Do we like Captain Falcon?

A character from F-Zero (1990)

Our score: 8 out of 10. Yes, we'd back him. He's brave, fast and sure of himself, he fights crime, and he's famous for a punch that might be a little too showy.

Captain Falcon first appeared in the 1990 Super Nintendo racing game F-Zero. He is a bounty hunter from Port Town, and the story doesn't say much about his past. He races hover machines at extreme speed in the F-Zero Grand Prix, and he flies the Blue Falcon.

F-Zero is a racing series, so there's little plot. Falcon is defined by what he does and how he carries himself. He is confident, quick and loyal to doing the right thing, and he keeps a deliberately mysterious identity. In the F-Zero GP Legend anime he appears as a hero who hunts criminals.

He scores well because he is competent and brave, and he uses his speed to fight crime. He loses a couple of points because he's a lone wolf with a big ego who is hard to know. He is also very well known for "Falcon Punch" and shouting about it.
