Captain Strong

Captain Strong is a fictional character in DC Comics, introduced in Action Comics #421 (1973) as a parody of Popeye. Created by writer Cary Bates, Strong gains superhuman strength by consuming "sauncha," a special seaweed with drug-like effects that enhance his power but cause addiction and erratic behavior. Initially using his abilities to help others, he becomes friends with Superman, unaware of his dual identity as Clark Kent. In The New 52 series, Strong reappears with Harley Quinn’s team, once again struggling with the seaweed’s effects.
