Elemental HEROes
Elemental HEROes are the trademark of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX main protagonist, Jaden Yuki, as well as being the supporting cards for the Destiny HEROes belonging to Aster Phoenix (Edo Phoenix in Japanese). Elemental HERO decks rely heavily on Fusion Summon, so as to gain the power to control the situation, as the basic Elemental HEROes are weak on their own. Many (if not all) Elemental HEROes also have their own specialized support cards that have been released in later booster packs. Some of which in recent releases have been Elemental HERO Stratos (CT07), Elemental HERO Ocean (Re-print, CT07) and Elemental HERO Ice Edge (STOR). There is supposedly a new OCG exclusive Field Spell Card that is unconfirmed to be released, "Elemental Sanctuary". Some Elemental HERO Fusion Monsters, mostly those that state Elemental HERO Neos and a Neo-Spacian as Fusion Material Monsters, conduct "Contact Fusion" instead of the normal Fusion Summon. A Contact Fusion does not require any Fusion or Polymerization Spell Card, it is instead conducted by returning the Fusion Material Monsters back to the Deck.
Several well-known Elemental HEROes monsters are the basic Clayman, Sparkman, Burstinatrix (Burst Lady), Bubbleman, Avian (Featherman), Neos, Bladedge (Edgeman), Stratos (Airman), Necroshade, Prisma, and Wildheart (Wildman), and the Fusion Monsters Flame Wingman, Shining Flare Wingman, Tempest, Magma Neos, Chaos Neos, Glow Neos, Storm Neos, Neos Wiseman, Marine Neos, Mariner (Sailorman), Plasma Vice, Dark Bright, Mudball Man, Thunder Giant, Rampart Blaster (Rampart Gunner), Electrum, Wildedge, and Divine Neos (God Neos). In the manga, Jaden mainly uses a different set of Elemental HEROes, including Woodsman, Stratos, and Ocean, and his key card Terra Firma (The Earth), given to him by Koyo Hibiki. Similar to Neos, Terra Firma can gain additional forms by sacrificing another Elemental HERO on the field, and after absorbing another Elemental HERO, he becomes Terra Firma Magma.
In addition, there exist "Evil HEROes", dark counterparts of certain Elemental HEROes that gain additional effects, which are more destructive, such as Evil HERO Inferno Wing (Flame Wingman's counterpart) and Evil HERO Lightning Golem (Thunder Giant's counterpart).

Famous quotes containing the words elemental and/or heroes:
“The hawk is aerial brother of the wave which he sails over and surveys, those his perfect air-inflated wings answering to the elemental unfledged pinions of the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“On the whole, my respect for my fellow-men, except as one may outweigh a million, is not being increased these days.... Such do not know that like the seed is the fruit, and that, in the moral world, when good seed is planted, good fruit is inevitable, and does not depend on our watering and cultivating; that when you plant, or bury, a hero in his field, a crop of heroes is sure to spring up. This is a seed of such force and vitality, that it does not ask our leave to germinate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
