In Ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II, the priest Ahk-Ton discovered a fallen meteor, from which he crafted the Orb of Ra. He sent it into the future, calculating for its return as a powerful weapon against the king. When Batman and the Outsiders arrived from the future, Ahk-Ton used the Orb to enslave Metamorpho. Once Metamorpho was freed, Ahk-ton was defeated and taken by Ramses, who intended to slay Ahk-Ton. Apparently this execution was stayed. Ahk-Ton soon resurfaced. This time, he himself had been transformed by exposure to the meteor into the Metamorph. Millennia later, Rex Mason, a soldier for hire, was contracted by Simon Stagg to find the Orb of Ra. When he found it, his cohort, Java, stole it and left Rex in the light of an ancient meteor. This meteor transformed Mason into Metamorpho, the Element Man. Metamorpho was offered membership from the Justice League after they failed to restore his human form. He was a solo act until Lucius Fox was kidnapped in Markovia. Metamorpho is also a member of the Outsiders. He eventually ended up joining the Justice League. Metamorpho has been a part of something great DC stories, and had his own line at one point. Outside of comics, he has been seen in cartoons such as Justice League and Unlimited, and in the Beware the Batman cartoons. I have seen him in the New 52 just yet, but I hope with the inclusion of Element Woman, Metamorpho hopefully shows his face soon. -Doctor Fate
