10 Things DC Fans Need To Know About Plastic Man

7. Plastic Man’s Other Abilities

On first impressions, it might seem like all that Plastic Man has going for himself is the ability to stretch his body at great lengths. This is not at all the case, however, as Plastic Man has much more going for him than just extreme elasticity.

Other than stretching his body, Plastic Man can, for example, hide in plain sight using his manipulative physicality to blend in as well as impersonate other people - the latter, of which, has seen him impersonating guards and even villains like the Joker. Needless to say, Plastic Man can be pretty cunning when he wants to be.

His powers have also allowed him certain advantages- like being invulnerable to telepathy or mind-control, due to the malleability of his brain. So, really, elasticity is only part of the equation when it comes to Plastic Man’s powers.
