Captain Indigo (Real name Andrew Laurence) was a character from the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons episode Spectrum Strikes Back.
He was a Spectrum agent who was disguised as a waiter during a Spectrum Intelligence conference. Hoping to infiltrate the conference, the Mysterons used Captain Black to assassinate him. Indigo was then reconstructed into a Mysteron Agent .
Indigo's cover was blown by General Peterson using the C38 Detector, a device that takes pictures distinguishing Earth people from Mysterons. Indigo set the master controls of the hunting lodge down, crushing the underground conference room. Captain Scarlet and the 2nd Warden gave chase, not only saving the delegates but providing a practical use of the Mysteron Gun, a weapon that shoots a barrage of high voltage electricity that is the Achilles Heel of every Mysteron reconstruction.
Captain Indigo was voiced by Gary Files.
