In the series, each of five Planeteers are given a ring which allows them to temporarily control one of the four classical elements—Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water—as well as the fifth element of Heart. When spoken out loud in a specific order and followed by the group&#8217;s cheer &#8220;GO <span class="caps">PLANET</span>!&#8221;, Captain Planet would appear from flashes of lightnings and sounds of thunders.</p> <h2>About</h2> <p>&#8220;Summoning Captain Planet&#8221; is a popular pastime on online <span class="caps">BBS</span>/imageboards like 4chan, Something Awful, and most recently GameFAQS. The routine is adopted from the intro theme song of the popular 90s cartoon <em>Captain Planet and the Planeteers</em>.</p> <h2>Example / Usage</h2> <blockquote>A typical summoning goes like this:<br /> <br /> Poster A: <span class="caps">EARTH</span>!<br /> Poster B: <span class="caps">FIRE</span>!<br /> Poster C: <span class="caps">WIND</span>!<br /> Poster D: <span class="caps">WATER</span>!<br /> Poster E: <span class="caps">HEART</span>!<br /> <br /> Poster F: By your powers combined..I AM <span class="caps">CAPTAIN</span> <span class="caps">PLANET</span>! </blockquote> <h2>Usage of C-C-<span class="caps">COMBO</span> <span class="caps">BREAKER</span></h2> <blockquote>It is also very common for users to break the &#8220;Captain Planet&#8221; chain by posting &#8220;C-C-C-<span class="caps">COMBO</span> <span class="caps">BREAKER</span>!&#8221; amidst the buildup.<br /> <br /> Poster A: Earth!<br /> Poster B: <span class="caps">FIRE</span>!<br /> Poster C: <span class="caps">WIND</span>!<br /> <br /> Poster D: C-C-C-C-<span class="caps">COMBO</span> <span class="caps">BRRRREAKER</span>!!!! </blockquote> 2009-11-06T21:19:49Z 707 26 http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/707/original/captain_planet.jpg?1250803615
