Captain Broadband: Hero of the Internet. Pioneer of the Digital Wastes. Depraved lunatic that needs to be put on a child offender’s list. What a guy.

Accidentally based on ''ComicBook/TheTick'', ''Captain Broadband'' features the satirical misadventures of the insane titular character Captain Broadband and his quest to promote ‘the wonders of Broadband and Piracy'. Super strong and apparently unaware of his own destructive tendencies, our hero will follow through his own unique, somewhat retarded brand of incomprehensible justice. He is joined by a small child, who follows him unwillingly on his adventures.

Captain Broadband’s adventures usually either involve his attempts to improve ‘the flow of Broadband’ and promote acts of piracy, or being placed in situations that require his heroic fortitude, usually leading to the deaths of hundreds.

The webcomic was released irregularly from winter 2005 to spring 2009 before being placed on indefinite hiatus.

!!Contains examples of:
* AntiHero: Not really much of a hero in general.
* ArtEvolution: By the author’s own admission, he started the comic when he had no idea how to draw. It improved over time, but with many fluctuations and tests of art style along the way.
** His workHate comics appear to be intentionally scribbly.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Captain Broadband’s description of binary and light is unnecessarily complicated.
* BeleagueredAssistant: The LittleJimmy (or possibly Little Arthur)
* BoundAndGagged: Goodbye, parents!
* BreakoutCharacter: Averted. The shop clerks attempt to team up with Sola and thus ensure their promotion. She fails to acknowledge them even before disposing of them.
* CaptainErsatz: The Tick, right down to antennae and large chin.
* This was apparently unintentional on behalf of the author, who realized he had essentially recreated The Tick only sometime after issue 2. Then he just rolled with it.
* CarFu: Throwing manned cars to defeat your opponents is not acceptable when your opponent is an imaginary cat.
* ClarkKenting: Captain Broadband has a secret identity costume. He has yet to use it, though.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: If only this were an acceptable excuse.
* ComedicSociopathy: Played for laughs in Captain Broadband’s continuous acts of child abuse.
* DarkActionGirl: Sola
* DeathIsCheap: Captain Broadband dies at the end of issue 2. He comes back at the beginning of issue 3; only the Little Jimmy cares where he’s gone.
* DesignatedHero: He is the main character of the comic. He is the hero of the comic. He is Not a Hero!
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: Captain Broadband would disagree
* DumbMuscle: Captain Broadband
* EvilOverlord: Seen in darkness only once. Never revealed, but constantly hinted to. Possibly never existed in the first place.
* FailureHero: Whilst Captain Broadband’s definition of success differs drastically from all forms of logic, his heroic victories are usually not positive, including crashing airplanes without rescuing those inside, destroying retail blocks, and convincing children to perform acts of piracy.
** This never seems to stop him from deciding he did the right thing, though.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Though it causes no damage itself, in chasing Imaginary Pussy, Captain Broadband destroys a large portion of the neighborhood.
* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: And then they masturbate all over it!
* IdiotHero: Captain Broadband
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: I am the wielder of the fiber-optic antennae, obtainer of the Gauntlets of Grip, possessor of the will and knowledge of the ancient Broadoniansu, who have entrusted their secrets unto me. The Ultimate in Information and Communications Technology! CAPTAIN BROADBAND!
* ItsBeenDone: My parents always told me: Son, you’re special. You were born for great things. They were wrong!
* KarmaHoudini: Though the police seem aware of his disastrous antics, Captain Broadband hasn’t yet even been acknowledged to exist.
* LittleJimmy: Captain Broadband’s nameless partner exists solely for this purpose. Captain Broadband provides him with explanations of events solely for the sake of providing explanations for events. Apparently it doesn’t even matter what he’s explaining as long as he’s explaining something. No matter how gibberish it can be.
* MindControlEyes: You will forget your parents ever existed.
* MistakenForTerrorist: Averted in Issue 5. Though heavily likely to be the cause of the plane’s crash, no one accuses him of this.
** Wasn’t it the guy pretending to be the guy from Bioshock at the beginning of the issue?
** We might be going back to mind control eyes here…
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Captain Broadband works to defend downloading torrents of the Internet AND THAT IS ALL.
* NighInvulnerability: Like his copyrighted counterpart, Captain Broadband appears to be unhurtbeatable
* OblivouslyEvil: It can only be a delusional defect in his mind that Captain Broadband can think of himself as a superhero. At one point he grabs a moving vehicle and throws it at his opponent with driver still attached. As it lands, a humble passerby can doing nothing but as the crash explodes into him. Captain Broadband’s target? A kitten.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: After listening to Captain Broadband for a while, you just don’t know anymore…
* OrphanedSeries: [[http://workhate.co.uk/ He's dead, Jim.]]
* OverusedCopycatCharacter: Though poorly drawn and with a chin larger on a different axis, Captain Broadband shows a specific likeness to some other heavily muscular, blue-garbed hero.
* ParentalAbandonment: Ignoring Captain Broadband’s later actions, parents who leave a teenage (and possibly younger) son at home for an undisclosed length of time deserve a reasonable amount of comeuppance.
* RecklessSidekick: The Little Jimmy continuously pushes his limits with Captain Broadband’s patience!
* ScheduleSlip: Never kept a schedule.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Greedy’s Polluto suit
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: A clown randomly informs the reader that the idea for Captain Broadband (a hero based on a concept that only came into play at the end of the 1990s) came well before a certain another blue-garbed, Nigh Invulnerable hero created in the 1980s.
* TooDumbToLive: You do not punch a bomb to disarm it!
* UnsoundEffect: Abuse!
* WallsOfText: Captain Broadband will exposit now.
* WhatTheHellHero: What are you doing looking up Furry Porn on my computer!?
* WordSalad: When Captain Broadband explains anything.
