His name has popped up in a couple recent posts, so now he deserves a post of his own. Captain Mutiny! Okay so let's get into this. First big point the title of this season is Lost Galaxy. The title was written to sound dramatic. However there is in fact a Lost Galaxy that was hidden in outer Space that Terrra Venture entered. They did not enter it until very late into the series. Once they did, this is where Captain Mutiny shows up. He took a very different approach than many past villains. Captain Mutiny like many pirate characters has an addiction to treasure and employed human slaves to dig treasure up for him. So he needed his victims alive. He tried negotiation, trickery, Dream traps, and property destruction. He had his own foot soldier army known as Swabbies. The Swabbies fight with single pirate swords. He had several evil cohorts, including Barbarax, Hexuba, Deviot, and Titaniasaur. Titaniasaur also carries Mutiny's castle on his back. However the ultimate goal for Captain Mutiny was to capture his victims alive otherwise he would have no slaves. This story arc lasted seven episodes.
One of Captain Mutiny's hands was a hook that changed into a cannon. He's not very popular because of how short his story arc was but I liked him a lot. As Mike Corbet stepped up to go on a dangerous mission and helped save the slaves, we got some great character development for him and the anxiety at this time in the series was high and I believe we owe that in part to Captain Mutiny. He also appeared in one of Magna Defender's flashbacks in the episode "Sunflower Search". He has clearly been around a long time. Captain Mutiny added energy and anxiety to the latter part of PRLG and for that I respect him. Captain Mutiny is voiced by Mike Reynolds. Barbarax is voiced by Richard Ecpcar. Hexuba is voiced by Raija Baroudi (Delphine from Alien Rangers). When traveling through outer space watch out for hidden Galaxies and Crazy characters like Captain Mutiny!
