Captain Responsibility (The Superhero)

Yes, it’s Captain Responsibility! Whenever something bad happens, and nobody wants to take responsibility for it, Captain Responsibility shows up to save the day! Was there some kid who didn’t do their chores, and as a result, raccoons threw trash all over the street? Captain Responsibility will take responsibility for it! Was there a snafu in public relations somewhere? Captain Responsibility will take responsibility! Was there corruption or ineptitude in government? Captain Responsibility will take the blame! Was there some security breach that allowed a terrorist attack to occur that nobody wants to claim responsibility for? Captain Responsibility will claim responsibility! And if there’s a conspiracy in big business to defraud the public, but it gets found out, and the cops can’t figure out who’s responsible, Captain Responsibility will take responsibility! And what about if a horrible crime has been committed, and the authorities have the wrong person: Captain Responsibility will take the blame!

Yes, it’s Captain Responsibility! Finally there’s a superhero to protect and defend the innocent and guilty alike! And finally, a superhero that’s just as heroic to kids and adults! Whenever anyone screws up, whether they’re guilty or innocent of malfeasance, Captain Responsibility will save the day!

(Hey government, Wall Street banks, Mafiosi, general screw-ups, etc.: you really might want to bankroll a comic book and movie series for this superhero. Not for me, but for you.)

(He’s going to be very busy, you know. He’ll be way more in demand even than Superman these days!)
