Plastic Man is a superhero whose unique completely malleable body chemistry allows him to stretch to great lengths and contort himself into any position imaginable. Originally a criminal nicknamed "Eel" O'Brian, an accident in a chemical factory gave him his ability and he reformed to fight against crime. Woozy Winks is his bumbling best friend and sidekick. Despite being one of the most powerful entities on the planet because of the limitless nature of his powers, he has a care-free and humorous attitude towards life, leading many to not take him seriously. He has been a member of the Justice League, the All-Star Squadron and the Freedom Fighters.

Plastic Man was created by Jack Cole for Quality Comics, first appearing in Police Comics #1 (1941).
