Capcom: Difference between revisions

Capcom's original [[mascot]], [[Captain Commando (character)|Captain Commando]], is a [[superhero]] who wears a futuristic armor of unknown origin. His name forms the word Capcom when the first syllables of both words are combined as a [[portmanteau]], a method of abbreviation popular in Japan. He originally appeared in the early Capcom [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]]/NES game ''[[Section Z]]'' (the arcade version of ''Section Z'' has similar [[gameplay]], but it is not clear that the hero is the same person). Along with that, he appeared in the manuals and the back covers of Capcom's early NES games to thank players for purchasing them. He also appeared in the self named [[beat 'em up]] game, ''[[Captain Commando]]'', in 1991. He later appeared in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom series|Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' and [[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]], in which he is often considered to be an excessively powerful character. In ''Marvel vs. Capcom'', he still serves as a mascot, regularly shouting "Capcom!" during fights and relaying Capcom-themed messages after winning. He displays the ability to quickly change from regular clothing, including a cowboy hat, into his armor, suggesting a [[secret identity]]. Captain Commando's storyline is not connected to that of ''[[Commando (game)|Commando]]'' and ''[[Bionic Commando]]'', despite the similar name.
