History[]
Origin[]
Element Lad aka Jan Arrah was born and raised on the planet Trom. Due to high levels of radiation on the planet, populations clustered within a small valley were born with the power to transmutate an element to another. After amassing a large amount of wealth, the Trommites abandoned the pursuit of wealth and pursued spirituality and philantropy. When they refused Roxxas the Butcher's request, he slaughtered the entire race. Or so he thought. Arrah was the lone survivor and was given sanctuary by the Legion of Superheroes.
As the sixth member, Arrah took the name Mystery Lad until Roxxas was captured. Only Saturn Girl was privy to Mystery Lad's true identity. Afterwards, he took on the codename Element Lad.
