Captain B. McCrea

The Captain was a human male in command of the Axiom, circa 2815 AD. Like the rest of humanity, he was extremely obese and almost always confined to a hoverchair. Most of the day-to-day management of the ship was handled by Auto and the ship's computer. However, once a probe ship returned with evidence of life on Earth, the Captain wished to return to Earth immediately and bring humanity home. He was nearly foiled by Auto and Gopher (who were secretly following Directive A-113), but thanks to the efforts of WALL•E and EVE, the human race made it back to their home planet safely.
