I had a friend who was obsessed with these guys. I was more of a Scarlet man myself. We fought for supremacy on the playground, and to this day I refuse to tell his parents where he's buried.

Yup, Captain Scarlet for me too. Thanks to the theme tune, I recall being obsessed by the word 'Indestructible' for some time. I had no clear idea what it meant, but used it heavily anyway.
