Captain Future is a pulp science fiction hero – a space-traveling scientist and adventurer – originally published in the United States in his his namesake pulp magazine from 1940 to 1944. The character was created by editors Mort Weisinger and Leo Margulies. The majority of the stories were authored by Edmond Hamilton. A number of adaptations and derivative works followed.

A 1978–79 Japanese anime (キャプテン・フューチャー) was dubbed into several languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian and Arabic. His francophone name is Capitaine Futur,[1] although he is better known in francophone countries under the name Capitaine Flam.
