From The Soviet Union,<ref>then former Soviet Union, then just Eastern Europe</ref> Linka, with the power of Wind. From Asia, Gi, with the power of Water... and from South America, Ma-Ti with the power of [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|Heart]]. With the five powers combined they summon Earth's greatest champion, Captain Planet.''"|[[Opening Narration]] <ref>Guess Australia is just left out, then. Also Antarctica. And Western Europe, if you want to get technical.</ref>}}
