identity: Nelson Gardner

powers / abili
ties
Captain Metropolis had been in the army before beginning his career as a costumed hero. His military training served him well both strategically and physically.

character bio
It was Captain Metropolis who first conceived of the Minutemen as well as, later, the Crimebusters. He contacted Sally Jupiter first, as the original Silk Spectre was the only hero with a known contact address, let alone a publicist.

Captain Metropolis is one of the more right-wing costumed heroes, as evidenced by the inclusion of "campus protests" and "black unrest" in his breakdown of societal ills.
associations
He and Hooded Justice were in a secret romantic relationship during their time in the Minutemen. His inclusion of the Comedian in the starting lineup for the Crimebusters is an interesting choice, after the Comedian was ejected from the Minutemen. As Hooded Justice was the only witness to the Comedian's assault on Sally Jupiter, and Hooded Justice's ability to sympathize with Sally was limited (his words to her after the event were terse), it is likely the perspective on the event that filtered down to Captain Metropolis was more forgiving of the Comedian than Hollis Mason's.
