Captain Strong is a character and boss in EarthBound. He is the head of the Onett police force who is antagonistic toward Ness. After recording the first of the Eight Melodies in Giant Step, Captain Strong orders Ness to report to the Onett Police Station for trespassing. There, he is battled after fighting four of his henchmen Cops in a row. Despite claiming to use his "Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot martial arts", his most powerful attack is to grapple and use a submission hold; he can also raise his offense by losing his temper. Once defeated, Captain Strong will radio to have the road to Twoson opened, allowing the player to progress.
Unlike the Cops encountered before him, Captain Strong does not go back to normal upon defeat, but displays a generic defeat message. During battle, the "Battle Against an Unsettling Opponent" track plays in the background.
Later in the game, the Over Zealous Cop appears as a rare enemy, randomly appearing on the beach of Summers.
