Greedly was never stopped from going back in time himself, so global warming is now much worse thanks to his decades' worth of polluting. His past self agrees and flees, but then Wheeler is confronted by Gaia, who tells him that he changed history in more ways than he thought. Going 360 days back in time to New York, Wheeler catches the Fire ring meant for himself and warns him to refuse it since it's fatal. Wheeler gives the date and location, but is reluctant to actually go until Blight pushes him through the pool. Blight offers to let him stop their imprisonment by having him go back in time and undo that. Blight when he could be celebrating a New Year's Eve party, Wheeler admits that this is one of those times he regrets becoming a Planeteer. Bitter about being trapped in a carbon-dioxide-filled chamber with Dr. Cap is weakened by radiation and must depart, and the others can't see an easy way to get through the blockade. The Planeteers track down their cave in Greenland, and though Captain Planet slows down Greedly and Rigger, Wheeler's pursuit of them near the pool separates him from the others when a sound-wave machine causes an ice-fall. Blight's time pool to travel back to the 1950s where he can profit through development as much as he pleases without having to worry about environmental policies. What they don't know is that Blight uses her machine to create evil versions of the rings - Super-Radiation, Deforestation, Smog, Toxins, and Hate - and merge them to create Captain Pollution, who they plan to send out before Plunder's army to attack the Planeteers. Without their rings and without his listening to their pleas to help them get off the island they're stranded on, the Planeteers have to figure out a way to outwit Clash. Blight contacts Commander Clash, posing as a soldier claiming that the Planeteers are his enemy's spies. Before they can take the Planeteers prisoner as well, though, they find the "deserted" island actually has a soldier's radar-station on it, and he orders them to leave.
Sludge and Skumm send a fake distress-call from an island, then shoot sleeping-gas over the Geocruiser so it crash-lands and they can steal the Planeteers' rings. Blight, Verminous Skumm, Duke Nukem, and Sly Sludge team up to defeat the Planeteers by getting powers similar to the ones they have from their rings. Once there, they need help, so join their powers, which brings them a strong superhero who can transform to anything natural and whose sole weakness is too much direct pollution: Captain Planet. The newly-appointed Planeteers learn of these powers at Hope Island before setting out to do battle with Greedly. And Ma-Ti, a Kayapo-Spaniard animal-lover, is given the Power of Heart to bring out kindness in others and communicate mentally with any human or animal. Linka, a Soviet bird-lover, is given the Power of Wind to create twisters and move objects. Wheeler, a wild but compassionate American, is given the Power of Fire to create flame and control dangerous blazes. Gi, a Malaysian with an affinity for sea life, is given the Power of Water to control any source of it nearby. She sends a quintet of rings out to five youths around the world - Kwame, an African who tries to preserve plants, is given the Power of Earth to create mountains and earthquakes. The Spirit of Earth, Gaia, is woken from a century-long sleep at Hope Island to discover that Earth is dying because of humans' carelessness in deforestation, pollution, over-hunting, and especially now by oil-driller Hoggish Greedly and his henchman Rigger, who threaten all life on a sea coast with their work.
