The Eco-Villains team-up and, united, steal the Planeteers rings, and with them, their powers. The teens are stranded on the island of Commander Clash, a cold calculating military mind. He is tricked into going after the Planeteers by Blight, and succeeds, capturing Ma-ti and Gi. Without their powers, Planeteers are soon overwhelmed. Elsewhere, Dr. Blight creates dark variants of the power rings, and together, the eco-villains summon a dark, evil version of Captain Planet, dedicated to laying waste [literately] to the earth: CAPTAIN POLLUTION!moreless

    • TRIVIA (3)

      ADD TRIVIA

      • Captain Pollution is voiced by David Coburn.

      • When the Planeteers set out to recover their rings, Wheeler states, "If we HAD our rings, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place," implying that had they not been Planeteers, they wouldn't be constantly placed in harm's way. This is possible forshadowing for the next two-part episode Two Futures, when Wheeler says outright that he doesn't like being a Planeteer.

      • Commander Clash is voiced by veteran actor Lou Gossett, Jr (An Officer and a Gentleman, Iron Eagle).

    • QUOTES (2)

      • (The eco-villains stand in different places to combine their polluted powers) Duke Nukem: Then, let our polluted powers combine! Super Radiation! Looten Plunder: Deforestation! Sly Sludge: Smog! Verminous Skumm: Toxics! Dr. Blight: Hate! (The polluted powers combine and a evil dark version of Captain Planet is summoned) Captain Pollution: By your polluted powers combine, I am Captain Pollution! Eco-Villains: GO POLLUTION!!!

      • [As he contains the burning barge within a storm of stand] Captain Planet: Just take some sand....Unh! Barge, in a bottle! I always did want a hobby.

    • NOTES (7)

      ADD NOTES

      • Goof: When Wheeler wakes up after Skumm and Sludge are gone, we still can see the ring on his finger.

      • Captain Pollution is a play on the "Superman" villain, Bizarro - Superman's evil opposite.

      • The evil rings that are created by Dr. Blight are opposites of the Planeteers' rings. These examples include: 1. Duke Nukem - Super Radiation (counterpart of Fire) 2. Looten Plunder - Deforestation (counterpart of Earth) 3. Sly Sludge - Smog (counterpart of Wind) 4. Verminous Skumm - Toxics (counterpart of Water) 5. Dr. Blight - Hate (counterpart of Heart)

      • Captain Planet's entrance when summoned: His entrance is just like in A Hero For Earth but this time with boots.

      • First mini-series of the series.

      • Eco-Villians: Dr. Blight, Looten Plunder, Sly Sludge, Duke Nuken, and Verminous Skumm.

      • First Appearance of Captain Pollution (also voiced by David Coburn), he would return in season 4's "A Mine is A Terrible Thing to Waste, Parts 1 and 2."
