7. Elongated Man
Elongated Man started out life as Ralph Dibny. As a child, Ralph had what could be construed as an unhealthy obsession with circus contortionists. After speaking with several body-benders, they told him that they regularly drank a popular soda called "Gingold." Ralph set to work learning chemistry and developed a super-concentrated extract of the rare "gingo" fruit of the Yucatan, which gave him super-elasticity. In his first appearance, the Elongated Man is suspected of being behind several crimes, and is investigated by his fellow list alumni The Flash - but the Elongated Man helps capture the criminals, who reveal they used a helicopter to frame him.
