Element Girl is asuperheroine appearing inAmerican comic books published byDC Comics. The character first appeared inMetamorpho #10 (February 1967), written byBob Haney and drawn bySal Trapani.[1] Element Girl's death was featured inNeil Gaiman'sSandman series in issue #20, "Façade".[2] A similar character namedElement Woman appeared during the events ofFlashpoint and later appearing inThe New 52 as part of the Justice League. Both characters are similar in design to Metamorpho and have the same powers.
Urania "Rainie" Blackwell is initially a spy for the United States government. While infiltrating the crime syndicate Cyclops, Blackwell replicates the incident that gave Metamorpho his powers and becomes an entity similar to him dubbed Element Girl.[2]
Element Girl works with Metamorpho to destroy Cyclops, but is unable to return to her normal life. Her powers render her unable to die normally, so she contactsRa and has him remove them so that she can die.[2][3]
Element Girl appears in the non-canonWednesday Comics, written by Neil Gaiman.[4] She returns in the 2024 seriesMetamorpho: The Element Man, part of theDC All In initiative.[5]
