History
Jan Arrah is the sole surviving member of his race. The peaceful Trommites possessed the power to transform elements due to the radioactive nature of their world. The pirate Roxxas wanted them to use the power for him but they refused and he wiped out the entire race except for the young teen who would become Element Lad. Element Lad joined the Legion and helped them capture Roxxas. Jan spent his time in the Legion in the background it was not until later adventures that he took more of a leader ship role. As one of the Legion Orphans he does not have much of a life outside the team, he does not even have a romantic relationship. At the time of when we are covering Legion history Element Lad is deputy Leader.
His powers make him one of the more powerful members of the team but at times he can be under used. Writer Paul Levitz will make him (and most of the other members) a more fleshed out Character.
