Not really no.First Cap P's strength is comparable to Supes. Cap once threw a nuclear power station into the sun. Another time he sent a spaceship flying into space by hitting it with a log. alright that's good there
Plus his durability is even better. Supes is amazingly resiliant but he can be harmed by physical/energy attacks of sufficient strength. Cap can't be hurt by anything except pollution and he's very resistant to that. You need concentrated toxic chemicals, massive levels of radiation etc to harm him. One time he was blasted by Duke Nukem's radiation bolts, sprayed with toxic waste and dumped into a lakeful of the stuff. As soon as he was pulled out and the chemicals washed off he bounced right back.
exactly, he had to be pulled out and sprayed with water.supes is bloodlusted.he'll have killed that planeteers, so now how's planet gonna get out that waste.oh he can't.he LOSESSay Supes punches Cap. He'll go flying backwards, but he won't be hurt. Cap punches Supes, he'll feel it.
Plus he can transmute and control the elements. Basically Supes is up against a combination of himself, Metamorpho and Storm.
Don't get me wrong, I like Superman. But this isn't going to be easy for him. but he's still gonna win
Yes.
No, since A) It's not from Earth and B) it's a pollutant.

Um, you do realise that lakes of toxic waste aren't something you just find lying around? And Supes doesn't carry around barrels of hazardous chemicals on him?
Planet won't need to "get out that waste" because he won't be in it.
Alright. Supes holds him down in a smoke stack and chokes the life out of him.
Another thing people are forgetting here; Captain Planet's powers would do jacksh*t to Superman. Earth? Superman KO's Earth. Water? Water... Wind? Superman sneezed away a galaxy before. I think that trumps whatever hurricane Captain Planet can muster. Fire? Supes sundips and has a tequila sunrise to relax. Fire's no biggie. Heart? What's he gonna do? Sick a pack of armadillos on Superman, or try assault him telepathically? Better psychics have failed. Captain Planet might be a physical match for Superman, and true enough Supes powers might not work on Captain Planet either, but only one of them has a readily exploitable weakness, considering you'd have to scour the Earth for a single fragment of Kryptonite. This whole damn planet is a waste dump. Supes lures Cap over LA, and Cap's ripe for the KO.
This is if you're lookin for a real debate. But in reality, Captain Planet vs Superman? I mean... come on.
It's like... come on.

Remember he's really fast.With that said, I've seen episodes where Cap got weak to a mere garbage dump.
And I've seen episodes where Superman got beat to a pulp by a cop in power armour. Comics, TV series etc often show inconsistancies because it depends on the writer. That's why as a rule we go by a character's 'high' showings.

That was the Pre-Crisis version of Supes. Not the current one.
Cap could slug it out with him in a fist-fight. Zap him with lightning. Turn into liquid nitrogen and freeze him. Turn into air, enter Supes lungs and turn to rock. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if he could drain the solar energy out of Superman and remove his powers.

Beg your pardon, but nonsense. Even today there are numerous areas that are largely unspoiled. Even many urban areas aren't bad. My town for example, has very good air quality.
Areas polluted enough to affect Cap are few and far between.

what strength feats does he have? i havent seen the show in years, and havent read the comics.
Zap him with lightning.
won't work.
Turn into liquid nitrogen and freeze him.
neither will that.
Turn into air, enter Supes lungs and turn to rock.
that's assuming he could do it.

Off the top of my head:
* Threw a nuclear power station into the sun.
* Sent a spaceship flying into space by hitting it with a log.
* Hurled an atom bomb far enough into space that Earth was in no danger from fall-out.

Why not? He's been hurt by electricity before.

There's nothing to assume. Elemental transmutation is one of Cap's powers.

Pardon granted.
So, you either live in Idaho or Canada, right?
Hey, amigo. I know Cap's on Supes' level, but Cap's weakness is so much easier to exploit. Considering a fight between these two would be all over the place, Supes luring Cap to a waste hotspot would be the simplest thing. It doesn't matter how easy/hard it is for the EPA to track these petri-dish places down, Superman doesn't exactly need a network and a plane ticket. He flies around the Earth fifty times in a few seconds, finding the dirtiest, rattiest, sh*thole on Earth, and surfboards Cap at the nearest lake. The one Killer Croc and Blob wash their underwear in.
The thing here is that the scenario is unspecified, so we have to assume boundless battlefield. Cap would need Kryptonite. A single object. All Superman needs to do is find the right battlefield. Much easier.

nice, but i don't know if that's as impressive as supes' higher stuff.
Why not? He's been hurt by electricity before.
how recently? cos ive seen a weakened superman take a city's worth of electricity from livewire without significant damage.
There's nothing to assume. Elemental transmutation is one of Cap's powers.
