Ferrule posted:I figured it was him through context clues but can he also change color as well? I thought it was a mistake at first as well. He can't change color, but he can use any color in his body (like yellow) and since Sinestro is conveniently yellow, black, and pink, well, it's an easy transformation (though you may notice that his Sinestro has red skin so it's not perfect) TwoPair fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jan 1, 2016 |

I was just about to ask if he'd suddenly become able to change his colors before noticing the skin was the wrong color. I really need to read Plastic Man, it looks like  Cyborg looking at Sinestro to check the mustache is a great touch.Gavok posted:Here you go. And thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Keeshhound posted:Isn't Plastic Man functionally immortal? I can't honestly think of a better use for that than harassing evil superman. Yes. He got atomized once. Like, literally broken down into individual molecules and scattered throughout the cosmos. One of the Justice League b-team members put him back together, and after that he quit being a super hero for awhile. It's worth mentioning that during this Batman very seriously said he considered Plastic Man to be one of, if not the, most powerful members of the Justice League because of this. I'll be damned if I remember what the series was, though.

I think Plas is completely indestructible, completely immune to mental influence, and has his wacky rubber powers. While the BatMetrics may be biased, that's a pretty good toolkit.

He wasn't scattered through the cosmos, though. Just the ocean for a ridiculous amount of time.

Eh, functionally the same thing. I was just a wee lad at the time, and I remember feeling vindicated that even Batman thought my favorite JLA member was pretty powerful. But yeah, he's also possibly agelessly immortal.

Doesn't getting frozen gently caress with his rubbery-ness, or am I mixing him up with Mr. Fantastic? He's gonna end up getting frozen with Supes' super-breath and then shattered, isn't he?  I expect nothing happy out of Injustice.

Batman also considered The Ten Eyed man to be his most dangerous/deadly foe, and the dude literally just had an eyeball on each finger. Maybe he's not the best DBZ scouter around.

Doc Hawkins posted:Not this one I'm sure, but I don't care. That's kind of how it was in the Kelly JLA thing. From what I remember, the League went back in time 3,000 years and had some kind of adventure in Atlantis. They all were killed and then resurrected. All but Plastic Man for some reason. Then they returned to the present and Batman realized that Plas didn't come back because he didn't die in the first place. He can't die. He was just scraps of himself, spread across the ocean floor, completely conscious for 3,000 years. They tracked him down, put him together at HQ and Firestorm was all, "lol I bet he's going to be bouncing around and stuff." Batman's all  and tells him to shut the gently caress up because they're dealing with a being that's pretty drat powerful and probably out of his mind from being alone with only his thoughts for several thousand years.Plas left the team for a while and tried to live a normal life with his estranged son, but Batman brought him back because Martian Manhunter went rogue and was no longer weak to fire. Plas was Batman's ace in the hole on that because he can't be mind-controlled and his morphing powers are superior to J'onn's.

Wait what? J'onns was supposed to be on a molecular level, yeah? Like that was a plot point when he fought Superman, and thus could grow spikes that would actually penetrate him. Yeah yeah, people's power levels and skill sets vary wildly from run to run.

Johnny Aztec posted:Wait what? J'onns was supposed to be on a molecular level, yeah? Like that was a plot point when he fought Superman, and thus could grow spikes that would actually penetrate him. To summarize the arc: Batman puts together a new JLA team, and for some reason that no one can understand, he invites Plastic Man to join. Plastic Man does his goofy cartoon character schtick and generally serves as comic relief. Then the Martian Manhunter goes crazy, turns into a 40 story tall shapeshifting fire demon and tries to destroy the world by mind controlling world leaders into launching nukes. While the rest of the League is chasing ICBMs, Plastic Man turns into a 40 story tall goofy cartoon character and punches J'onn through a building. Batman explains that he brought Plastic Man into the League just so he would have someone who could go toe to toe with the Martian Manhunter, since he's immune to telepathy and he's a more imaginative shapeshifter. Then North Korea gets nuked and we get that one page where flash rescues an entire city's worth of people by running at 180 quintillion times the speed of light or something like that.

I always liked that scene in Morrison's JLA where Circe turns Plas into a pig and it stops him for all of half a page, if that.

I'm one of the weirdos who can't stand Joe Kelly, especially his Deadpool (Duggan/Posehn forever), but I recognize how good his Plastic Man is. Those Injustice scenes are top notch, though, and totally convinced me to pay full price for a comic fr the first time in months (Comixology has tricked me into treating comic like Steam sales).

Shapeshifting when you're not limited by biology is a pretty top-tier superpower. I guess Plas doesn't have any way of getting out of the sun if Supes throws him into it though. It wouldn't kill him, he'd just be stuck.

Kyle Baker's Plastic Man is vulnerable to acetone. It's not his kryptonite, since kryptonite doesn't melt Superman...I guess it's his Dip, like from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

It's actually helped a lot by existing alongside New 52 because as dark and messed up as it can be at times, the underlying point is, "This is NOT how it should be!" Kind of like Plastic Man's rant. New 52 never had that self-awareness.
