Elementary’s powers are shown to be affected by his emotions, rapidly shifting between elements and combining with other components around him, such as water from the sprinkler system, so Peter Parker enlists the help of the villainous Hydro-Man. While helping her, Hydro-Man and Elementary accidentally combine, causing their minds to merge and allowing them to read each other’s minds and thoughts.. This causes Hydro-Man to be impressed by Juliet Marcos’ turbulent emotional state, but this newfound ability could be a potential asset for when Juliet teams up with other element-based heroes like Johnny Storm.
Peter Parker points out how Elementary’s powers are similar to those of the Fantastic Four, as she is able to burst into flames, stretch herself with water, become invisible with air, and grow rock-like skin when she transforms into Earth. Johnny Storm is able to help Elementary control her powers the best she can out of all her mentors and even suggests that her powers could be magic-based since she is not inhuman or mutant. Johnny Storm’s ability to help Elementary with her powers shows how he is the perfect mentor to train her to become a superhero.and even more so how their combined powers could update the Fantastic Four’s roster.

Elementary’s four-in-one abilities make her a powerful new hero to fight alongside Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, and with Johnny Storm and The Thing training her, there’s potential for them to combine their abilities in unique ways. The Spectacular Spider-Men breathes new life into elemental-based powers, showing how Elemental can combine with other elemental heroes to exchange information, making her an incredibly useful ally. Marvel is building Elementary to be the next generation Element hero, aligning his powers with those of The Fantastic Fourmaking possible partnerships with The Human Torch and Spider-Man highly anticipated.
