Legion Lore
Element Lad
Jan Arrah was born on the planet Trom and like all Trommites, he has the ability to change one element into another (ie Oxygen in Lead, Carbon into Plutonium, Mercury into Nitrogen, etc). When he was teenager, all Trommites (and they were a smallish population and didn't travel off planet much) were slaughtered, all but Jan. Jan came to the Legion and it's been his only home and family since.
He was Deputy Leader of the team for a few terms and served two terms at Leader himself. He also had a relationship with the laison from the Science Police Shvaughn Erin (though it was revealed years later that Shvaughn was actually born Sean, a male and took the drug ProFem to become female in order to have a relationship with Element Lad. The story was kinda awkward but at the time, the early 90s, it was revolutionary and well done for then. Especially when Jan didn't reject her and continued to date her even after she lost her supply of ProFem and reverted to Sean.)
