Elementals

The Elementals are spirits of the four main elements. These spirits are not evil; in fact, they must perform good acts so they can gain true souls. They are summoned into the world by Sandor Fane, aka the Overlord. He gives them human hosts to inhabit and tells them that the SuperFriends were their enemies. He also gave them their costumes, apparently not knowing their powers very well.

Background Information
Gotham socialite, Sandor Fane had shown a manuscript to four individuals he had secretly chosen to be the hosts of the elements. He believed that he would be able to use this manuscript; which had been written by the legendary alchemist Paracelsus, to summon the four primal elementals and bind them to his victims, making them the unwilling hosts:

The elemental spirits (Gnome, Undine, Sylph and Salamander) now shared the bodies of the four humans.


 * Grant Arden was inhabited by the Gnome was really Grant Arden.  Grant is a chemical engineer and founder of Arden Chemicals.
 * Jeannine Gale was inhabited by the Sylph. She is actually the famous vocalist.
 * Crystal Marr was inhabited by the Undine. Crystal is a best-selling author.
 * Ginger O'Shea was inhabited by the Salamander. Ginger is an established fashion designer and the owner of the Chez O'Shea fashion boutique.

The Elementals first appear inside four giant translucent jewels located in four different cities: a ruby appeared near the Gotham City Police Department's central station, an emerald appeared atop Metropolis' Galaxy Communications Building, a diamond appeared outside New York City's United Nations building, and a sapphire appeared on a beach near the Aquacave, Aquaman's headquarters.

They are soon subdued by Aquaman, Superman Batman, Wonder Woman, with the help of Robin, the Wonder Twins and Gleek. The spirits and their human hosts soon come to an understanding, and become four new heroes pledged to assist the League in their fight against Sandor Fane (whom the League previously knew only as the world conquering Overlord.)

Ginger O'Shea designs new costumes for them using special new materials created by Grant Arden, which work better with their powers (two of the costumes made out of "air" and "water").
