Ed's Notes: Much like with Firestorm, I think THIS version of the character is just too stupidly over-powered to be any challenge (or fun) to play as a PC.  Where as Firestorm's Dispersal gave him NEAR invulnerability to physical attack, while not affecting his best attack powers, Red's Self-Link Spirit Travel gives him ACTUAL, COMPLETE immunity to physical attacks, while maintaining an attacked power rated at 19.  IMHO, this make a very good NPC, and even then he's a sledge-hammer.


Note: The Who's Who omitted entry  his Dimension Travel power, which was in the JL Sourcebook, but still listed the limitation on it.  I assume that was an error in the Who's Who, and so I've included it here.  The JL Sourcebook miscalculates his initiative as 29/24.  I've listed the correct value here.

Ed's Notes: Much like with Firestorm, I like THIS version of the character much better than the Elemental form. Much like Firestorm, he's just to powerful in his Elemental form to be any challenge as a PC.

Also, the JL Sourcebook (pg. 121) give him the following equipment:

JLA SIGNAL DEVICE [Body: 3, Telepathy: 25] Limitation: Device's Telepathy power represents the range of it's signal

First Appearance: Justice League of America #64 (August, 1968)

Elementals

Following are a list of Earth's Elementals

Firestorm (fire)
Naiad (water)
Red Tornado (air)
Swamp Thing (earth)
