"Power on." Actor Timothy Dunigan, outfitted in his character's full regalia (one of the "Power Suits" of exoskeletal armor that
Robert Short Productions artificed for the cast), turned to the camera and delivered this line.
With the new opportunities offered by the human-machine combination, Taggart becomes obsessed with the precision and
"perfection" of machines and convinces himself that merging human consciousness with mechanical bodies is the next step in human
evolution. OverMind achieves self-awareness and shares Taggart's beliefs as they take over Bio-Mech armies throughout the world
and attack humanity in a conflict known as the Metal W
ars.
World governments turn to Dr. Power for find a way to stop Taggart. He develops the "Power Suits", a combination of exoskeletal
body armor and advanced weapons and prepares a number of prototypes for testing. However, Power apparently dies trying to rescue
his son Jonathan from Taggart, though Jonathan is convinced that his father is still alive somewhere. Taggart himself is severely
wounded, and OverMind saves him by implanting cybernetic mechanisms into his body
, eventually calling himself Lord Dread.
By 2147, fifteen years after the Metal Wars broke out, humanity had been largely annihilated by Lord Dread's forces, and those who
survive live miserable existences in hiding lest they be discovered by Bio-Mechs and "digitized" as virtual beings within OverMind.
Advanced Bio-Mechs called Bio-Dreads and humans loyal to Dread carry out the extermination, as Dread rules from his headquarters
in Volcania, somewhere in North America. In episode 8 "and study war no more", the location of Volcania is announced as being in
"sector 9 by 6". The computer map shows it's location near the great lakes region of North America.
Despite the dire situation, a number of human forces band together and fight the Bio-Dread Empire. One of the leading human
resistance groups, Jonathan Power's "Power Team", uses his father's Power Suits to mount attacks on Bio-Dread forces. They stage
out of the "Power Base", an abandoned NORAD installation in the Rocky Mountains, and are guided by a supercomputer
programmed with Mentor, an artificial intelligence designed by Dr. Power in his own image and voice to guide his son and the group.
It is later revealed that there are human resistance groups in other locations.
J. Michael Straczynskiwas the writer of the last episode of the series. He commented about Pilot's death, revealing that the scene was
[5]
inspired by an especially tragic event in his own past.
"I've never talked about this before—said I was in a thoughtful mood—but I've known several people, friends, who've
taken their own lives. In one case, I spoke to her just beforehand. Tried, through the phone lines, to reach her one
more time, pull her back from the edge. I couldn't. Years pass. Time comes for me to write the last filmed episode of
Power."'
He added:
"Jennifer Chase is going to die, partly of her injuries, partly of her own volition. Part of my life went into that scene,
in the way it was constructed, and what was said. And what was not said, what never had the chance to be said, and
thus still burns. I knew that, at the crucial moment of that scene, he couldn't be near her
, as I wasn't near my friend...it
had to be long-distance, hearing but not seeing her, and the terrible pain of arriving too late. I cannot watch that
episode without crying. Ever."
The plot also covered the team's quest to find "Eden II", a supposed secret human refuge mentioned in the first season, while setting
up a base of operations on a facility that was the prototype of the Power Base. Lord Dread would have gained a new mechanical
form, as actor David Hemblen was not required back let alone, perhaps, for voice work. His new army would have consisted of
"Hunter-Seeker" troops and a new Warlord-class Bio-Dread called Xenon. Dread would also have gained a new assistant called
Morgana II, a machine with the mind of his former lover – who would have proven to be Jonathan Power's mother
.
OverMind would have taken a larger role in the war and revealed a hidden agenda: after digitizing all the remaining human beings, it
would erase them from existence. Wanting to keep this secret from Dread, the plot would have seen the AI give Soaron secret
programming to assassinate Lord Dread in case he suspected anything.
In the recent DVD release, series head writer J. Michael Straczynski reveals that the planned end for the series was Lord Dread
learning of OverMind's hidden agenda, and as a result, teaming up with Captain Power to free all of humanity from OverMind.
Adult storyline
A great majority of the show's story line was filled with romance and intrigue, which was made for the adults who watched the show
with their children. Thus, the story was filled with romantic kisses, sexual innuendo, and occasionally scenes which implied sexual
encounters between characters. Mild profanity was also present; "damn" was said on at least one occasion, and Pilot told Blastaar to
"go to hell" in response to his order to surrender. In addition, the violent death of one of the major ongoing characters in the series
(detailed above) was also an unusual development for a children's series. The inclusion of a "Bio-Dread Youth", which recruited
young survivors to Lord Dread's ideals to further advance his agenda, also paralleled the
National Socialist and Communist regimes.
But for all those noble sentiments, Captain Power, to the public at large, is perceived as just another excuse to sell
toys. It is a notion that rubs story editor Larry DiT
illio the wrong way.
"We're not writing stories with the idea of turning each episode of Captain Power into a video game," declares
DiTillio. But DiTillio, a first season staff writer who became story editor when J. Michael Straczynski (Starlog #111)
left the position for a similar post with the revived Twilight Zone, claimed that ramrodding the script side of Captain
Power hasn't been easy.
"This show has definitely not made my life easier," chuckles DiTillio. "This is not just another kid's cartoon show. The
writing is always to an adult level. There is the interactivity which has been centered mainly in the battle sequences
but we aren't in a position of having to write X amount of animation and interactivity into each episode. I want to
make it very clear that around here, we're working for the story."
There is a tone of desperation in DiTillio's voice as he defends the writing integrity of Captain Power. It's a
desperation resulting from dealing with cliché story submissions that have come streaming in amid the confusion
about how childlike or adult Captain Power is. "People are coming in with the same old stories," DiTillio laments.
"I'm getting Star Trek, Star Wars and Terminator. If I wanted another Terminator, I would call James Cameron."[8]
In a subsequent Starlog article a year after the cancellation, DiTillio cited many reasons for Mattel cutting off the show's funds,
resulting in the show's cancellation: "Mattel's tie-in toys didn't sell up to expectations, parents group charges that the show was too
violent, and having to shell outScreen Actors Guild and Writers Guild residual payments because Captain Power was live-action."[9]
J. Michael Straczynski commented about the show's cancellation and the planned second season.
Re: Captain Power "...Yeah, that's a show that is an example of what to strive for, and how sometimes good intentions
can get derailed. We genuinely wanted to come up with a long-term story, and by and large, we succeeded. The
problem was the marketing in front of the show, and the merchandising behind the show...we got killed from both
sides."
"There's an entire second season of unproduced CP scripts, story edited by Larry DiTillio, in which he follows up on
the arc that I and others established during the first season. You would have found out what Dread became, what
happened to Power's mother, where Eden was (and there would be direct contact), what the secret was in Soaron's
programming, and so on."[10]
In 1987, Captain Power was one of the targets of anti-toy related children's television advocates who claimed that the series focused
[11]
on selling children expensive toys for full participation.
The first interactive toy and game for the series was a toy XT-7 jet with a video cassette. There were three tapes: "Future Force
Training", "Bio-Dread Strike Mission", and "Raid On Volcania". The tapes featured live introduction and end segments with the cast
of the television show. The actual mission itself was animated and took place in the jet cockpit from the first-person point of view of
the pilot/player. Players would hold the toy jet and face the screen. The toy was actually a sort of light gun that responded to signals
from the television playing the tape. The toy jet would get points by firing at appropriate targets on the screen and lose points when
the sensor on the jet got "hit". Upon reaching zero points, the cockpit would eject automatically. Since the "game" was only a VHS
tape, the missions always played out the same way. The toy could also interact with the live action television broadcast in the same
manner. Other interactive objects in this series were the "Phantom Stryker" Bio-Dread ship, the "Interlocker Throne" for Lord Dread,
which consisted of a stationary tank on a tripod and an optional target viewer that could be taken on and off, and the "Power On"
platform, which the user could plug the Captain Power figure into. Whenever the transformation was triggered on screen or the base
was fired at by one of the other vehicles, the toy would immediately trigger the "Power On" sequence causing the chest of the figure
to glow.
The toys also had the ability to interact with each other, similar to the Laser Tag toys popular at the time. When played in this way,
each toy had a limited number of hit points, but any points earned by playing against the television show increased this total.
In 1988, a second and slightly more scarce series was released. The release of the Dread Trooper and Dread Commander is uncertain.
Pictures of these figures were shown in the Mattel dealer catalog.

Power and his team are on the run after the Power Base is destroyed by Pilot. They take refuge in the Passages to
lick their wounds, but Power is consumed by his desire for revenge on Locke, the man responsible for the death of

Power attempts to find and activate a new Power Base, which had been created by his father somewhere within the
Arctic Circle. But first they raid a Dread installation for supplies and fuel. Their mission is cut short when the JumpShip
is severely damaged and crash lands in a densely forested area in northern Canada. [13]
Crashing in the Great Northern Forest, Power and his men are attacked by a phalanx of troopers and then captured
by an armed group carrying high tech bows and arrows who call themselves "The Archers". Angry that the
JumpShip's crash has destroyed a large amount of prime forest and fearful that the crash will draw Dread's forces into
[14]
their land in greater numbers, the Archers threaten to kill Power and his team.
While Power and the team are gaining the trust of the Archers, Dread seeks an alliance the "Baron", a tyrant who
attempts to rule the forest people through his use of force. Learning of the unholy alliance, the Power team and the
Archers mount a joint recon mission. But the Captain finds himself in great personal danger when his Power Suit runs
out of juice as the "clickers" attack.[15]
The Hunter-Seekers begin igniting a plasma storm as ordered while the Power team watches in horror from a
distance. Dread vows to destroy the entire forest unless Power surrenders to him. Ignoring the Captain's orders, Hawk
attempts to stop the BioDreads from spreading the holocaust, but when his suit's power begins to fail, he is shot out of
[17]
the sky and falls into the middle of the raging plasma storm.
After finding parts to repair the JumpShip in a raid of the Baron's warehouse, Hawk and Scout struggle to repair the
ship while Tank, Chris and the Archers attempt to capture the Baron's laser cannon. Only the cannon has suf
ficient
power to hold off the growing plasma storm. But Dread has too many forces protecting the cannon, so Captain Power
[18]
draws attention away from it by challenging Dread to a fight to the death.

While attempting to gather more data on Project Rebirth, Captain Power , Tank and Ranger are marooned on a tropical
island where the evil Dr Severius is carrying out horrific experiments for Lord Dread, experiments which have created
a race of mutants with strange powers. While Jonathan strives to persuade the mutants to ally with the humans
struggling for freedom, Hawk, Scout and TNT must hold out against Dread and his forces all by themselves. The sub-
