Captain Planet turned 20 last week. But the birthday party is only just beginning.

Laura Turner Seydel, who chairs the Captain Planet Foundation, just e-blasted her mailing list with the invite for the group’s annual winter bash, which will toast 20 years of Planet.

Check out the artwork with Ted revealing his superhero identity à la Clark Kent:

Pomerance & Associates got a sneak peek at the festivities.

Planet actually shares his birthday with our office superhero — Bonnie (see previous post).  So last week, we attended a private party for Planet’s actual anniversary.

A phantasmagoria of delights, I’ll let the pictures do the talking. But essentially, we’re talking fabulous, as in, gay pride parades could learn from this party.

You may remember Captain Planet’s Planeteers: Five plucky teens each endowed with a power — fire, water, earth, wind and spirit — to combat the evil forces that would destroy our planet. As you can see, fire and water make a fantastic couple.

They looked so good in fact that I had to pose with them:

And also with Earth —

Notice she looks amazingly sexy, and I’ve dribbled my drink on my shirt.

Captain Planet’s creator, Barbara Pyle, who was TBS’ corporate V.P. of environmental policy for 20 years, glammed out as well for the occasion:

 Yes, those boots are turqoise. amazing.

Cameras were all aflutter as the foundation’s chair and president, Laura Turner Seydel and Ira Blumenthal, respectively, took the floor with Captain Planet.
Happy Birthday, Captain Planet! Here’s to the next 20!
