Captain Planet is probably the worst superhero that has ever been conceived in the history of superhero conceptions. Why? First of all, he wore a bikini. What else would you call a two piece that covers the upper torso and the pelvic area? He was a man who wore a goddamn bikini.
And while he may have had some respectable superpowers, he also had the most retarded weakness: things that are icky. You mean to tell me mother nature's avatar breaks out into spasms in the presence of toxic fumes? Sure, for a human, that's understandable; but he's supposed to nature's champion, for Christ's sake. And what the hell is up with his weakness to petroleum? Why does he become weakened when he touches that shit? I'm not even talking about pouring it into his mouth or anything—just splashing a bit of the stuff on him. Is petroleum not a naturally occurring substance? Does he not like it for its ickyness? Goddamn metrosexual.
Also, Ma-ti sucks. He just does.
