Who is Urania Blackwell?

Urania Blackwell is Element Girl, a female counterpart to Metamorpho who gained the same elemental shape-shifting abilities through exposure to the Orb of Ra, later working alongside Rex Mason and orbiting the world of Simon Stagg.

Urania Blackwell stepped onto the Silver Age stage in 1967, born from the imaginations of Bob Haney and Sal Trapani in the pages of Metamorpho β€” and the company she keeps tells you everything about the world she inhabits: the elemental chaos of Rex Mason, the scheming Simon Stagg, and the unforgettable Element Girl all share her orbit. Over a remarkable fifty-year span she's turned up across Metamorpho, Blackhawk, and the beloved Wednesday Comics anthology, proving she's far more than a footnote in DC's Silver Age tapestry. With only 18 catalog appearances she's a genuine collector's discovery β€” a character whose relative rarity makes each sighting feel like uncovering a hidden gem.
