Captain Planet Rings, In case you missed it


My brother and I had a 25 minute conversation which of Captain Planet's rings of elemental power would be the best to have in the modern, realistic world.

Needless to say, the Ring of Heart would be the most worthless.
Most of our debate was about how practical the Ring of Earth would be. I defended its position saying that it was probably in the top two most useful rings.

Examples of uses:
Creating stairs to climb for getting around obstacles
Fighting crime

Trapping people/animals/things in earthen cages

Creating slopes to go down at fast speeds

Practical and awesome


Greg defended the Ring of Fire as the best citing these uses:

Lighting a campfire

Turning on the stove

Seeing in the dark

Warming up


Albeit useful, I just don't think this is the best use of a Ring of Power. I mean these things are relatively easy to do already. My choice: Ring of Wind
Fighting crime (Greg thinks no one would do this in the real world; I disagree; it would by my first priority)

Blowing pretty girls into me "accidentally"

Blowing out unpleasant smells

Using the wind to help me win sailboat races

Cool down on a hot day

The list goes on and on.
I choose The Ring of Wind or the Ring of Earth
