Captain Obvious

A mocking reference to someone who unnecessarily states facts that are obvious or otherwise already known. It is intended as a spurious comparison of the individual to a superhero (e.g. Captain America) treating the individual's grasp of the obvious as though it were something impressive rather than common and ordinary.

Bob: Don't eat too much or you will make yourself sick.
Alice: Thanks, Captain Obvious.
