Justice League Movie: 10 Alternate Heroes We'd Love To See
6. Plastic Man
Plastic Man is a bit ridiculous, and would definitely need a bit of a modern day revamp, but he is one of DC's earliest characters, going all the way back to 1941. He also adds a bit of humor and fun that's been missing from the DCCU, so if Snyder is looking for some comedic relief, this would be a great place to find it. The alter ego of Patrick O'Brien, he is a former crook turned superhero after being doused with chemicals during a failed robbery. The chemical entered his bloodstream through a gunshot wound, and caused radical physical changes, giving him the properties of rubber. Plastic Man can stretch, bounce, and mold himself into any shape. He also has the power to change his body density, alter his size, and regenerate lost and damaged tissue. He also doesn't seem to age, and has powers of agility and super strength. Needless to say, it's unlikely but if it ever did happen, Plastic Man would be a fun addition to the team and would come with some powers that none of the other heroes could utilize. He would definitely add some new and interesting elements to the action scenes, all while cracking jokes, hitting on the women in the team, and constantly being tempted by his criminal instincts.
