Element Lad represented from two different periods of his life. On the left as he first appeared as Mystery Lad, in his pink and white uniform with a stylized question mark on this chest. And on the right, years older in his green and black uniform.

Legion of Super-Heroes vol 3 #2 by #PaulLevitz, #KeithGiffen, Larry Mahlstedt, and Gene D'Angelo.

A team of villains defeats Wildfire and Dawnstar in M-17W. Same with Lightning Lad, SaturnGirl, and ElementLad in Earth's orbit. Bad days for the Legion.
