Air Elementor, also known as X579 Omega Class Bio-Parasitic Subjugation Warrior Ultralink, was one of the Elementors and one of Max Steel's enemies introduced on Season 1. Alongside his Ultralink brothers, Air was one of Makino's emissaries on the first Ultralink invasion. However, after their leader's death at tha hands of Max Steel, he now works for the highest bidder such as Mortum and Terrorax. Thanks to the latter, Air and his brothers are introduced to the Nexus. Air Elementor debuted in Elements of Surprise Part One and was voiced by Andrew Francis. 

History

Early Life

Sixteen years prior to the series' events, Air was one of Makino's soldiers present at the first Ultralink invasion. He fought against N-Tek's forces, though he was eventually defeated by Jim McGrath and Steel's combined efforts.

Season 1

Elements of Surprise Part One

At the mountains, Air Elementor meets with Miles Dread, who gives him the location of N-Tek's mountain base, in which Earth, Fire and Water Elementors were in. He notes that Miles had proven useful and he advises Air that the base was well fortified, though the Ultralink does not care, stating that he "was counting on it". He then leaves.

Air heads to the N-Tek base and is met by a large army led by Commander Forge Ferrus. Elementor uses his wind-based powers and easily overpowers N-Tek and Max Steel, though he is eventually knocked down by a shot of the Turbo Blaster at his orb. He is then taken to N-Tek's prison level, where he is reunited with his brothers. He reveals that to them that he purposely wanted to be captured and shows the stasis inhibitor, which would allow them to escape. After doing so, he tells them his intentions of unleashing the Ultralinks contained at the N-Tek storage. They attempt to get in through brute force, which ends up activating the security system of the facility. Earth tells Air to use his inhibitor again, though he rebuffs, stating that the device was built for for stasis containment fields, not energy ones. He ignores it and activates it, causing them to fuse into a giant creature known as Ultimate Elementor. They hurt Kat, who went to the prison level and found them. After hearing her scream, the N-Tek team heads to her location and meet Elementor, who roars at them.

Elements of Surprise Part Two

After merging into one creature, Air forcibly tries to unleash the Ultralinks, but fails to do so. He wreaks havoc on the base and escape, taking Forge along with him. He heads back to Dread's hideout and reveals that he had captured Ferrus. After scanning Forge with his robotic bugs, Miles obtains the location of an unknown component and gives it to Elementor.

While heading to the location, Ultimate Elementor's arm suddenly turns into fire, surprising him. He continously switches from an Elementor to another, who were panicking after realizing that they had merged. Air is shown to be surprised, as he thought that they had died during the fusion process. They attempt to take control of the body once again and continously bash against the rocks nearby. Air tries to reason with them and tries to prove their might by fighting against Max Steel, who had been watching them fight from afar. The Elementors' combined powers easily overpower Max Steel, proving Air's point. The hero is ultimately saved by C.Y.T.R.O. and Air decides to leave so they could go after the component.

Elementor heads to Copper Canyon's water dam and starts bashing it until they find the component. Max Steel intervenes and Air uses his powers to control the weather and the lightning, granting them advantage on the battle. After Max unlocks Turbo Speed Mode, Air tries to freeze him with ice, but it ultimately backfires as he is frozen by his powers and neutralized. However, Air quickly recovers by using Fire's powers and escape.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: Air is shown to be one of the strongest Elementors. This was proven in Elements of Surprise Part One, as he was easily able to rival Max Steel's power with ease.
• Superhuman Durability: As shown in Elements of Surprise Part One, Air was able to endure various N-Tek weaponry, such as Vortex Interceptors and blast waves, and was able to return to fight without considerable damage.
• Superhuman Speed: Elementor's control over the air allows him to travel fastly from one place to another by turning himself into a large hurricane.
• Aerokinesis: His most notable power is his control over the wind. With this power, he is able to create small hurricanes, air blasts and turn himself into a hurricane. He can also change the composition of air at the point that no aerodynamic designs can stay airborne, such as N-Tek jets and their missile pods ability to fly straight much less remain aloft.
  • Flight: Thanks to his control over the wind, he can fly.
• Immunity to T.U.R.B.O. Energy: Since he is made out of air, he cannot be hit by T.U.R.B.O. Energy projectiles, nor anything solid.
• Enhanced Intelligence: Air is one of the smarter Elementors. His intelligence is proven in Elements of Surprise Part One, where he was intentionally allowed N-Tek capture him so he could reunite with his brothers and free them with his stasis inhibitor.
• Unlimited Stamina: Air can fight during long periods without needing to rest.
• Terror Energy Generation: In Turbo-Warriors, Air is charged with Terrorax's Terror Energy and his body starts to generate large quantities of said energy. This power enhances his physical capabilities, making him stronger, faster and grant more stamina for combat. Air also often uses his Terror energy to mix with his air-based powers to create explosive projectiles.

Abilities

• Leadership skills: He is an exceptional leader.

Arsenal

• Stasis Inhibitor: Air's orb is infused with a device known as stasis inhibitor, designed specifically for stasis containment fields. Elementor used it to deactivate the shields from N-Tek's prison level and free his brothers.

Weaknessess

• Energy Core: Air has an energy orb on his forehead, which is is weak spot. If hit with enough power, he will faint.
• Blast Waves Vulnerability: As seen in Elements of Surprise Part One, Air is vulnerable by blast waves, as he was disoriented for a few seconds after being hit by multiple missiles.
• Vortex Interceptors: As seen in Elements of Surprise Part One, Air is vulnerable to N-Tek's vortex interceptors.

Appearance

Air Elementor has a muscular build and a hunched over posture. He has curved protrusions extending upwards on the top of his head and cheeks, a red orb on his forehead, shining white eyes, sharp teeth and an elongated chin. His torso has a mist coming from it and his body is constantly moving like a hurricane. He has three fingers and two toes.

After the timeskip, Air's design remains mostly the same, albeit the white coloring for his upper body and grey for his forearm, hands and lower limbs. After being charged with Terror Energy, Air's body gained a darker shade of grey and has light pink sparks around it.

Personality

Arrogant, vicious and cruel, Air initially acted as the leader of the Elementors before Metallak's arrival. He is shown to be much more level-headed and sensible than his brothers, often acting as the voice of reason between them. In Elements of Surprise Part One for example, he tried to convince them that their combined might could overpower Max Steel while they were panicking about their new merged state.
