It appears that the "Captain Proton" novelization may have been based on the early 1940s science fiction series ''Captain Video and His Video Rangers'', with some cosmetic changes. The series shared the same campy themes and post World War II/Cold War clichés. A robot also existed in that series by the name of Tobor.
