Wilma and Betty were investigative reporters similar to Lois Lane. Cavey’s coworkers included Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble. He also possessed a secret identity of “Chester,” a copy boy for the “Daily Granite,” a Bedrock newspaper. Cavey fought crime against various villains.
#Captain caveman series
This series was a loose parody of Superman. Given Cavey’s club’s Flintstone-style devices, it could be assumed Cavey’s tribe’s valley was just some distance from Bedrock. However, it showed his parents as living in an isolated valley where his father was the chief of Cavey’s tribe of also-hair-covered cavemen. A “Teen Angels” episode previously featured a time-travel trip back to Cavey’s time. Here, Cavey starred in his own segment as Bedrock’s resident superhero, retconning him into the Flintstones’ setting. The first of these was “The Flintstone Comedy Show,” which ran on NBC from 1980-1982. However, Captain Caveman stuck around through the 80s in several Flintstones spinoffs. After both shows ran their course, the Teen Angels fell from use, with few appearances since.
The Flintstone Comedy ShowĬavey and the Angels also made appearances simultaneously in “Laff-a-Lympics” (as contestants on Scooby-Doo’s team). Cavey himself always spoke with a Tarzan-style voice. Unfortunately for Cavey (but fortunately for the writers), his flight and strength powers often would give out at inopportune times. He also had in his club various Flintstone-style Stone Age devices (such as a firefly-powered x-ray, a bird-powered “flashlight”/drill/etc., and so forth).
#Captain caveman plus
Cavey’s powersĬaptain Caveman’s powers consisted of the ability to fly (with the use of his club), plus superhuman strength and the ability to pull various objects, prehistoric creatures, etc. In this show’s case, the leader was usually Dee Dee or Taffy. It also might be the rare animated series from before the 80s or 90s that featured a female leader of a group. While Captain Caveman was the one who usually captured the villain at the episode’s end, it was the Angels who actually solved the mysteries in question. Setting this show apart from the other Scooby clones (and cartoons of its era in general) might be that it’s of the few older cartoon series with female protagonists, Cavey receiving top billing aside. Similar to “Scooby-Doo,” the group solve a mystery in each episode. Cavey stayed in a miniature cave on top of the Angels’ van.
He’s a caveman from prehistoric times thawed from a block of ice found by the Teen Angels. In this case, the “world’s first superhero,” Captain Caveman (voiced by Mel Blanc).
