Kwame

Kwame is one of the main protagonists of the Captain Planet and the Planeteers series. 
Kwame is the leader of the Planeteers, having been given the power of earth.
He was voiced by Levar Burton, who also portrayed Geordi LaForge in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Kunta Kinte in Roots.
==Biography==
===Backstory===
Before he became a Planeteer, Kwame lived in the savannah in West Africa, spending his time planting trees.
A 16-year-old conservationist from West Africa (presumably Ghana), Kwame is the group's level-headed voice of reason and de facto leader.
===With the Planeteers===
Kwame was Gaia's first recruit, discovering a mysterious ring in the savannah one day. This ring would give him the power of Earth. After four other youths joined the team, Kwame was named the team leader due to his maturity.
In "Kwame's Crisis", he temporarily left the team after noticing that the townspeople didn't care that their town had been polluted by Sly Sludge.
In "Utopia", Kwame spends some time away from the team to watch B-movies. When he wakes up, he and the other Planeteers are in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by Verminous Skumm and Dr. Blight. The other Planeteers are kidnapped and become gang members. So Kwame teams up with Darian, the leader of Utopia, the last unpolluted refuge on the planet.
In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "The Power Is Yours!", Kwame recruits K.O. (heart), Enid (water), Radicles (fire), A Real Magic Skeleton and Brandon (who share the power of wind) to revive the team. Together, the new Planeteers team up to defeat Dr. Blight and Lord Boxman, who have been using a pollution generating machine.
== Abilities ==
Kwame's ring was of the element earth, used to create small, localized earthquakes; move rocks in the earth; cause holes or furrows in the earth for planting; create tiny islands by raising rocks from the shallows of the ocean; and turn mud into solid ground.
