Description: Captain Metropolis was thin and asthmatic as a child, but worked out extensively to counteract this. In college he played football and went on the join the Marines. He gained the rank of Lieutenant, and used his military knowledge and training to fight crime. Captain Metropolis founded the Minutemen, and tried to found a new hero group (the Crimebusters) in 1966 to counter a number of perceived threats (like "black unrest" and "antiwar demonstrations").
A closet homosexual, Captain Metropolis had a long-running affair with Hooded Justice. His exact motivations for crime-fighting are unknown, the "Annotated Watchmen" states his motivation is fighting "social ills," although one has to wonder at his choices (see paragraph above). It is Captain Metropolis's abortive attempt to form a new hero team (and his comments that someone needs to do something) that spur Ozymandias to formulate his plans. Captain Metropolis was killed in 1974 in a car crash.
Note: Captain Metropolis usually carries several pairs of handcuffs for restraining criminals.
