Disambiguation: unspecified, Ideal Toy Company

First published in: 1967

Notes:

Captain Action originated as an action figure/doll released by Ideal Toy Company in 1966; costumes and facial masks were available for purchase which enabled the owner to transform him into other heroes. He first appeared in a comic book in Captain Action & Action Boy (DC, 1967 series) #CL2065 (1967), which was a mini-comic giveaway. His secret identity of Clive Arno and his origin were established in Captain Action (DC, 1968 series) #1 (October-November 1968). He was later rebooted as Miles Drake and was given a new origin in Captain Action Comics (Moonstone, 2008 series) #0 ([April] 2008). He was again rebooted as Operative 1001 and was given a new origin in Codename: Action (Dynamite Entertainment, 2013 series) #1 ([September] 2013); Operative 1001 became Captain Action in issue #5 ([February] 2014).
