Elastic powers thread
So should Kamala be counted among the likes of Helen Parr and Plastic man, or is she in a different category all together?
Starting a thread without the greatest elastic of them all. For shame!

My apologies Plas, I'll be sure to remember next time.
He back in DC anyways or just for that Convergence thing?
>>78513272
would help to post pic

>He back in DC anyways or just Convergence?
please explain
>>78513995
Is he in the main DC universe yet, because I remember him showing up for a Convergence comic but that's it. Same with Elongated Man as well.
>>78514129
He is in the main universe but he only appeared literally a coulple of times in Forever Evil, since then the character was never used again. And for Ralph, well there's a guy named Ralph Dibney (yes Dibney) in Secret Six, but is completely different from Elongated Man.
>>78513053
I thought Kamala's power was similar to Apocalypse(stretch,shrink,grow,shapshift)which is slightly different from elasticity?
Is there a recommended reading list for Plastic Man? Really interested in him but don't know where to begin.
>>78514542
it is
>>78514616
I heard the Kyle Baker run is GOAT, but some of his early stuff is recommended as well.
What are your favorite kind of elastic powers?
Plastic Man shapeshifting etc, but can't change colors?
Luffy literal rubber properties, yet interesting applications?
Reed Richards/Elongated Man/Elastigirl just stretching and slightly underwhelming applications?
>>78515278
I always been a fan of how Helen Parr used hers. Yeah her limitations pale in comparison, but how she used a power I thought was rather goofy or boring into something simple and effectiveand sexy. Luffy is a cool twist on the power and I got nothing against someone on Plas' level, just not my thing.
>>78515278
I always tought Luffy could have the same powers of Plas and do the same things like him but Oda didn't know a shit about Plas so he just left Luffy as rubber man.
>>78515429
All of the Parr family's powers are really interestingly and creatively used throughout the film. The movie even manages to make boring old super-strength seem fresh and exciting. Just one more reason why The Incredibles is GOAT.
>>78515608
I doubt that, Oda just looked at hard rubber and decided to differentiate Luffy like so, then make someone like Plas since we already have a him anyways.
>>78513150
>>78515278
Kind of a mix of the latter two, mostly rubber properties but stretchy too? Can be used pretty well/interestingly by a smart user.That's the powerset my OC has.
>>78516721
I remember when a thread tried to make a stretchy heroine called Flexi-Belle. There was two pastebin regarding her origin and info, but I don't have them saved. She was very similar to Helen iirc.
>>78516827
Oh GOD I remember that. That's why I'm surprised this thread's even up still, this topic is so niche.
Someone post all that Reed hates Plastic Man stuff.
Someone say plastic man thread?
>>78517536
Why is Plas dressed as Carmen Sandiego?

Talk about a men's club. Post more gals if you got em.

>>78513150
His son recently showed up in injustice right?
>>78515278
I love Plastic Man powers, literally shape shifting into things. It's usually funny and cool.
>>78518145
Adding some life with this comic by one of /co/'s favorite artists. Seems fitting.
>>78519139
If you can name all of them, then congrats?
>>78519153
Wouldnt be the first time he has drawn something like this.
>>78516142
Still gets me.
>>78515057
Baker's Plas is most definitely GOAT
>>78520485
I remember comixology had the entire run on sale, but learned of it when it was too late.
>>78517800
In about 10 turns that's gonna turn real erotic
>Plastic man is too OP to be an actually interesting character
Y/N?
>>78520726
I feel like thats the case with DC characters, being so damn powerful. But it has been proven that they can be, so i dont see why not. He's not my fav but i dont dislike either; i thought the DC nations shorts were great.
>>78520726
if you make OP characters funny the focus shifts to how the world reacts to an unstoppable asshole comedian and that's interesting to me
Dont let me down, Brad. Dont have her out of the action in the sequel.
Life bump
Bump!
>>78515278
I was always a fan of Plas, since his was the most cartoonist and interesting of the strecthers.
>>78521345
Seems a little tied up at the moment.
>>78514542
Plastic Man does a lot of those things too
Only difference is that Kamala can change color
>>78519153
This only makes me sad cause Dead Rubbermaid.
>>78526676
I think the joke is that all of them are dead and now live together or something.
Does he count as "elastic"?
The hell, what about me?
Forgotten. ;_;
>>78527460
You think that you've got it bad?
>>78520726
>Plastic Man would look disgusting in live action
>>78528019
Probably.

The original Jack Cole is the GOAT, though the Kyle Baker series was great too (I actually liked the fill-ins by Scott Morse more than the Baker issues)
>>78530364
I liked Baker's run, but he got too goddamn noticeably butthurt about Offspring.
>>78528019
If they animated him like the cartoon character that he is, it should all be good.
>>78530158
I believe thats all for this.
>>78531530
Such fluidity, goddamn.
>>78517795
>Big Barda
>That fucking skinny with no muscle
>>78513053
All of Kamala's powers, past and present (shapeshifting, size-changing, stretching, and even healing) are just different uses of the same power. If she's unable to shapeshift into a couch anymore, then she probably can''t stretch as well as she used to either.
If she was ever on the level of Helen Parr or Plastic Man - and even that's doubtful - she isn't now.
>>78513150
>>78517795
>>78539537
>>78535942
It was really stupid how they nerfed her, though. Just having Kamala say something like "she chooses not to change her face out of personal pride" would have been understandable. There was no reason to outright remove the ability.
I can stretch it, I can stretch it like my dangalang, my dangalang can do this too!
Why the hell does anybody think that tying up someone who's elastic is a good idea?
>>78518918
Dude, the storytime is in the catalog right now. Run and enjoy
HE'S MADE OF RUBBER
>>78515677
Incredibles have a primary-theme plot-hole in their opening setup, which directly ties to the resolution
Ruins everything else for me

Does regular Elasti-girl count?
>>78542275
Gotta hold them somehow, work in the comic here.
As amusing as your pic is, cant see Helen pulling that off. I imagine she can only stretch and contort whatever has muscle or something.
I doubt Oda knows anything about DC but I want to believe that what Luffy's doing here is partially inspired by Darkseid's omega beams.

>not a single Plastic Man colored object in sight.
Talk about a wasted opportunity.
