Capitão Brasil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Capitão Brasil is a comic series depicting the adventures of the character Capitão Brasil, published in Brazil. The character is a typical Brazilian 'malandro', a Brazilian term used to describe clever people. The Capitão lives in Rio de Janeiro, his stories typically occurring in a region close to Copacabana beach. Capitão Brasil is an obvious parody, and for some a critic, of Captain America.
