Captain Q
(Adam West)
Context
Captain Q appeared in 1965 TV commercials for powdered chocolate.
In itself, that’s nothing to write home about. But he was played by Adam West, who would soon become the idol of millions as the 1966+ TV version of Batman (Bruce Wayne).
Which retroactively makes Captain Q cool. In a camp way.
