"Spectrum Strikes Back" is the ninth episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Tony Barwick and directed by Ken Turner, it was first broadcast on 24 November 1967 on ATV Midlands.
Following the events of "Operation Time", in this episode Spectrum unveils two defences that it has developed against the Mysterons. However, the actions of a Mysteron agent leave the conference delegates in mortal danger.
Colonel White (voiced by Donald Gray), Captain Scarlet (Francis Matthews) and Captain Blue (Ed Bishop) attend a secret conference hosted by Spectrum Intelligence beneath a hunting lodge in an African game reserve. Also present are the World President, Space General Peterson and, finally, SI's Dr Giadello, who has developed two anti-Mysteron devices based on the discoveries that Spectrum made during the attempted assassination of General Tiempo. To exploit the Mysterons' vulnerability to electricity, the "Mysteron Gun" can fire concentrated electron beams capable of permanently destroying their reconstructions; the "Mysteron Detector", meanwhile, is a radiographic device that can distinguish Mysteron agents from humans by the former's imperviousness to X-rays.
