Curtis Newton, known as Captain Future, is an orphan. His parents perished in their artificial satellite when he was an infant. His father, a scientist, had abandoned Earth for the satellite to devote his life to science, accompanied by his aging friend, the genius Dr. Simon Wright. Sensing his own death approaching, Wright decided to implant his brain into a mechanical container. Together, they constructed a superior robot and an android. Captain Future dedicated his life to fighting evil alongside his three companions: the brain, the android, and the robot.
