Captain Black is the fictional nemesis of Captain Scarlet and the primary, recurring Mysteron agent in the 1960s British Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and its 2005 animated remake, New Captain Scarlet.
"Black" is a codename; in the original series, the character's real name is never revealed (although in tie-ins he is named as Conrad Turner),[3] while in the remake the character's tombstone indicates that his real name is Conrad Lefkon.[4] The character's transformation from human to Mysteron agent occurs on Mars in the first episode of each series ("The Mysterons" and "Instrument of Destruction, Part 1").[5]
