- This article is about Captain Caveman from the animated film SCOOB! For the original incarnation, look here.
Captain Caveman is a superhuman caveperson and personal protector of the third skull of Cerberus.
Physical appearance[]
He is a short humanoid with overgrown, overflowing and highly unkept dreadlocked hair down to his kneecaps, except for his lower arms and legs. He carries a large wooden club painted in tribal markings as his go-to weapon of choice. Inside the club resides a miniature dinosaur with a mallet-shaped head.
Personality[]
He is cheerfully condescending, as seen when he instantly assumes Scooby-Doo and the Blue Falcon have tiny brains and could not understand him. He is also prone to violence, attacking and fighting Scooby and Blue Falcon, and wiping the floor with them. However, he is quite devoted to his duty of protecting Cerberus' skull, as he has protected it for countless years and refuses to give up, even when Blue Falcon told him it could easily get stolen.
History[]
Early life[]
Coming from unknown beginnings in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Captain Cavemen was destined to use his superheroic abilities to protect the third and final skull (which he dubs Slaghoople) of the legendary three-headed demon dog, Cerberus, on Mystery island underneath Messick Mountain, and had been doing so for countless years.
SCOOB![]
One day, he encountered mystery-solving dog Scooby-Doo and the superhero Blue Falcon, who had arrived on the island where the skull was located, to retrieve the skull of Cerberus. He eventually brought them to the skull, revealing that the only way he could give it to them was if they defeated him in combat. He easily defeated the two, forcing Blue Falcon's cohorts, Dee Dee Skyes and Dynomutt, to intervene and take down the caveman themselves.
He was eventually recruited by Blue Falcon into the Falcon Force together with Atom Ant, Jabberjaw and Grape Ape.
Appearances[]
- SCOOB!
- Space Jam: A New Legacy (cameo)
Notes/Trivia[]
- Unlike his original counterpart, he does not have his usual speech impediment nor any of his catchphrases.
- Captain Caveman bears a strong resemblance to Sir William Wallace (played by Mel Gibson) from the 1995 film Braveheart. The scene where Captain Caveman jumps in the air and shouts his name (“Captain Cavemaaan!”), as he attacks Blue Falcon, even sounds like the scene in Braveheart where Sir William Wallace shouts "Freedooom!"
