It challenges the players’ preconceived notions of a superhero by showing a protagonist who is unlike almost any mainstream hero. Further, this choice of protagonist also sends a message to the audience, that anyone can be a superhero. However, the world of Captain Geriatric is also far more idealistic than the real one, as petty theft and muggings are considered giant crimewaves, and killer clowns roam the land, except they don’t kill anyone. This sense of idealism makes Captain Geriatric a welcome addition to the landscape of superhero fiction that, in recent years, has grown more cynical and dark.
