Captain Indigo

Captain Indigo (real name unspecified, designated Andrew Laurence in an issue of New Thunderbirds Comic, although not necessarily canonical) is a characters in the 1960s Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Like Captain Brown, he appears in only one episode — "Spectrum Strikes Back" — in which he is killed. Captain Black murders the officer, who works in a hunting lodge, and he is reconstructed as a Mysteron agent. When this is revealed by a Mysteron Detector, the reconstruction sabotages the conference by locking the lodge in its descent setting. He then escapes in a car with the key to the control mechanism, leaving the delegates to be crushed by the building above.

Captain Indigo is not presented in a Spectrum uniform - instead, he is dressed as a barman. It is plausible that the production could not afford the cost of a new Spectrum uniform. His shirt, however, is indigo. Actor Gary Files provided the voice of Indigo.

Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet

In the 2005 remake series, Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, Indigo is re-imagined as John Roach - who appears three times throughout the series, although never in a speaking part. He is black, with black hair, a beard and brown eyes.
