'Young Justice: Outsiders' brings Metamorpho, aka the Element Man, back to life

Metamorpho, aka The Element Man, was actually meant to be a parody of the fantastic, and sometimes downright silly, superhero characters of the '60s

'Young Justice: Outsiders' really has fans on the edge of their seat with a wave of new heroes gracing their screens. DC's strategy seems to be to acquire new audience by popularising the less-popular characters. It is quite amazing that they could achieve this without compromising the integrity of the characters or the show.

Metamorpho, aka The Element Man, aka Rex Mason, was actually meant to be a parody of the fantastic, and sometimes downright silly, superhero characters of the '60s. However, he's one of the few heroes (just like Deadpool in Marvel) to make to the roster of mainstream characters. Metamorpho is also the second superhero to decline an invitation to join our ever-so-subtly egoistic heroes at The Justice League.
