Captain Magenta

Captain Magenta (real name Patrick Donaghue) is one of the characters in the 1960s Supermarionation television series "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons". He is a senior officer of the Spectrum organisation, but seldom leaves Cloudbase.

Contrary to the other Spectrum agents, Captain Magenta does not have a military background, but indeed, a criminal background.

He is a very eager character, with a notable catch-phrase: "Yes, Sir! Colonel White, Sir!"

Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet

The Captain Magenta in the CGI series, "Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet", is not the same character as the original Magenta. He is rarely seen in the series and very little information has been supplied about the character. His name is Mario Moro, and his personality is far different from Patrick Donaghue. This Magenta is cast as a womanizer, however having little success with women – including the female Captain Ochre! In another ironic twist, the new Magenta has been given an Italian nationality, but it is unknown if, like the original Patrick Donaghue, he has been also given an ‘underworld’ background, however stereotyped this would appear.
