Plastic Man is a goofy showman, lech, and jokester. Elastic Man is a serious guy and he's very serious.

They should definitely be a buddy cop-style superhero teamup, that sounds like the perfect personality combo.

Plastic Man also has the more extensive powerset than EM. EM has a powerset that's a bit more like Reed Richards, but maybe just a little less dynamic. Plastic Man more resembles Rubber Band Man from the Static Shock cartoons in that he can alter his appearance and form (but not his color scheme or texture) to just about anything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmGXN92wBiY

The depictions as to the extent of their abilities do vary, but at peak depictions, EM never got all that much further than Plastic Man while Plastic Man rivaled most A-listers in how durable he was to the point of near invincibility due to his extremely ductile nature and the ability to regenerate, invulnerable to telepathy, and possibly immortal. His only weaknesses are certain chemicals and extreme temperatures which affect him like how one would affect silly putty.

Plastic Man suffered a lot from power creep. At some point in the 90s or 00s, he was depicted as nigh invulnerable and could regenerate among other tricks. He could even reassemble himself if torn to pieces and didn't seem to age. His most recent appearance was under super secure lock and key under Batman's watch as a sort of secret weapon


The nature of this incarceration hasn't been revealed.

I think when he was torn to pieces and scattered, it took him like two thousand years to reassemble himself, which, fair enough.

Isn't Plastic Man also completely insane, or am I thinking of someone else?

He wasn't actively reassembling himself, the Justice League had to do it, if I'm remembering right. Hearing him talk about having an itch on his nose for a thousand years really bugged me.

It was kind of insulting to his sister and his family, that Barry asked her to marry him under false pretenses and not for love. He was offended and protecting his sister from the immediate emotional manipulation.

I guess that's why I don't agree with it. They love each other, it would have happened anyway (as per future newspaper), and per running logic as of that episode, it would have likely aided in saving her life. All that got dismissed over some some family honor bullshit he shouldn't have that much of a stake in, given he's sorta a late addition.

Guy A. Person
May 23, 2003

I thought the point was that it wouldn't change anything because it doesn't directly apply to the scenario?? It's like if he told her to wear a different sweater that day, it maybe "changes the future" but not in a helpful way at all.

I don't know, things are confusing. At least in the next episode, they clarify why the time wraith didn't tear Barry a new one after his flashpoint antics.

Katee Sackhoff will be a recurring villain next season. She'll play Amunet Black aka Blacksmith. In the comics she's a meta with the ability to reshape metal and on the show she'll be running a black market for metas.
