BACKGROUND DETAILS:

A former military police officer, Captain Magenta is one of the colour Captains forming the team of Spectrum field agents.

The few times the characters is seen in the TV series, he demonstrates an annoying habit of chasing after anything wearing a skirt. He seems to consider himself a woman's man, but he doesn't seem to have much success with the female staff of Skybase - at least the female officers - who don't seem to take him very seriously.

As seen in the episode 'Virus', he likes to keep himself in top physical shape.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND INTERESTING FACTS:

The Captain Magenta character is a totally different character from the original character in 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'.

Magenta's real name of Mario Moro and the accent in which he speaks suggest that he is Italian American. This might have been seen as some kind of a nod to the original Captain Magenta, if the CGI character had been made as a former gangster (just as the original Magenta), but possibly with the concern not to stereotype the character more than he was (with his habits of chasing women), the designers of the series gave the new Magenta a drastically different background, by making him a former military police officer.

Although a very interesting character, Captain Magenta unfortunately wasn't much used in the new series.

His voice was provided by Jeremy Hitchen. Hitchen already was associated in the past with Gerry Anderson productions, when he performed Dr. Tiger Ninestein and multiple other voices in the 'Terrahawks' TV series.
