The Beginning
When the earth was in peril, Gaia, the spirit of the earth, sent out five magic rings. Kwame, from Africa, received the power of earth, Wheeler, from the eastern US, received the power of fire, Linka, from Russia, received the power of wind, Gi, from southern Asia, received the power of water, and Ma-ti, from South America, received the power of heart (spirit). When they combine their powers they summon Captain Planet. The group called themselves the planeteers, but they had temporarily gone their separate ways. Gaia knew that the threat from pollution was growing, and a new planeteer was needed. She had to find someone, and give him a new power.
