Default Elementals (Comico Comics)

The Elementals was an American dark superhero comic book first published in 1984 and created by Bill Willingham, for which he was both writer and artist.
The team consisted of:

* Morningstar, aka Jeanette Crane, a Los Angeles homicide detective who had burned to death while confronting a serial arsonist; she received various fire-related abilities, including pyrokinesis and an immunity to fire.
* Vortex, aka Jeff Murphy, a Coast Guard pilot who was asphyxiated in a helicopter crash; he received various air-related abilities, including flight and wind-blasts.
* Fathom, aka Becky Golden, a flighty debutante who fell off a boat and drowned; she received various water-related abilities, as well as bright green skin and webbed fingers. She was also able to convert her body entirely into sentient water and shoot high-pressure streams.
* Monolith, aka Tommy Czuchra, a brilliant if introverted teenaged boy who was crushed to death by a landslide; he received the ability to become an enormous super-strong stone/earth golem. Later, Monolith was then re-embodied in a deceased insurance salesman (Donald Ridgeway), who neither wanted the power, nor ever understood fully how to use it or how to integrate with the other three Elementals.

It was published by Comico Comics. Comico's publisher Andrew Rev purchased the Elementals property from Willingham in the 1990s.
However recently it has been claimed that intellectual property lawyer Michael Lovitz, who specialises in comic books and entertainment industries, has recently registered a trademark for The Elementals on behalf of Dynamite Characters, the IP company associated with Nick Barrucci and Dynamite Entertainment, for “Comic books; Comics; Graphic novels; Posters; Printed stories in illustrated form; Prints; Art prints; Graphic art prints; Lithographic prints; Printed stories in illustrated form”.
