Appearances
Austin has played Captain Hammer in one episode of The Backyardigans: "Race to the Tower of Power" from season one. He reprises this role in the Nintendo DS game.
Trivia
- The web-original musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog also features a superhero character known as Captain Hammer, complete with a very similar uniform. However, Dr. Horrible's take on the character isn't as righteous as his Backyardigans counterpart, and his powers are vastly different, as he possesses super strength and super speed but not an actual hammer.
