Captain Falcon is a champion F-Zero racer and a bounty hunter. No one knows how many criminals Captain Falcon has captured, but it's a large amount. In between races and bounty hunting, Captain Falcon spends his time practicing on his private tracks on islands off of Port Town. His full name is Captain Douglas Jay Falcon. Captain Falcon's rivals include Samurai Goroh, Zoda, Michael Chain, Blood Falcon, Black Shadow, Deathborn, Dai Goroh, and Don Genie.

Background

Not much is known about Captain Falcon before his F-Zero career. The only known fact is that he's from Port Town. Rumors say that he used to be a captain of the Internova Police. When not racing he is an accomplished bounty hunter who has butted heads with multiple targets and few have escaped his grasp. With the amount of money he earned from his dual professions, he purchased his own chain of islands off the coast of Port Town. He uses the different islands to practice his racing skills.

Captain Falcon competed in the first F-Zero race in 2560. Competing against Pico, Dr. Stewart, and Samurai Goroh, Captain Falcon emerged victorious.

Captain Falcon continued racing in the F-Zero Grand Prix until the Horrific Grand Finale. During the Horrific Grand Finale, Captain Falcon was injured and hospitalized. Though he made a full recovery, some of his DNA was stolen. The DNA was used to create his clone, Blood Falcon.

Several years after the accident, F-Zero racing was reinstated with new rules. The new tournament was called F-Zero X. Captain Falcon has gone on to win the F-Zero X Grand Prix several times, while thwarting his various rivals. In the year 2571, he thwarted the plans of Black Shadow and Deathborn from rigging the Grand Prix by eliminating all the other skilled pilots.

In the anime-inspired games F-Zero: GP Legend and Climax, little is known about Captain Falcon beyond his popularity in the Grand Prix. His machine is so popular that it is virtually the symbol of the F-Zero races.

Other Roles

Captain Falcon is an unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros., one of the starting fighters in Super Smash Bros. Melee and again an unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Due to F-Zero being a racing series and thus Captain Falcon never used any fighting abilities in the games, the Smash Bros. teams invented his moveset from scracth. In Melee, one of his alternate costumes is Blood Falcon, and Captain Falcon himself has three unlockable trophies while the Falcon Flyer has its own trophy as well. The character Ganondorf is a clone of his move set.

Trivia
