Ennis Janhson, better known as Animal Lad, is a metahuman with the power to alter biological matter. He can change animals into humans and vice versa.
History
He was rejected alongside two others who couldn't even make it onto the team after it was usurped by Vorm, the evil Dynamo Boy.
Unlike other rejected members, he did not wish malice or to create his own team. Ennis returned to the world he loved and took up a career in animal husbandry. He now works as the Central Director for Endangered Species Control, trying to save some of the dying species of Earth.
