SYNOPSIS

Captain Nice was created and written by Buck Henry, co-creator of Get Smart, and it was to superheroes what Get Smart was to secret agents - a parody. Carter Nash was a police department chemist who had accidentally discovered a liquid that, when drunk, would transform him into Captain Nice. Unfortunately, Captain Nice was no stronger a personality than Carter was normally - shy, quiet, unassuming, and mother-dominated. In fact, if it had not been for his mother, who demanded that her son wage war on the evil forces that constantly threatened society, he would not have gotten actively involved in fighting crime at all. The sight of Captain Nice trying to maintain his composure while flying over Bigtown (he had an acute fear of heights) in his baggy, moth-eaten, red-white-and-blue leotards (made for him by his mother) did not exactly terrify evildoers.
