Captain Hammer is the narcissistic archenemy of Dr. Horrible.

In Act I, Captain Hammer attempts to stop Dr. Horrible's wonderflonuim heist. Hammer damaged the remote that Dr. Horrible was using to control the currier van carrying the wonderflonium he needed for his freeze ray. The van went out of control and almost hit Penny. Hammer pushed her out of the way into a pile of garbage in an attempt to save her before trying to stop the van that was speeding towards her. Dr. Horrible, using his remote control, stopped the van but Hammer received the credit.

In Act II Hammer then took Penny out on a date not long after. When he meets Billy in the laundromat, he reveals that he knows of his identity as Dr. Horrible and that he is only dating Penny in order to humiliate him. This prompts Dr. Horrible to decide to kill Hammer to enter the Evil League of Evil.

In Act III Hammer becomes known throughout the city for his opening of a new Homeless Shelter for Penny. During the opening of the new shelter Captain Hammer gives a speech which shows his utter disdain of the homeless as well as proclaiming the fact that he's slept with Penny with the song Everyone's A Hero with the audience still praising him and humiliating Penny. Before he finishes the last note of his song Dr. Horrible reveals himself and hits Hammer with his Freeze Ray (weapon). As Dr. Horrible is about to finish him off with the Death Ray, the Freeze Rays' effects wear off and Captain Hammer knocks him across the room with a punch to the face. Picking up the damaged Death Ray, Hammer decides to kill Dr. Horrible himself but upon firing the weapon explodes, sending him flying across the room and getting his first taste of physical pain, upon which he is automatically traumatized and runs off crying. The news then proclaims that Dr. Horrible has defeated Captain Hammer, who is last seen crying to a psychiatrist.

Superhuman Abilities

Captain Hammer has superhuman strength and is highly resistant to harm. In fact, the exploding Death Ray was apparently the first thing to ever cause him pain. He also refers to having a secret lair with equipment including a motorcycle and a "Hamjet."
