When summoning Captain Planet, he is the second Planeteer to call out their element. He comes from North America (more specifically, Brooklyn, New York). He found his ring after saving a man from a thug that was trying to mug him. The ring then shot out from a flaming drum and landed in Wheeler's hand.
Personality[]
Wheeler is all about action and does not always think things through before acting. He often roasts, and belittles the Eco-Villains, taunting them and infuriating them with quick remarks and insults. Although not necessarily lazy, he is often tempted to abandon work in order to have some fun. However, he is very loyal and can be counted on in a crisis if someone is depending on him.
Wheeler is athletic. He likes wind surfing, surfing although not particularly talented at ether sport. He also plays volleyball as well as basket ball. He surfs up until the end of the second season of the cartoon form this point on, wheeler seems to focused more on basket ball. In the comic he is depicted at being completely un-talented at surfing, losing to GI in a contest, who it is implied, taught him how to windsurf in the TV series.
