Element Lad
Element Lad
Born on the planet Trom, and like everyone else on his homeworld, Element Lad (Jan Arrah) can use mental energy to alter atomic structure, and thus can transmute one element into any other. Element Lad becomes a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes after the residents of his world are killed by space pirates (Adv No. 307, Apr 1963: "The Secret Power of the Mystery Super-Hero!").
Element Lad appears on June 13, 1963 in order to use his super powers to turn an ordinary steel table into a silver pedestal. This pedestal is for Superman's collection of six silver figurines which are presented to him by Jimmy Olsen as a gift for Superman's Silver Anniversary of arriving in Metropolis and becoming its and the Earth's greatest champion (SPJO No. 70, Jul 1963: "The Secret of Silver Kryptonite!").
