History WMG / CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers

Because he thought [[{{ACDC}} Rock'N'Roll Wasn't Noise Pollution]].

[[WMG: Captain Planet is the collective soul of all TheSmurfs.]]
Main/TheSmurfs are little blue creatures who live in tune with nature and have strange alchemical and magical properties while being on a first name basis with Mother Nature (though in their show, she looks like a Caucasian grandmother). The Smurfs must have created an [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Aeon]] or [[Main/{{Mons}} Summon Monster]], either ''via'' ritual suicide or from regular dying; rather than going to "Smurf Heaven" (which they don't believe in [[WMG/TheSmurfs because they're communists]]), their souls serve as fuel to power Captain Planet.

[[WMG: Ted Turner is the real CAPTAIIIIIN PLAAAAANET!]]

Pretty much self explanitory as seen hereTed Turner IS...[[http://video.adultswim.com/robot-chicken/ted-turner-saves-earth.html here]]

[[WMG: The Australian has the Lightning ring and was kicked out of the Planeteers...]]
Because he tought [[{{ACDC}} Rock'N'Roll Wasn't Noise Pollution]].

[[WMG: The Heart Ring would've turned Wheeler into a male version of SailorMoon.]]

[[WMG: Verminous Skumm is a Skaven from {{Warhammer}} ]]

[[WMG: The Planeteers are ''{{Scion}}''s.]]

* Another possibility is that Mother Nature designed Smurfs as a form of Bio Weapon in case humanity caused problems (more than we usually do). The rings are simply channels to the Smurfy-energy.

* Oh so Gaia gets killed at some point.

[[WMG:Gaia created the villains.]]

** Wait, '''fire''' is original sin? Okay, that makes some sense ecologically, but... it has unfortunate implications for whoever has the Fire ring. Maybe that's why Wheeler got picked for that one.

Tough to say, but Ares may be bitter at having killed his own planet and is trying to mess up Earth out of spite. If we ever do go to Mars and start making it habitable, Ares will feel Main/ThePowerOfLove and [[Main/ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship]], mending his evil ways when life returns to his dead planet.
* Robert Zubrin is aware of this. If this theory is true, that makes him good. If the theory below is true, that may make him an evil Planeteer.

They were meant to be a secondary team ("The Legion of Substitute Planeteers"?); they were being trained to help the main group, and their necklaces would have been more powerful if Gaia hadn't put so much energy into the rings. Because Gaia was busy helping the main Planeteer team, the KFN were trained in the pocket dimension of Teratopia by her deputies, the Wolf and Snake elders.

Gaia states repeatedly that heart is the most powerful of all the rings, but all anyone else seems to say is that Heart is useless. The reason for this is that Gaia realized that the power of Heart, when used to its fullest potential, had a temptation for abuse so strong that almost nobody could wield it.

Hoggish Greedly used to be a Ghostbuster catching ghosts with the likes of Peter, Egon, Ray, and Winston. It's already clear that, with {{the Real Ghostbusters}} organization, species is not a barrier to entry.

A half-rat mutant who hates humanity, who once stated ("Belfast") that he's familiar with humanity's capacity for hate, and who often uses that hatred for his own plans. He was "born in a sewer" according to the official website. He has to hide his face whenever he goes around the surface. It's easy to imagine him as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, hated by humans his whole life until he felt the need to finally strike back.

[[WMG: Ma-Ti is the [[Warhammer40K God-Emperor of Mankind]]]]
Since he's half-dead, he's not able to use the power of heart, and people became nastier.

Wheeler is clumsy, ditzy and whiny almost as much as Serena/Usagi. Like her, he also had an IJustWantToBeNormal wish granted, but took it back.

Gi- Dr Blight; Gi wants to be a good scientist, and Dr Blight is an evil scientist.

They're both portrayed by {{Whoopi Goldberg}}. We know that Guinan was on Earth during the late 19th century. It isn't a huge stretch of the imagination that she might have either stayed through the 20th century, or returned a century later.

The rings are [[{{Sufficiently Advanced Aliens}} sufficiently-advanced]] El-Aurian [[{{Magic From Technology}} technology]], and their misuse is ultimately responsible for much of the destruction wreaked during the Eugenics Wars.

[[WMG: They're going to make a {{DarkerAndEdgier}} movie sequel]]

This is why it's so hard to find bearers for the Fire Ring. Its bearer is to represent needs that even Gaia herself would rather not consider too closely.

All of the planeteers show an understanding of ecology and the environment. But Wheeler seems to be the only who understands ''humans and their cities'', which are ''part'' of the environment, and a critical part at that. As noted, the part of the ecosystem controlled by humans has a disproportionate influence over the others. But, any suggestions to save the Earth by wiping out humanity (or even human culture) is going to be rejected by most of humanity even if we're doomed either way. (See the remake of ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill.'')

[[WMG: "Gaia" is [[{{Star Trek The Next Generation}} Guinan]]]]

[[WMG: The Ecovillains are running a XanatosGambit]]

[[WMG: The Heart Ring allows for [[KingdomHeartsII team]] [[LimitBreak Limit Breaks]] when used for combat]]

* You mean Ma-ti is [[DeathNote Kira]]? He can control more than minds with his power?

[[WMG: CaptainPlanet takes place in the future of AvatarTheLastAirbender.]]

[[WMG: Captain Planet is [[AvatarTheLastAirbender The Avatar]].]]

* I imagine it would look something like [[http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5876f2aced/don-cheadle-is-captain-planet?rel=player this]].

[[WMG: Gaia and Zarm used to have [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean a thing]]]].
