Elements of Destruction is a video game developed by Frozen Codebase and Black Lantern Studios for Windows, Nintendo DS and Xbox 360.

Plot

Dr. Edgar Herbert was a top research scientist with a keen yet unbalanced intellect who worked for the AIC for years, until his employer tried to kill him by dropping him in the Atlantic, far from civilization. Washing up on an island, he discovered an old nuclear testing facility on it and repurposes an experimental device once used to energize weather control satellites, allowing him to turn himself into living energy capable of manipulating the elements. Using his newfound powers, the doctor swears revenge on the company.
