SUPER POWERS

Captain D has x-ray hearing powers! He can detect great music without even listening to the actual CD! He got his powers late one night in the CD Baby warehouse after listening to the 10,000th CD that was submitted...the electricity mysteriously went out and came back on with a sudden jolt! But his real power comes from selling other Artists music!

SECRET WEAPON

The baby eyes in the CD Baby logo hypnotize people persuading them to buy music...Resistance is futile!

VULNERABILITY

Captain D's super powers weaken if he does not sing, write or play music at least 15 minutes a day.
