Don Porkaloin Greedly is Hoggish Greedly's grandfather. He was voiced by the late Edward Asner.
History[]
His first appearance was in Hog Tide during the '40s, where he and Betty Blight, the grandmother of Babs Blight, both nearly destroyed a Florida beach with an irresponsible hotel building that is way too close to the shores. Their plans were foiled, thanks to Captain Planet and five kids who represented the present-day Planeteers: Wally (Kwame), Nico (Wheeler), Lydia (Linka), Li (Gi), and Asi (Ma-Ti).
It is also revealed in Ghost of Porkaloin Past that Porkaloin had reformed and became an environmentalist (it has not been revealed whatever became of Betty Blight). Porkaloin hopes that Hoggish Greedly would do the same as well, but he was also proven wrong. After deeming Greedly's irresponsible and untrustworthy ways, he decided not to leave him the estate before his death. Instead, all his land will be given to the green conservancy in dedication of Captain Planet and the present-day Planeteers.
Appearance[]
Don Porkaloin appears almost identical to Greedly, the only real differences being his thin, black moustache and voice. He wears a dark, khaki-colored suit with a green shirt and red and white-patterned tie. Porkaloin has the same mohawk-style hair and piggish proportions as his grandson does in the present-day. However, in Ghost of Porkaloin Past right after Porkaloin stopped overconsuming, he also has lost some weight.
Personality[]
Originally, Porkaloin has the attitude of an infamous crime boss. Now, he is a responsible and trustworthy man who always thinks about others than himself.
Powers and Abilities[]
Like his grandson, Don Porkaloin shares the same physical characteristics as Greedly (including large size and perpetual appetite). He can access to vast wealth, as well as resources. In the present-day, he now possesses extensive expertise in ecology.
Sidekick[]
Rex Rigger I is Rigger's grandfather who works for him as his loyal friend and partner-in-crime.
