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.

• "1987:" At the Turner HQ, Ted Turner hears about Pan-Global dumping sludge into the Atlantic Ocean, which enrages Turner so much that he dresses up as Captain Planet and goes about the streets on a lunatic crusade against injustice shouting "Captain Planet!" He kicks down a man who discards a cup into a regular bin instead of recycling it, before ziplining to Pan-Global HQ, where executives are already planning on dumping more sludge into the Grand Canyon. Ted holds one of them out of the window to force him into signing a document that they'll stop dumping sludge. He then drops the guy anyway, who falls into a recycling dumpster. He then ends the skit with a PSA-like announcement that he will kill you if don't protect the environment.
  • The next segment called "Best Robot Chicken Ever," has Hal Sparks proclaim the biggest catchphrase of the new millennium will be shouting "Captain Planet!" before doing something lurid, like kicking people in the testicles, like Hal Sparks and his friends do.
