Liquid based pollutants however are the most effective against him as even the smallest splash on his body completely renders him weak and powerless. Radiation rapidly drains his strength over time and concentrated beams are shown to knock him back, weaken, and cause significant pain. 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. Notably, Duke Nukem (who can absorb and emit radiation) is particularly dangerous to Planet, who typically has to engage him with caution. 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. Vulnerability to Pollution: Captain Planet is weakened when he is in contact with pollution, including but not limited to toxic waste, radiation, or smog.It is possible that his transmutation power must be directed by scientific knowledge in order to create the adequate parts of a gadget if true, he also have engineering skills.Aviation: Captain Planet can pilot the Geo-cruiser.Ecology: Captain Planet have shown a great knowledge of ecology and how human actions can impact environment.Enviromental Awareness: He seems to have a sense that detects environmental imbalance in the vicinity.Self-Sustenance: he doesn't need to breath, and probably doesn't need food and water.Super Breath: he can blow big gusts of wind from his mouth.He was once strong enough to lift Zarm's starship and hurl it out of Earth's escape velocity. Super Strength: he can break out of machines and bend metal.Energy Blast : He can shoot energy blasts of unknown nature from his hands.Plant Manipulation: he can control and (literally) grow plants or become composed of it.It is established that Linka's Wind-power gives Captain Planet the ability to fly. Flight - he is always flying while stopping big pollution issues.Air Manipulation: he can generate winds or become composed of it.Water Manipulation: he can control and create water or become composed of it.Ice Manipulation : he can control and create ice or become composed of it.Fire Manipulation: he can control flames or become composed of it.Earth Manipulation: he can control all types of soils, stones or crystals or become composed of them.Elemental manipulation - he can control the following elements:.Transmutation - He can alter the form of any matter into whatever he wants.In addition, he stresses that the ultimate responsibility of saving the planet rests with the people of Earth, rather than with him.Ĭaptain Planet's abilities are never clearly defined within the show, allowing him to always have a way of defeating his enemy and solving the problem before him. In Greenhouse Planet, when he was temporarily stripped of all his powers except Earth and Heart (due to Kwame and Ma-Ti being in outer space and their powers bouncing back to him), he practiced what he preached and managed to rescue Wheeler, Linka and Gi through conventional means rather than using his normal power. Despite his own enormous power, he repeatedly reminds the Planeteers that their true power comes from within and they have the potential to succeed even without their rings. Much like Gaia, Captain Planet serves as a mentor to the team. The major exception was Captain Pollution, who left Planet with little choice but to fight him to the death on both occasions they met. 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. He only really refrains from joking if he's dealing with a serious situation that requires an equally serious demeanour, most notably the episode Mind Pollution that dealt with drug addiction.
In the episode ' Future Shock', a futuristic version of Captain Planet appears, sporting the same colour of skin and hair, but his uniform is blue with red accents, and he speaks in a semi-deeper voice.Ĭaptain Planet has a strong sense of humour and frequently makes puns and comes while taunting the villains.
But in his very first appearance, his boots were missing for the first two episodes. His skin is crystal blue, and he wears a wide red collar that covers most of his chest, nape, and shoulders and has a yellow globe sign on it, red gloves, red trunks that have a black belt with a gold buckle on the front, and red boots. Captain Planet has a long grass-green mullet and earthy brown eyes.
