	~ Captain Putty to Ellie Steckler.

	~ Putty's last words before his defeat, and also his most famous quote.

Captain S. Putty is the secondary antagonist of the 2022 Disney+ hybrid adventure film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, which serves as a "meta" continuation of the 1989-90 classic and original animated show of the same name.

He is a Gumby-style claymation character who works as a police detective, being the superior of Ellie Steckler, a police officer who wants to help Chip and Dale to rescue Monterey Jack, one of their old castmates, from the clutches of the Valley Gang. However, it later turns out that Captain Putty is in cahoots with Sweet Pete, being a willing accomplice of Pete's bootleg film operation.

He was voiced by J.K. Simmons, who also played Alexander Rausch in Homicide: Life on the Street, Vernon Schillinger in Oz, General Wade Eiling in Justice League Unlimited, Skip in Aliens in the Attic, Cave Johnson in the Portal video game series, Terence Fletcher in Whiplash, Kai the Collector in Kung Fu Panda 3, Captain Matt McKenna in 21 Bridges, Omni-Man in Invincible, Ivo Shandor in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ketheric Thorm in Baldur's Gate 3.

Appearance

Captain Putty is a stick of grey clay (though he tends to appear as various shades of blue) with big eyes, red eyebrows, a bushy brown mustache, red lips and brown balding hair that he can manipulate into a combover. He wears grey pants, a belt, brown shoes, a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and a black tie. He occasionally wears a tan trench coat and a grey hat.

Personality

Captain Putty is a short-tempered and dutiful police officer. Being at the top, he takes his job seriously and gets easily agitated when any minor inconvenience stymies him. However, he is revealed to be very manipulative and even mischievous to a certain degree. He is quick to make jokes and poke fun at those who he feels are beneath him, particularly Ellie Steckler for a botched raid, though this is revealed to be the result of Putty misleading her, showing that he has no remorse for his actions and enjoys doing emotional damage to others.

Powers and Skills

When he was seemingly a hero, he was able to get fingerprints onto his clay body and slice the portions off so they can be analyzed.

When attacking Ellie, he banged her head between cymbals.

Biography

“	Captain Putty: Drop it, Steckler. Ellie Steckler: What? Captain Putty? Chip: Dale was right. (groans) How cliché. Captain Putty: I know. It is a bit unoriginal, right? Sweet Pete, remember when you first approached me to turn bad, be a bad guy, work with you, and I was like, "Come on! That's too predictable." Sweet Pete: Yeah. And what did I say? Sweet Pete and Captain Putty: "If it ain't broke..." (both laugh) Ellie Steckler: How could you? Captain Putty: I know, I know. It's terrible. I am so ashamed. But I had no choice. My mother needed an operation. See, she got injured playing the game of Operation. She got too close to the sides and, uh... (sniffing) ...she got buzzed really bad. (sobs but then laughs) Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't do it any longer. Money! I'm a greedy little Smurf who did it for the money. Chip: Hilarious. Captain Putty: Yeah, but I had you going there for a second, didn't I? "Hello, I think I just saw Peppa Pig heading into Nickelodeon Jr." (laughs) Ellie Steckler: It was you? You gave the fake tip. You derailed the whole investigation and... and worst of all, you made me doubt myself. Captain Putty: Oh, come on. Don't be so fragile.	„

In an off-screen moment, Sweet Pete invites Captain Putty to join his criminals cash in exchange for cash, even though he knows this was a cliché, Putty accepts to be part of the gang.

During the entire movie, Putty manages to cover up Sweet Pete's tracks by giving his officers like Ellie false leads.

In the end, Putty was defeated by Ellie and arrested by the FBI.

During the credits, Putty was seen in his cell throwing parts of himself at the wall to pass the time.

Trivia

• Originally, the reason for Putty being on Pete’s side was mainly because of his hatred and jealousy towards Ellie.
• A running gag shows that when someone sees his back, there's something on him.
• Putty’s appearance resembles that of Gumby.
• When he gets slapped into a wall with newspaper, he mentions that the words from the newspaper is stuck on his face like Silly Putty, Meaning he's a Silly Putty Toon.
• Putty was meant to die after getting frozen and shattered to pieces but that was proven to be too dark and gruesome for people who would watch the film.
  • It also makes sense that he would survive considering he is made of clay and could put himself back together if he needed to.
• In the movie, a brief glimpse of Captain Putty's office can be seen revealing on his desk his full name, showing that his name is Captain S. Putty.
• He resembles many characters from pop-culture:
  • The way his hand morphs into an anvil when attacking Ellie bears a striking resemblance to how Judge Doom morphs his hand into an anvil when attacking Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
  • His defeat references that of the T-1000's defeat by being frozen and shattered by Ellie.
