Our world is in peril. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet. She gives five magic rings to five special young people. From Africa, Kwame with the power of earth. From the North America, Wheeler with the power of fire. From the Soviet Union, Linka with the power of wind. From Asia, Gi with the power of water and from South America, Ma-Ti with the power of heart. With the five powers combined they summon earth’s greatest champion – CAPTAIN PLANET!

#Captain Planet #my childhood #I used to watch this at 5:30AM while waiting to see the sunrise #mostly for Linka #I was born and raised in a post-Soviet world #and I thought it was *fascinating* to see a show that just casually treated the existence of the Soviet Union as a *thing*
