Captain Planet and the Planeteers first aired in 1990 and ran through the mid 1990s, following five teenagers given element rings to fight pollution. Linka, the Planeteer from the Soviet Union, held the Wind ring, while the others controlled Earth, Fire, Water and Heart. When danger grew too large they combined their powers and shouted their elements in sequence to summon Captain Planet himself. Clips of those calls later circulated on soundboards and in nostalgia edits, where the single word cue is instantly recognisable to viewers who grew up with the series.
