I always felt bad for the kid who got the shaft by getting the lousy heart ring.

While it wasn't as flashy as the others, long range communication, and the ability to mess with someone's head are not to be underestimated. It was fairly useless on its own, but a powerful force multiplier on the others.

You have a point, but he mostly sat in the back and didn't do much in my memory.

I also always wondered where Captain Planet went when he left. Like was there some Captain Planet bachelor pad where he hot tubs and reads the paper?

I think he just didn’t exist when he “left”. Their rings don’t summon him from another place, they form him. When the mission is over, he ceases to be. There was an episode where the fire guy goes back in time and prevents himself from getting his ring and creates an alternate timeline where Captain Planet never existed at all, because the other planeteers can’t “cast” him without fire.

Similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis?

Where does a flame go when it is extinguished?

This is now the deepest Captain Planet lore I know. Thank you.
