[[Metamorpho]] the Element Man is a [[DC Comics]] superhero. Metamorpho was created by writer Bob Haney (''[[Metal Men]]'', ''[[Doom Patrol]]'') and artist Ramona Fradon, and debuted in ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'' #57 in 1965 before getting his own ongoing series.

Some time after that he became a member of [[Justice League International|Justice League Europe]].
