Design
Captain Corn is pretty much what his name says. His face resembles a piece of corn, whilst his clothing showcases his career as a pirate via a large comical pirate hat which features a skull and crossbones and tight leather pants. He also has a large handlebar mustache and is always seen smoking a cigar. Captain Corn also holds a real sword and seems to have great skills using it.
Biography
History
Captain Corn died from unknown reasons, but he was known to be a pirate who sailed around the sea, enjoying his life as a pirate. His favorite food was corn in all forms. When Dr. Faker found his body, he opened a compass which he found on Corn's body, and a piece of corn fell onto Corn's body, reviving him with the appearance of a cob of corn.[1] He gave Captain Corn a soul,[2] and made him work under Mr. Heartland.
Theme Park
Captain Corn is first introduced together with Thunder Spark and Koron-chan as the Theme Park's "guardians of peace and justice".
After being revived by Dr. Faker, Captain Corn worked as a entertainer on a vegetable-themed roller coaster attraction within the Heartland Theme Park called "Nature Crooz", dressed as a his previous career of a pirate. He localizes "Numbers" holders using a special camera, and then uses the ride to attract them to him, which he will then Duel, and get their "Numbers" cards.[3]
When Yuma Tsukumo and his friends from the Numbers Club entered the ride, Captain Corn separated Yuma from the others and challenged him to a Duel betting their "Numbers". Straight away, he gained the advantage by Summoning his "Number": "Number 50: Black Corn", which shocked Yuma and Astral.[4] Corn also trapped Yuma's friends on the ride, nearly causing them to be run over by a mine cart. Cathy saved them by pulling a lever, which caused the connected lever near Corn to hit him in the groin. When he lost, he exploded into a pile of popcorn, which Yuma and his friends then eat.[1]
It is later revealed that when Dr. Faker "created" Captain Corn, Thunder Spark and Koron-chan, he gave them souls. However, if they failed at their tasks, their souls would leave them, making them return to their original form.[2] Apparently, this was what happened to Captain Corn - after losing to Yuma, he failed at his missions, becoming corn again. Then, the explosion caused the corn to pop.
