Powers and Stats

Tier: 9-A

Name: Skipper

Origin: Madagascar

Gender: Male

Age: 25 (Unknown if it is in penguin years or human years)

Classification: Looks like a Pygoscelis adeliae (Adélie Penguin)

Powers and Abilities:

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Small Size (Type 1), Social Influencing (Tricks the people of Central Park Zoo into believing that they are unassuming and "cute and cuddly" penguins daily with them being none the wiser to their antics), Toon Force and Elasticity (Can survive a printing press and come out just fine. He can yell loud enough to cause vibrations), Martial Arts, Underground Mobility (Seen here), Accelerated Development (Retained his memories and full combat capabilities after a short amount of time after they were completely wiped by Dr. Blowhole's technology), Stealth Mastery (Snuck into a human safari camp and stole their supplies.

Should be comparable to his men that he instructed to be able to dodge attacks while blindfolded. Could sense an ambush combing and react accordingly to all it's threats, even when not in his range of vision), Attack Reflection (Can reflect projectiles with his body and direct them precisely enough to jam weapons), Limited Precognition (His gut will always tell him what is the right answer, even if Skipper himself doesn’t believe it, and the gut is always correct), Extreme Pain Tolerance, Limited Probability Manipulation (On very rare occasions, Skipper experiences what he refers to as a "Perfect Day". When this happens, he basically cannot fail in any task that he performs in-universe), Limited Resistance to Extreme Temperatures and Inhospitable Conditions (Though harmed by it, they can survive walking on a surface hot enough to turn an egg to ash), Limited Self-Memory Manipulation and Astral Projection (When his memory was wiped, his subconscious created a spirit guide to help him get his memory back), Ice Manipulation (Repeatedly breaks out of ice as cold as the kind on Antarctica)

Fire Manipulation (With flamethrower), Enhanced Explosion Manipulation (With grenades and rocket launchers), Enhanced Senses (Possesses surveillance goggles that have night vision, heat tracking and radar), Flight (With jetpacks), Energy Projection (With laser pen), Electricity Manipulation and Paralysis Inducement (Can use a rug or a balloon to supercharge himself on static electricity enabling him to paralyze opponents), Resistance to Sleep and Poison Manipulation (With gas masks)

Sleep Manipulation (With knockout gas), Smoke Manipulation (With smoke bombs), Light Manipulation (Able to use a sandwich to flashbang others), Enhanced Flight (With planes and spacecrafts), Size Manipulation (With Inflatium. When having absorbed Inflatium into his body, his body will puff up like a balloon, which makes him immune to energy projection and getting his atoms smashed)

Attack Potency: Small Building level (Considerably superior to all the threats Alex and Marty have faced. Should be superior to Gloria, who broke a large hole in a brick wall. He and his gang casually stomped and tossed out Nana out of a safari bus, who easily put a held-back Alex on the ropes and was somewhat on par with a fully-bloodlusted Alex, and Nana even tanked a safari bus hitting her at top speed. Has numerous feats of this level. Can damage himself and those capable of fighting on par with him)

Speed: Subsonic (A security camera has several problems catching the moves of his team. Can easily outspeed metro trains just by sliding. Has effortlessly blitzed enemies that Alex had a hard time reacting to), Relativistic reaction speed (Is able to reflect lasers that Dr. Blowhole is able to dodge)

Lifting Strength: Class 100 (Easily on par with Alex and the rest of his gang. Can casually match 2 gorillas at once in a tug-of-war)

Striking Strength: Small Building level (Can easily stomp characters who stalemated or even defeated Alex)

Durability: Small Building level (Took attacks from an elephant and a bloodlusted kangaroo. Regularly survives Rico's antics. Was hit by a plane. Was unharmed after being sat upon by an elephant. Far superior to anything Alex has faced, and thus should be considerably superior to both Marty and Chantel Dubois. Has numerous durability feats of this level too long to list here)

Stamina: Superhuman. Capable of staying up for weeks with no access to food and water without showing signs of exhaustion. Has had decades worth of military experience and has endured massive beatdowns from animals far larger than him, and has also claimed to have withstood intense torture routines in gulags, concentration camps and whatnot in the episode Right-Hand Man.

Range: Standard melee range, up to hundreds of meters with weaponry.

Standard Equipment: Crowbars, grappling hook, flamethrower, grenades, fish, rocket launchers, gas masks, surveillance goggles, laser pen, jetpacks, balloon

Optional Equipment: Inflatium, remote-control planes, spacecraft, knockout gas grenades, bombs, dynamite, smoke bomb

Intelligence: Gifted. Genius in combat. He has had decades worth of experience fighting various animal species and has even shown himself to outsmart other highly-intelligent animal operatives. At his peak, Skipper was able to knock out an entire squadron of the best in Danish security and broke into the Danish Consulate to obtain his incriminating files. Even when he had lost all of his memories and was stranded on an island, he regained his memories through use of a spirit guide built through his own subconscious and retained his fighting ability even without them. Possesses astute accuracy, even managing to perform impossible feats such as throwing a playing card such that it hit four ropes just the way he intended them to, hitting back projectiles thrown at him precisely into the slot of the weapon while doing acrobatics in midair, and throwing a coin with impeccably precise ricochets in order to free his friends. Has such a mastery over stealth that he can disappear before even his own men's very eyes easily and breaking into a heavily guarded place like Fort Knox is like child's play to him. He trained two of his own men to fight with their eyes closed and an ambush from all of them combined couldn't even phase him. Regularly effortlessly knocks out humans and commandeered an entire ship alongside the rest of his men. Can outsmart even extraordinary geniuses like Dr. Blowhole and equals to him like Hans.

Weaknesses: Short-tempered, often tends to takes things too seriously

Feats:

Casually defeated a gorilla in an arm-wrestling match
Held his own against a bloodlusted kangaroo
Crushed a golf ball in sheer anger in the episode Launchtime
In the episode Fun Day, he claimed to have effortlessly stomped an angry walrus with just his right flipper back in his early days
Could take out Foosa with a single strike, who were capable of withstanding a direct kick from Marty, and being crushed by Gloria

Captain Barnacles
Captain Barnacles is the captain of the Octonauts and a brave polar bear. Along with being the captain, Barnacles is also the strongest member of the crew, and he's demonstrated that in a number of different episodes. He's also one of the most level-headed crew members, often dismissing Kwazii's outlandish stories about sea monsters and ghosts. His crew has a lot of respect for him. He's mainly one of the most iconic characters out of all the Octonauts, and plays as the main character mostly.

It's also been revealed that he rather fancies playing the accordion. Rather unfortunately, he has trouble playing it well, as shown in The Octonauts and the Orcas. So far, the only ones to appreciate the music have been a pod of Orcas. He is also an oceanographer and a map finder.

Captain Barnacles is also very fond of the Arctic Circle, as that is where he grew up with his twin sister Bianca.

In both the UK and US versions, Captain Barnacles speaks with a British accent.

As shown in the Manatees, it is revealed that he can rather be embarrassed by situations he gets into to. He mispronounces Shellington's name and gets his sentences mixed up when he looks at what's coming to him.

It is revealed in The Octonauts and The Caves of Sac Actun, that he has claustrophobia after being stuck inside an ice cave/hole as a cub. Being in the narrow Sac Actun Cave tunnels reminded him of how he came to fear tight, closed-in spaces as a young cub and throughout his adult life. It is interesting to note that at the time, Kwazii and Dashi knew about this, while Peso did not. This might be because Peso came to the crew later, or because Kwazii is considered more of a best friend or a right-hand man. However, Barnacles manages to overcome his fear with the help of Peso's bravery and support from Ryla and the other Octonauts.

Captain Barnacles has white fur and a blue uniform with a matching hat. He's also always seen wearing his Octo-Compass on his belt, which falls crooked on the right side of his body. His earlobes are white, though the insides are bright blue as well as his snout.
Outfits

Octonauts Uniform
Exercise attire (in books + The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire)
Deep-Sea Suit
Pajamas (many times in the show)
Snow Suit (despite being a cold-adapted animal)
Heat-Proof Suits (The Water Bears)
Santa Christmas Hat (The Great Christmas Rescue and The Very Vegimal Christmas)
Octo-Alert

Captain Barnacles sounds off the Octo-Alert to gather the Octonauts to the main deck to help an underwater creature. He does not usually sound the Octo-Alert himself, he sends the person closest to him to do it, or the one that has a problem. When he calls for the launch bay he runs down the hallways and jumps down chutes with Kwazii and Peso. In one of the episodes, he is seen weightlifting, which gives him his strength. He has a habit of saying "Octonauts, to the..." when he hears the Octo-Alert, even if he wasn't the one who sounded it (episodes "The Kelp Forest Rescue", "The Crafty Cuttlefish", "The Mantis Shrimp", etc.). Sometimes when the power happens to be off, and Barnacles needs to use the Octo-Alert, he gets the Vegimals to do their version of it.

Trivia

Captain Barnacles 2022 (Version 1)
Captain Barnacles is the author of a book manual How to Pilot the Octopod, Third Edition.
Barnacles earned every Polar Scout Badge except one, the Walrus Rescue Badge, which he finally earned in "The Walrus Pups"
He and Dashi are the only Octonauts who regularly sleeps with their hats on in bed.
Captain Barnacles is often seen playing the accordion in the books. This hobby was carried into the show.
The entire crew often gets a headache when he plays his accordion, as he has trouble playing it correctly sometimes.
Other hobbies of his in the books include writing in his Captain's log (shown in The Sea of Shade writing "I like peas...they taste good."), making shadow puppet shows, singing sea shanties + singing in the rain, exercising, dancing to music with the Vegimals, and building models (in the style of ships in a bottle, in this case Gups, as he's seen making a model of the Gup A). Most hobbies are exclusive to the books and don't reoccur in the show.
He usually squints his eyes whenever he is giving orders, thinking about problems or talking to his crew at certain times.
Captain Barnacles is claustrophobic (fear of tight spaces), as shown in the Caves of Sac Actun.
Out of the whole crew, he considers Peso to be "The bravest Octonaut I've ever met", as mentioned at the end of "The Caves of Sac Actun".
It is shown that in the books he lacks his full uniform, even in the last two created after the show debuted his clothed design.
It is possible he can hold his breath for more than two minutes as seen in the The Great Arctic Adventure.
Captain Barnacles' favorite flavor of kelp cake is Chocolate.
The aerobics outfit he wears in The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire is a reference to a similar outfit he wore in the first Octonauts book, The Octonauts and the Only Lonely Monster.
He is the Octonaut who is stung by jellyfish the most.
In Above and Beyond, he'll be more on his vulnerable side and more worried for his crew.
Captain barnacles is strict sometimes, as he does not like Kwazii leaving the gup without noticing him then seeing him swim out without his permission at the right time, which makes him have to follow Kwazii back.
Captain Barnacles' family might be from Canada, as seen from his room decoration, where had a banner called "MV Manitoba", a reference to the province of Manitoba. The Great Arctic Adventure shows Captain Barnacles visiting Bianca and her 2 twins, who are living in Northern Canada. However, Barnacles' family live in a den that is in Alaska.
He is the only Octonaut to wear a full uniform covering his body.
Captain Barnacles have a little bit angry eyes (it looks like that) when he talks about a very serious problem or when he wants the members to make it done. However, in the Journey To China episodes, he does this eye often, while in the other seasons, he did the squint eyes.
Captain Barnacles blinks his eyes in a fast speed (almost no animation), but in Journey To China, he blinks in a very slow speed. It takes usually 1.3 seconds for him to blink.
He has a globe-shaped captain-cap in JTC episodes.

Powers and Abilities:

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Small Size (Type 1), Social Influencing (Tricks the people of Central Park Zoo into believing that they are unassuming and "cute and cuddly" penguins daily with them being none the wiser to their antics), Toon Force and Elasticity (Can survive a printing press and come out just fine. He can yell loud enough to cause vibrations), Martial Arts, Underground Mobility (Seen here), Accelerated Development (Retained his memories and full combat capabilities after a short amount of time after they were completely wiped by Dr. Blowhole's technology), Stealth Mastery (Snuck into a human safari camp and stole their supplies.

Should be comparable to his men that he instructed to be able to dodge attacks while blindfolded. Could sense an ambush combing and react accordingly to all it's threats, even when not in his range of vision), Attack Reflection (Can reflect projectiles with his body and direct them precisely enough to jam weapons), Limited Precognition (His gut will always tell him what is the right answer, even if Skipper himself doesn’t believe it, and the gut is always correct), Extreme Pain Tolerance, Limited Probability Manipulation (On very rare occasions, Skipper experiences what he refers to as a "Perfect Day". When this happens, he basically cannot fail in any task that he performs in-universe), Limited Resistance to Extreme Temperatures and Inhospitable Conditions (Though harmed by it, they can survive walking on a surface hot enough to turn an egg to ash), Limited Self-Memory Manipulation and Astral Projection (When his memory was wiped, his subconscious created a spirit guide to help him get his memory back), Ice Manipulation (Repeatedly breaks out of ice as cold as the kind on Antarctica)

Sleep Manipulation (With knockout gas), Smoke Manipulation (With smoke bombs), Light Manipulation (Able to use a sandwich to flashbang others), Enhanced Flight (With planes and spacecrafts), Size Manipulation (With Inflatium. When having absorbed Inflatium into his body, his body will puff up like a balloon, which makes him immune to energy projection and getting his atoms smashed)

Attack Potency: Small Building level (Considerably superior to all the threats Alex and Marty have faced. Should be superior to Gloria, who broke a large hole in a brick wall. He and his gang casually stomped and tossed out Nana out of a safari bus, who easily put a held-back Alex on the ropes and was somewhat on par with a fully-bloodlusted Alex, and Nana even tanked a safari bus hitting her at top speed. Has numerous feats of this level. Can damage himself and those capable of fighting on par with him)

Speed: Subsonic (A security camera has several problems catching the moves of his team. Can easily outspeed metro trains just by sliding. Has effortlessly blitzed enemies that Alex had a hard time reacting to), Relativistic reaction speed (Is able to reflect lasers that Dr. Blowhole is able to dodge)

Lifting Strength: Class 100 (Easily on par with Alex and the rest of his gang. Can casually match 2 gorillas at once in a tug-of-war)

Striking Strength: Small Building level (Can easily stomp characters who stalemated or even defeated Alex)

Durability: Small Building level (Took attacks from an elephant and a bloodlusted kangaroo. Regularly survives Rico's antics. Was hit by a plane. Was unharmed after being sat upon by an elephant. Far superior to anything Alex has faced, and thus should be considerably superior to both Marty and Chantel Dubois. Has numerous durability feats of this level too long to list here)

Stamina: Superhuman. Capable of staying up for weeks with no access to food and water without showing signs of exhaustion. Has had decades worth of military experience and has endured massive beatdowns from animals far larger than him, and has also claimed to have withstood intense torture routines in gulags, concentration camps and whatnot in the episode Right-Hand Man.

Range: Standard melee range, up to hundreds of meters with weaponry.

Standard Equipment: Crowbars, grappling hook, flamethrower, grenades, fish, rocket launchers, gas masks, surveillance goggles, laser pen, jetpacks, balloon

Optional Equipment: Inflatium, remote-control planes, spacecraft, knockout gas grenades, bombs, dynamite, smoke bomb

Intelligence: Gifted. Genius in combat. He has had decades worth of experience fighting various animal species and has even shown himself to outsmart other highly-intelligent animal operatives. At his peak, Skipper was able to knock out an entire squadron of the best in Danish security and broke into the Danish Consulate to obtain his incriminating files. Even when he had lost all of his memories and was stranded on an island, he regained his memories through use of a spirit guide built through his own subconscious and retained his fighting ability even without them. Possesses astute accuracy, even managing to perform impossible feats such as throwing a playing card such that it hit four ropes just the way he intended them to, hitting back projectiles thrown at him precisely into the slot of the weapon while doing acrobatics in midair, and throwing a coin with impeccably precise ricochets in order to free his friends. Has such a mastery over stealth that he can disappear before even his own men's very eyes easily and breaking into a heavily guarded place like Fort Knox is like child's play to him. He trained two of his own men to fight with their eyes closed and an ambush from all of them combined couldn't even phase him.

Casually defeated a gorilla in an arm-wrestling match
Held his own against a bloodlusted kangaroo
Crushed a golf ball in sheer anger in the episode Launchtime
In the episode Fun Day, he claimed to have effortlessly stomped an angry walrus with just his right flipper back in his early days

The entire crew often gets a headache when he plays his accordion, as he has trouble playing it correctly sometimes.
Other hobbies of his in the books include writing in his Captain's log (shown in The Sea of Shade writing "I like peas...they taste good."), making shadow puppet shows, singing sea shanties + singing in the rain, exercising, dancing to music with the Vegimals, and building models (in the style of ships in a bottle, in this case Gups, as he's seen making a model of the Gup A). Most hobbies are exclusive to the books and don't reoccur in the show.
He usually squints his eyes whenever he is giving orders, thinking about problems or talking to his crew at certain times.
Captain Barnacles is claustrophobic (fear of tight spaces), as shown in the Caves of Sac Actun.
Out of the whole crew, he considers Peso to be "The bravest Octonaut I've ever met", as mentioned at the end of "The Caves of Sac Actun".
It is shown that in the books he lacks his full uniform, even in the last two created after the show debuted his clothed design.
It is possible he can hold his breath for more than two minutes as seen in the The Great Arctic Adventure.
Captain Barnacles' favorite flavor of kelp cake is Chocolate.
The aerobics outfit he wears in The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire is a reference to a similar outfit he wore in the first Octonauts book, The Octonauts and the Only Lonely Monster.
He is the Octonaut who is stung by jellyfish the most.
In Above and Beyond, he'll be more on his vulnerable side and more worried for his crew.
Captain barnacles is strict sometimes, as he does not like Kwazii leaving the gup without noticing him then seeing him swim out without his permission at the right time, which makes him have to follow Kwazii back.
Captain Barnacles' family might be from Canada, as seen from his room decoration, where had a banner called "MV Manitoba", a reference to the province of Manitoba. The Great Arctic Adventure shows Captain Barnacles visiting Bianca and her 2 twins, who are living in Northern Canada. However, Barnacles' family live in a den that is in Alaska.
He is the only Octonaut to wear a full uniform covering his body.
Captain Barnacles have a little bit angry eyes (it looks like that) when he talks about a very serious problem or when he wants the members to make it done. However, in the Journey To China episodes, he does this eye often, while in the other seasons, he did the squint eyes.
Captain Barnacles blinks his eyes in a fast speed (almost no animation), but in Journey To China, he blinks in a very slow speed. It takes usually 1.3 seconds for him to blink.
He has a globe-shaped captain-cap in JTC episodes.
