This is a semi toughie 100% of us oldies will get it, 50% of the sprogs


An Englishman, born in the 60's in the midlands. Very brave, he was recruited as a spy

Captain Scarlet

Scarlet, as the main protagonist, is one of the most developed characters in the series. His real name is Paul Metcalfe. He has black hair and blue eyes, speaks with an English accent and is said to be from Winchester in Hampshire, England. He is born on 17 December 2036.

Background
Born in Winchester, England, his mother was Ann Brightman, an English astrophysicist, his father, Tom Metcalfe, an American pilot who later joined the International Space Agency. As a boy of ten, Paul watched his father take humankinds first steps on Mars and vowed to follow in his historic footsteps. He studied astrophysics at MIT before joining the US Air Force. But the outbreak of global terrorist wars, which saw the death of both his parents, changed his focus.

So, no born in the Midlands, or the 1960's and only half-English.
