Captain B. McCrea

Captain B. McCrea is a major character of WALL•E. He was a human male of indeterminate age who was in command of the Axiom from 2775 to 2805 (30 years). Like the rest of humanity, his body had adapted to extended life in low gravity and extreme inactivity, appearing to be obese, suffering from reduced muscle mass 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, but Captain McCrea made a point to do the ship's daily morning announcements, once going so far as to rewind the ship's time settings so he could do the "morning" announcement, despite having slept through it.

It becomes apparent that McCrea is not merely a figurehead that can only push buttons, but was trained to at least understand electronics. This allows him to bypass the conventional, user-friendly controls to work directly with the systems underneath.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, not only as a captain,also he will make anyone can make more plants to Earth.
