A founding member of the Eco-Villains, Dr. Barbara Blight is a brilliant scientist who has pledged to stop at nothing in her quest to take over the planet. Blight believes that the advancement of technology is far more important than the general health of the earth. Blight cares not that her many experiments have brought about ecological devastation. As such, her dangerous endeavors have put her into regular conflict with Captain Planet and the Planteers.
At one point, Dr. Blight experimented on herself as part of an effort to augment her physical being. The operation went awry resulting in the left side of her face becoming horribly scarred (along with the loss of sight in her left eye). To obscure her wounds (and hide the failure of her technological prowess) Blight always maintains her hair in such a way that it fully covers the left side of her face.
Blight created a sophisticated artificial intelligence named Mal that resides within a portable computer that is never far from her person. Blight and Mal are inseparable and ostensively act as husband and wife.
Actresses Meg Ryan and Mary Kay Bergman have provided the voice for the villainess. Dr. Blight first appeared in the fifth episode of the first season of Captain Planet and the Planeteers, airing on October 13th, 1990.
I’m used to watching action cartoons with terrible voice acting so watching Captain Planet is fucking weird. The animation and plots are exactly as stupid as He-Man and Transformers but the voices are Sting and Meg Ryan and Jeff Goldblum and Elizabeth Taylor
