[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 8533094, member: 63"] He successfully investigated an interplanetary conspiracy that could have wiped out all life on earth. He bluffed his way through a blockade, managing to save dozens of people who otherwise would have suffocated and died on a dying base. He rescued the UN Ambassador and captured a man who was perhaps the chief motivation for a war between Mars and Earth. He deescalated a crisis at the ring gate and prevented the whole solar system from being annihilated. He then again successfully investigated alien ruins and brought back evidence of an existential threat to all civilized life in the galaxy. And he led the crew that defanged the Free Navy's asteroid attacks, then outwitted the defenses of a seemingly impregnable fortress within the ring gate, and [I]then[/I] used his superior positioning to defeat Marco Inaros and most of the Free Navy fleet. He maybe gets lucky by stumbling upon situations where he can make a difference, but then he chooses the right response to save a bunch of lives. And that response, most of the time, is to not try to win by killing people, but by exposing villains and understanding complex threats so we aren't vulnerable to them. I think he's my favorite space captain in all media. [/QUOTE]
