Captain Planet was created by Ted Turner in the early 1990's. The idea behind the series was to create an entertaining action program that was meant to make viewers aware of environmental hazards. The villains Captain Planet had to fight included characters such as Sly Sludge, Hoggish Greedly, Dr. Blight, Looten Plunder, Verminous Skumm, and Duke Nukem.

Captain Planet was formed by combining the powers of the rings of the five Planeteers, which represented the four Classical elements: Earth (Kwame), Fire (Wheeler), Wind (Linka), Water (Gi) -- and Heart (Ma-Ti) as well as hidden character Blark Flark who showed up briefly in episode 63. Many viewers missed him completely as he was shown for literally seven seconds.

Captain Planet is sometimes referred to as a superhero. This is incorrect, however, as "superhero" is a jointly-owned trademark of Marvel Comics and D.C. Comics, neither of which are associated with Captain Planet.
