    Origin

    The Elementals exact origins are unknown, other than they hail from another Universe, cast from there and traveling to appearing on Earth circa 3500 BC. Zephyr, Magnum, Hydron and Hellfire all possessing great elemental powers would establish themselves as gods with their own kingdoms in what would become modern day Egypt. Each possessed the total command over the elements. Hellfire the leader of the quartet possessed control of fire and flame. Magnum possessed the power over the earth. Zephyr possessed the power to manipulate and control wind and the air. Hydron possessed the ability to manipulate water. The four powerful god like beings were effectively immortal, as well as possessing the power to open dimensional portals. Some time in the past a warrior named Dann and a wizard named Garrett created the Ruby Scarab to cast out the Elementals, remove their powers and temporary banish them from Earth. In this dimensional prison they would bide their time reshaping the dimension into what they would call the Palace of the Gods.

    Film

    Spider-Man: Far From Home

    The Elementals appear in the twenty-third installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Far From Home. In the MCU, however, the Elementals are not addressed by their appropriate names. Instead, the Elementals are loosely based off from lesser-known Spider-Man villains with elemental based super powers:

    The Elementals were a fabrication of augmented holograms created by Mysterio and a team of ex-Stark Industries employees who weren't given any recognition in the past from Tony Stark as part of a revenge scheme to steal E.D.I.T.H. from Spider-Man and to make Mysterio a hero worthy to be Stark's successor after his death. Mysterio falsely addressed the Elementals as monstrous creatures from his "parallel universe" of Earth-833 who arrived on Earth-616 after the use of the Infinity Gauntlet snapped a tare in the multiverse. The Elementals attacked Mexican village and two weeks later they began to attack Venice, Italy. The fabricated threat forced Nick Fury and Maria Hill, who were secretly Talos and Soren of the Skrulls, to recruit Spider-Man, who was on vacation with his high school peers and classmates, to team-up with Mysterio during the crisis.

    It was eventually revealed in Prague, Czech Republic by MJ and Peter that the Elementals were holograms when MJ showed Peter evidence that he was Spider-Man when presenting a projector drone had webbing on it during his fight with the Fire Elemental.

    The Elementals were sent to London, England to kill Peter's friends and classmates who knew the truth about Mysterio. The Elementals were soon revealed to the public when Spider-Man defeated Mysterio and reclaimed E.D.I.T.H.
