  Captain Planet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Planet is often referred to as a superhero as he is a caricature of nobility, wears a flamboyant costume and has many superpowers.
Captain Planet is formed by combining the powers of the rings of the five Planeteers, which represented the four Classical elements: Earth (wielded by Kwame), Fire (Wheeler), Wind (Linka), Water (Gi) -- and the additional power of Heart (Ma-ti).
Captain Planet has a very impressive array of powers: He can fly, has great strength, the ability to blow hurricane force winds, telepathy, telekinesis, can change shape, transmute matter, and virtually any other super-power required by the circumstances currently facing him, which, in fact was one of the criticisms against the show.

 Captain Planet and the Planeteers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Planet and the Planeteers is an American animated elemental television series created by Ted Turner and produced by Jane Fonda and Nicholas Boxer to promote environmentalism.
The Planeteers used transportation based on solar power in order to avoid causing pollution themselves (the origin of the vehicles was never explained—conjecture exists that the vehicles may have been sent from the future, given the rampant use of time travel in later seasons).
Some feel that Captain Planet's presence in the show undermines its message of environmental activism, as the Planeteers are given a "genie" they can call to solve their problems for them.

 Captain Planet:  Mission to Save Earth:  A Jabootu Nugget   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This is the Planeteers’ motto, like "Avengers Assemble" or "It’s Clobberin’ Time!" Captain Planet’s mantra, meanwhile, is "The Power Is Yours!" This is directed at the kids in the audience, letting them know that if the world’s going to be saved they have to harangue their parents about why they use a washing machine.
Captain Pollution, meanwhile, is soon lounging in a bath of toxic waste and drawing sustenance from it.
Since Captain Planet is weakened by pollution and Captain Pollution by pure elements, my initial and overly optimistic assumption was that as soon as they came into contact with one another they’d both be destroyed.
