Captain Ray Cathode

Captain Ray Cathode

You are fighting Captain Ray Cathode.

Rumor is Ray was abandoned in the wilderness as a child and raised by a pack of feral televisions, and now he wants to bring TV to the rest of humanity. That's absurd, of course. He's just a latchkey kid left at home to be raised by a single stationary television, which is plenty bad enough. He won't rest until everyone else's brain has been numbed as much as his own.
