Loyal Ladies Liberate Larcenous Lads

Behind every successful man is a supportive woman. This adage definitely epitomizes the relationships between Rita Desmond and Flora Styles, and their true loves, Albert Desmond (of Earth-One) and John Sargent (of Earth-Two). 

While Desmond and Sargent were both good hearted men, at times they were sadly corrupted by the  abilities  bestowed upon them from when they were infants, enabling them the transmute elements. At times, this led to their mercurial temperament, when operating under their alter egos, Desmond as Mister Element (and later Doctor Alchemy) and Sargent as Sargon.

Sargon was once framed for a crime, which thanks to the tenacity of his stage assistant Flora he was able to  prove his innocence and expose the true convict. Mister Element repeatedly fell prey to his criminal leanings, due to outside manipulations.

While Albert eventually put a definitive end to his supervillain career, John became intoxicated with the thirst for more power. Sadly, by that point, Sargent had migrated to Earth-One where he remained, unlike Desmond who only briefly lived on Earth-Two while with the Crime Champions. Although Sargon like Element regained his sanity and morality, he never reunited with Flora. Meanwhile, John and Rita lived happily ever after.
