Captain Planet is an avatar made from Earth's elements, and the title character in the Captain Planet and the Planeteers animated television series. He is voiced by David Coburn.

Captain Planet is summoned by the teen environmentalists, the Planeteers, when a situation has become too much for them to deal with by themselves, usually caused by an Eco-Villain. When this moment arrives, the Planeteers use the combined power of their elemental rings to bring Captain Planet forth to deal with it in a classic superhero-type way, with some environmental message once he is finished.
