- "By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!"
- ―Captain PlanetCaptain Planet is the eponymous main character of the 90's TV show ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers.''
He is created by the five elements of the Magic Rings Gaia had invented. The elements that are used to create him are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart.
Personality[]
Captain Planet has a strong and good sense of humor and commonly makes dry puns and comes while taunting the villains. He only really refrains from joking if he's dealing with a serious situation that requires an equally serious demeanor, most notably the episode Mind Pollution that dealt with drug addiction. He is also highly altruistic and is quick to rescue anyone in trouble, including his eco-villain enemies--on numerous occasions, he has saved various eco-villains from dangerous situations, and he almost never harms them even when provoked. The major exception was Captain Pollution, who left Planet with little choice but to fight him to the death on both occasions they met.
Powers and Abilities[]
Captain Planet's abilities are never clearly defined within the show, allowing him to always easily have a way of defeating his enemy
Weaknesses[]
- Vulnerability to Pollution: Captain Planet is weakened when he is in contact with pollution, including but not limited to toxic waste, radiation, or smog. The eco-villains frequently take advantage of this and attempt to neutralize Captain Planet with various pollutants, occasionally succeeding and forcing the Planeteers to try and rescue him. Notably, Duke Nukem (who can absorb and emit radiation) is particularly dangerous to Planet, who typically has to engage him with caution. It can be noted that air based pollution like smog and aerosols only tend to incapacitate and cause him to cough uncontrollably, but not completely deplete his powers and cause unconsciousness. Radiation rapidly drains his strength over time and concentrated beams are shown to knock him back, weaken, and cause significant pain. Liquid based pollutants however are the most effective against him as even the smallest splash on his body completely renders him weak and powerless. Often, when his whole body gets coated with pollutants, he either completely loses consciousness or is incapacitated to the point that he cannot even stand.
