He would say, “the power is yours!” Then he would fly away. Where did he go? Is there like a PlanetCave he just hangs out in and crochets until all the rings get used?

    I don’t think your premise is correct. From memory, and scanning a couple episodes illegally uploaded to YouTube, it doesn’t look like Captain Planet flies away at the end. Usually, the scene just transitions to later after he’s gone, but the few times we see it, he dissolves into light, presumably returning the rings powers to the planeteers and disincorporating. He doesn’t go anywhere, he bodily ceases to be.

    Where does his mind go? I think he’s a spirit. Where does team spirit go after the football game is over and everyone goes to bed? It still exists, but it’s not… here. It has to be activated to be tangible.

    He’s not stupid, he went back to his home planet, cuz Earth is fucked and he knows it.

      I think his home planet is just called “planet”

      He’s not called “Captain Earth”, duh

      Are you saying his theme song is a lie? Because it says he’s going to take pollution down to zero!

        I’ll tell you a little secret.

        99% of all the junk ever made came out of Santa’s bag. If you just shove all that junk back in the bag and destroy the bag, problem solved! 👍

          So what I’m hearing is that we need to throw 99% of our garbage away at the north pole.

            Exactly. And arrest Santa and do away with those pesky elves while we’re at it.

    He boils off like a salted slug, screaming in agony at the upper atmosphere where his teen pals can’t hear him. Eventually, he evaporates and turns into part of the ozone layer. His consciousness completely ceases to subsist, granting him and Gaia one of the few reprieves from their near-constant agony.

    When the Planeteers summon Captain Planet again, the light from each ring forms a 1/5 portion of baby Captain America Planet in Gaia’s photonic uterus. This all takes place in the ultraviolet and ultra-sonic frequencies, but fully experienced by Gaia and Captain Planet. As soon as he begins gestating, Captain Planet achieves full cognisance and all experiences from his past lives from birth to death are forced into his rapidly-expanding brain.

    Once the birthing process is complete, Gaia’s connection to her photonic uterus is severed, leaving her feeling empty and mangled. Gaia gives birth and quickly recovers while rapidly teleporting all over the earth so that bad guys who like to loot and plunder cannot discover and take advantage her monetarily distracted state. Captain Planet then descends into the range of visible and audible frequencies, during which he composes himself as to not frighten the Planeteers.

    Gaia tries to control the altitude at which this summoning takes place since any humans who unwittingly pass through will receive an instant sunburn, likely leading to cancer, and their bones will shatter.

      I hate to ask this from such a dangerous mind, but… but, does Captain Planet have private parts? Front and back?

      If he doesn’t reproduce, he doesn’t need genitals, and he doesn’t need a digestive system if he’s going to dissolve in half an hour.

        He does not have genitalia nor a digestive system. While humans have those and experience things such as hunger, horniness, and diarrhea; Captain Planet just itches inside all those areas. Deep inside. Unreachable. An itchiness that starts off dull and tingling, becomes nagging, and eventually crawling and burning.

    I figured he like dissolved or something back into the constituent powers. But he doesn’t want the kids to see that so he just goes around the corner.

      Now I’m picturing Captain Planet stepping around a corner and having his flesh melt off and his bones dissolve.

      Captain Planet has to go off and use his prostate massager so he can bust so hard he’s reduced to his constituent elements.

      Does he never turn back into energy and flow back into the rings? I always assumed he just does that, but I’m not sure what is actually on those cartoons anymore.

    He went to collide with the edges of the atmosphere. Once he reaches its horizon the solar energy breaks him apart and sends him back to the Planet Zone.

    He didn’t fly away?

    I thought he would break apart and his powers would go back to their component rings.
