yeah...I guess."

Unexpectedly, Captain Callum returns from the afterlife, eliciting overwhelming joy from Rob, who embraces him tightly. Lance and the other Callum also appear stunned by his reappearance. Rifle Rob returns the baseball bat to Captain Callum.

Expressing gratitude to Lance and Callum for their assistance, Captain Callum requests that Lance send both him and Rifle Rob back to their own dimension.

Back in their dimension, the two characters experience relief at being back home. They embark on their separate ways, walking together after an eventful day.

Post-credits, an additional flashback features Captain Callum the day before the first episode, "Survival 101." He talks to himself about how he plans to open the episode, settling on pretending to wake up on the riverbank and walking towards the camera, inspired by recent events.

Captain Callum tests various fake accents and introductions, eventually choosing a "fake Australian accent" and exclaiming the words, "G'day, I'm Captain Callum!" for the first time.

The flashback concludes, returning to the present-day Captain Callum, who wakes up from sleep in the middle of the forest and takes a stroll. He finds himself at the same riverbank that inspired his show's beginning and decides to create a Season 2 of his show.

In Captain Callum Adventures Season 2, the character's growth since the first season and movie is evident, but he must also confront the consequences of his past mistakes.

In one episode, Captain Callum's past catches up with him as the supposedly deceased Bear reemerges to assassinate him. Reluctantly, Captain Callum acknowledges his past errors and strives to make amends.

In the episode "Hate, Captain Callum & Other Delusions," he grapples with controlling his sudden violent urges towards animals. Realizing the need to overcome his animosity toward wildlife, he endeavours to change his ways. Rifle Rob, perplexed by Captain Callum's desire for change, highlights the significant contrast in their moral values.

Simultaneously, in the same episode, Rifle Rob announces his departure from the show, explaining that the kidnapping incident in the movie has made it challenging for him to cope. He decides to relocate to a new hunting location.

Subsequently, Bear becomes a recurring character, developing a love-hate relationship with Captain Callum. While they are not friends, they find themselves constantly crossing paths.

In the two-part episode "Do Bears Shit In The Woods, Captain Callum?" Captain Callum's relentless provocation eventually leads to him getting hit in the face with Bear's gun, knocking him unconscious. Bear tries to flee the scene but accidentally knocks himself out as well by running into a tree branch.

Upon regaining consciousness, Captain Callum and Bear both suffer from amnesia and mistakenly conclude that they are best friends. Determined to recover their memories, they embark on a quest to find clues.

In Part 2, "Do Bears Shit In The Woods, Captain Callum?" the two characters remain clueless about their identities even after two weeks have passed. Captain Callum has grown a goatee during this time.

Their newfound friendship quickly deteriorates when Captain Callum regains his memory and immediately reverts to his hostile behaviour towards Bear. In order to jog Bear's memory, Captain Callum resorts to slapping him repeatedly until he remembers who he is.
