Michael J. Caboose

Michael J. Caboose is one of the main characters of the Red vs. Blue webseries.

Caboose is portrayed as one of the most eccentric characters in the series and is consistently shown to be mentally abnormal.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Caboose is currently part of the Heroes Coalition and is an, for better or for worse, honorary member of the Bullet Kingdom(formerly known as New Age Avengers).

Appearance
Caboose wears a blue Mark V Spartan Armor.

Personality
Caboose seems to act very childish as his understanding of the world and actions are incorrect and shows a great amount of curiosity. However, Caboose does show a lot of care to many characters, even to the Reds, despite them being rivals. He often tries to impress others in order to gain their respect, although it often backfires in some way. Caboose shows a great amount of loyalty as well, as shown when he kept trying to resurrect Church through Epsilon. Because of his mentality, Caboose easily becomes hurt if insulted, such as in Change of Plans, and is easily abused, such as when he was tricked to shake the Alien's "other arm". Overall, Caboose may act like a child, but is very loyal and brave when the situation calls for it. He's also incessantly cheerful; always expressing enthusiasm and adopting an optimistic mentality on missions and in the face of danger. Upon passing through the Construct portal, Santa describes him as never having a negative attitude. He does show that when he feels lonely he can become highly obsessive and secretive; such as the events in Relocation and his discovery of Freckles.

Abilities
Physical Strength - Though unintelligent and unskilled with weaponry, Caboose possesses tremendous physical strength when angry or in simple situations, thought by Church and Tucker to be "God's way of compensating."

Engineering - Despite his lack of intelligence, Caboose has shown a surprising skill in engineering. In Recreation Caboose alone was able to put Epsilon into an alien artifact, and in Revelation, he was shown to successfully use the crane controls in the battle against Epsilon-Tex.

Kills - Despite not having many skills, Caboose has killed several characters, although some were the cause of friendly fire.
