* Childhood

**Captain Disillusion** (also known as **CD** or just **the Captain**) is the titular protagonist of the web series with over 100 episodes, played by his creator, Alan Melikdjanian. **The Captain** is a galactic superhero fighting against hoaxes and elaborate fakes in the style of a kids TV show, though with occasional adult humor. The series is aimed at 90s kids, who might get a nostalgic feel from the way the episodes are being presented.

## Origins

It is currently unknown how **the Captain** came to be. Holly, his occasional love interest, claims that she created him.

## Personality

**The Captain** is presented as an arrogant superhero solving hilarious situations and exposing hoaxes. Holly from the B Universe claims that he has a personality disorder which prevents him from showing genuine love or affection which may be the cause of his arrogance or usual disdain for the main Holly.

## Appearance

**The Captain** wears a tracksuit consisting of a yellow jacket, black T-shirt, gray sweatpants and dark shoes. His skin is silver chrome with dark hair, and the upper half of his face except for his ears is disguised with a mask/make-up to seem to be human flesh. The chrome and flesh halves are separated by a black line which appears to be melting.

Alan Melikdjanian revealed that the signature appearance was mostly made from random things lying around. He originally wanted to paint his entire face chrome, but it took too much effort so he settled for only painting the bottom half. It turned out to be sloppy, so he had to cover it up with a black line which was "melting". This look is often interpreted by fans as reality and fiction melting together.

## Relationships

### Holly

Holly is **CD's** love interest. **CD** seems to have disdain for her, which might be caused by his alleged personality disorder. Holly has a child, Junior, who may be **the Captain's** son. Their relationship may have been fixed, as suggested in her most recent appearance.

### Junior

Junior is Holly's son. His appearance resembles that of **the Captain**, so it may be assumed that he is his biological father. **CD** tries to use him as a marketing strategy inspired by the AMK franchise, but after realizing that the more effort you put into something the less appreciated it is, he deletes Junior out of existence. It seems that Junior is a digital being so this wasn't a fatal incident. **The Captain** shows complete disregard and lack of affection toward Junior.

### Mr. Flare

Whenever **CD** is busy, it seems he can rely on Mr. Flare. Mr. Flare and **the Captain** have a mixed relationship, being colleagues rather than actual friends. Mr. Flare is eventually killed by **CD** when the latter trips over him. **CD** then transports Mr. Flare into a digital setting, keeping him somewhat alive.

### Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist impersonated **the Captain** and imprisoned him in a claustrophobic cell behind a wall. Zeitgeist seems to be the exact opposite of **CD**, spreading paranoia and fear to fuel uncertainty in people. **CD** shows anger at Zeitgeist's manipulation, and is willing to fight him for the good of his fans and the world. Zeitgeist, claiming to have a headache, turns to dust and disappears.

### Alan the Assistant

Alan is an unpaid intern hired by **the Captain** to work at Disillusion Industries. Alan is often put under pressure by **the Captain** and has an unhealthy relationship, lacking praise and approval for his hard work. He does most of **CD's** work for him. He has appeared in public to represent **CD** before audiences.

### Dr. Disenchantment

Dr. Disenchantment is a rival of **the Captain**. He provided help for **CD** during one of his videos, but then created a debunk video in a similar style to **CD**. **The Captain** was unappreciative of this, and called the Doctor out. They are yet to officially meet each other.

### Zaphroid

Zaphroid is the pet alien of **the Captain**, who helped him perform one of his gags. Eventually, Zaphroid turned on **the Captain** and attacked him. He was probably disposed of later, off-screen.

### Beakman

Beakman is a TV show host who is a personal idol to **the Captain**. They did a brief collaboration together along with Ellie the Mailwoman.
