Yeah, if you think about it, both Green Lantern and Plastic Man are only limited by their imaginations. And unfortunately their writers aren't very imaginative.
I'll never forget the comic panels of plastic man jamming his hand into a keyhole to unlock it while facing the camera, then flipping off the camera with his middle finger in the form of the key.
@@eudacye709 Incorrect. It is originally from the comic issue Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Four Annual #1. The scene in question was later adapted into the 2021 animated movie Injustice... lmao
The ending gag should have been Superman saying “Hal, half of us can fly. YOU can fly.” And then they find out it’s Plastic Man shaped to look like Hal.
"Yah of course i've been plastic man this entire time, i mean come on, do you really think some ring on a finger would give a human the ability to to imagine anything!?! you guys just told me to imagine anything, which is what green lantern would do...did...because i'm him. always has been. just ignore that one movie that really wanted a sequel with the yellow guy.

This isn't even a meme, this is CANON DC LORE In Batman's contingency plan he says that the only thing holding Plastic Man back is the fact he's a goofball He's pretty much completely unstoppable
he can be frozen or melted but that essentially means locking him up forever and making sure that whatever source of heat/cold remains on forever too since his cells arent actually destroyed by that it just makes him unable to reform
Batman's only official plan is freezing him and hoping that stops him for a while, but with Plastic Man's cellular control and regeneration ability, even that might not stop him long term, since he could probably just move his molecules at faster and faster speeds until he heats himself up and gets free. He's genuinely a terrifying opponent if he takes the fight seriously instead turning into a beach ball or hitting you with a comically oversized mallet-hand.
The reason they gave Plastic Man second, third and fourth chances to redeem himself from being a criminal is because if they didn’t *WHO GON STOP HIM?!*
@@SebastianAlvarado-xf1gu Well, it's cannon. He was a Criminal who batman stopped by accidentally pushing into a weird goo/acid. They let him out, he became a theif, killed some dudes in Prison etc. Eventually he because a goofball league member, but he's intentionally a goofball because it's cannon that they'd fear him otherwise. If he isn't being silly, he knows his friends wouldn't feel completely safe around him. He fought an infected Doomsday nearly single handedly, fought a powered up Martian Manhunter when nobody else could etc. Superman could freeze him, but that's only temporary. He'd always come back.
I’d reckon it wouldn’t be too hard, with Batman’s resources, to build a prison that could contain him indefinitely if it came to that. Simply have Superman freeze him, then transfer him into a prison in Antarctica that is kept completely frozen all the time.
Considering the fact that Plastic Man took on Martian Manhunter, was willing to square up with superman, knocked out flash by stretching his fingers down his windpipe and into his lungs, and walked off being reduced to actual molecules and left at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for centuries ( yes that happened ) it makes sense that not even the Batman can hope to stop him
I mean, they keep saying "Plastic man is invincible" and "he can control his molecular composition in every shape, way and form", but I have it on good authority that a caramel machine has successfully trapped him more times than one. That and complicated knots
See, that is the silver lining. Plastic Man can do almost anything - if he puts his mind to it. Being trapped in a caramel mixer, however, is a mind-boggling experience. If he pushed past his initial fear, he'd shrink into a goofball, solidify hinself a little and launch himself out using the mixer hook like a golf club
In the Aladdin TV show, they had Genie trapped in all sorts of containers by various bad guys. It was the only way they could stop Genie from being overpowered and destroying any enemy. I assume that the same concept was true with Plastic Man.
Fun fact: In batman's own words "The best method i could think of, was freezing him solid." His only solution is to turn plastic man into an ice cube and judging by his wording... He might find a way to even break out of that.
Even then he's only neutralized as long as he's frozen and even then he's gonna plot the whole time like when he was having to reconstruct himself over the course of three millennia
Prometheus beat Plas with a dart where he couldn’t hold his form. Or Batman could ask any stronger Leaguer. Plas got one shot KILLED by a lesser black lantern. He’s been obliterated by magic twice to the point he couldn’t heal on his own. An ‘evil Batman’ (Prometheus) took Plas out with a dart where he couldn’t hold his shape.

I mean to be fair, Mr Fantastic's main thing is the whole 'smartest man on the planet' thing. He has a lot going for him aside from his powers. Quicksilver doesn't quite have that same advantage
Fun fact: Plastic Man's first appearance dates back to 1941. He was part of the Golden Age and debuted just 3 years after Superman and 2 years after Batman. Unfortunately the publisher he was under, Quality Comics, went under in 1956. That's when DC obtained the rights to the character along with other quality comics characters like Quicksilver (different from Marvel and older with another 40s debut) who later became DC's Max Mercury (a member of the Flash Family). It's hilarious because the Elongated Man was only created for DC comics in 1960 because the writer didn't know DC had obtained the rights to Plastic Man. Plastic Man is a beyond iconic Superhero who has inspired and continues to inspire within Superhero media. It's a shame that he isn't globally as popular as Superman and Batman. Even if not a direct inspiration, characters like Mr. Fantastic and Luffy have probably been indirectly influenced by Plastic Man.
Fun fact: he's also public domain, at least under US law! Because, they messed up hard renewing those original comics back when renewing copyrights was a required thing, and that includes his first appearances! And since first appearance being PD means the character is PD...
@@Jotari Pretty similar from what I recall! Tho, if you wanted to differentiate them to avoid trademark, you could make them black or a woman! Call 'em Plas(!) instead of Plastic Man if you do the latter probably.
Well when -God- the writer of this slop (his words not mine) shows up threatening to pull the plug and they stave him off by having her say something... yep, definitely a running gag. 😅
Yes, he was a gang member and worked for Kite Man. Things deviate from there, but I prefer Batman Brave and Bold version where he was disfigured by Batman much like Joker yet saved from jail by Bats actually being at his side and helping him get right back on track.

How do you know we havent? He can turn into literally anyone. He could have been any other character in any other movie ever and you wouldn't have known.
It would have to be animated, live action stretchy powers just don’t look right no matter how well done they are, just look at the Fantastic 4 movies or even Reed’s appearance in Doctor Strange 2 the powers just don’t work in live action
Hal doesn’t have the highest IQ lol. His constructs are like planes and fists. His standard little blast can one shot multiverse enders like Krona. But his constructs are weak in comparison. Which sums up Hal perfectly. Straightforward simple powerhouse.
I Swear that Sooner or Later Heroes that can shrink and Enter your Ass then Destroy in the Inside is gonna become a Reasonable argument for Power Scaling.
Plasticman: I also started watching this one anime and man I got so many ideas Batman: I think I know the one! Gomu Gomu no.... Plasticman: Domain Expansion: McDonalds Bottomless Ballpit
Thing is Plastic Man has so many ways to end anyones life, can stretch to infinity and can regenerate from a molecular level. They’re cooked if he gets serious 😂 Superman drew the line at Plastic Man jaywalking 😭🤣🤣🤣
lol Plastic Man isn’t remotely that strong. Hes helpless when he’s molecules (a mage blasted him apart, he survived as molecules but was powerless/immobile for 3000 years and went crazy). Hes been one shot KILLED by a lantern before. A demon lord (either Satannus or Johnny Blaze) one shot him too and Zariel (the League’s angel) had to take Plas to heaven so he could recover and not die. Buddy doesn’t have infinite stretching or molecular control.
@ I disagree. I’m not saying that he’s the strongest ever nor in general. Also, just to be clear, I’m saying he has feats/attributes that make him a formidable opponent if it ever came down to that. His powers are generally only limited to his imagination and temperament, so he's kind of like a power ring personified. His stretching powers have no known limit and can stretch his body to any length or size without constraint. Plastic Man’s body is capable of stretching far beyond the natural limits of human flexibility. He does have control over his molecular structure and can regenerate but the instance in the 3000 years he was immobilized is about the only thing I can agree with you on in this. I looked into this and haven’t found any evidence that he was ended by a Lantern (though if you know let’s hear it). Also, the closest thing to an “end” was an instance in “Plastic Man No More #1” (September 2024) that depicts Plastic Man slowly melting away due to a Death Ray blast, with no known cure. However, this is not explicitly stated as his end, but rather a gradual disintegration. Plastic Man was not ended by Satanus in DC Comics either. Plastic Man was possessed by Satanus’ mask, which granted him immense power, but also put him under demonic influence (Justice League #25, 2011). The League managed to remove the mask, and Zauriel transported Plastic Man to another dimension before helping the League escape Hell. In “Reign in Hell” #1-8, Satanus, along with his sister Blaze, leads a rebellion against Neron, the ruler of Hell. Plastic Man, as part of a team of superheroes, helps to stop Satanus’ plans and ultimately leads to Neron’s downfall.
The most I know about Plastic Man is that Supergirl once convinced him to turn into a dress so she could wear him to the movies. You’d think plastic wouldn’t be that comfy, but I guess she thought having an infinite wardrobe was worth it.
For those wondering, while that happened in Teen Titans GO to the Movies, that Also happened in the cómics but With Big Barda Except Barda wanted to pummel Plas after realizing she was wearing him
@@ianr.navahuber2195 It's messed up enough for a girl to wear someone as a dress just because they're a shapeshifter. But for said shapeshifter to do that himself, whatever his motivations, is beyond sick.
@@BelMarduksBizarreBazaarhe isn't literally plastic or rubber, just like Mr. Fantastic, hes just stretchy and has finer control over his body and how it stretches.
His body being the way it is means that it is always changing and always improving to better exist in the environment it's in subconsciously. Hence the reason batman said freezing him then smashing him and separating the pieces was only a temporary solution that he had to hope worked. His body would automatically figure out a way to unfreeze itself, it's just a question of when.
The closest thing to Plas from an anime I can think of is Majin Bu (Minus ki and magic) . Luffy Gear 5th has some powers that Plas doesn't have and viceversa.
@Amogus-i6i 1- he could potentially control the microplastics that are in our bodies and violently murder us from within 2- in the same vein he can take himself apart into 69 quintillion pieces of microplastics and invade the entire planet ever microwaved food inside a plastic container? its in your balls
We even have microplastics in our balls. Our sperm are quite literally wearing tiny plastic helmets on their heads. Plastic Man could actually use the forbidden power of cumflation to kill someone.
1:29 Keep in mind that the Madame Rouge from the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon, who possess a weaker version of the comics Plastic Man’s powers, is STILL one of the top 10 or even 5 most dangerous villains in the entire show thanks to how skillfully, effectively and creatively she wields the power she DOES have. It’s like someone threw Plastic Man, Black Widow and the T-1000 into a blender and wound up with a final product that melded all their most dangerous and complimenting characteristics together. She was only bested towards the end of her debut season because she was jumped by multiple combatants at once in the middle of an all-out heroes VS villains brawl (and even THAT was mostly due to the “Conservation of Ninjutsu” trope at play restraining the villains overall effectiveness in the final fight for the sake of storytelling.) Batman’s concerns here have some VERY solid foundations if we’re being fair here.
Although they have similar powers they are not the same. Luffy can only stretch his body using momentum while plastic man can morph his body how ever he wants 🤓🤓🤓
Luffy but better cus everything is rubber he cannot be killed you cut him apart hell rejoin together cant burn him freezing only work for a bit before he breaks out cant drown or suffocate
Plastic Man: "When I was 9, I jaywa-" Superman: "GET THE HELL OUT! GET OOUUUTTTT!! GET OOOUUUUTTTTTTTTT!!! GET OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!"
Plastic Man has my favorite super power of all time. It’s a litmus test to how creative you are. You can earthbend yourself, Luffy’s gears, the animal kingdom, guns and weapons, become construction and agricultural equipment, care taker, massager, surgeon, a malevolent shrine, and recreate the rumbling
If injustice and dark knight metal taught me anything never underestimate Plastic man that man broke into a highly advanced prison on the ocean floor after taking out flash and tricking cyborg
Plastic Man may be the comic relief former criminal of the Justice League, but when you really think about it, Plastic Man's abilities are so OP that we should be thankful that Batman inspired him to be a superhero and use his powers for good in the comics
Plas isn’t that OP when you look at like Superman, Lanterns or Flash. Like he’s strong but… in Blackest Night Green Lantern fights thousands of Black Lanterns at once and wins. Whereas Plastic Man is KILLED in one hit by a single lesser black lantern (not a true BL but someone who got turned by the ring). Like Plas is strong, but when you compare him to guys who shake galaxies he’s not all that. Low key why I feel there should be two justice leagues. One for like the god tier guys and another for the more earth focused heroes.
@@wr5488 Black lanterns represent death itself... he was literally shot by "death." Meanwhile, normally he can LAUGH when superman punches him and could suffocate the entire earth if he wanted to by stretching himself over it and smothering it. The guy is CRAZY OP. You can throw him into a black hole and it's just an inconvenience to the guy.
I think it was only Batman Brave and the Bold Cartoon that had Batman be Plas's inspiration for heroics. In most canons its usually his own decision to be a hero, whether it be a "I can profit from this" or a "let's flip a coin and see if I turn these gang members into the police" type of backstory. In his original 1941 debut Plas just kinda got powers one day and went "oh I guess I'll be a hero okay :)"

Even if not a direct inspiration, characters like Mr. Fantastic and Luffy have probably been indirectly influenced by Plastic Man.
Mr.fantastic is actually directly inspired by plas. Iirc marvel went “hey why don’t we have a stretchy guy?” And made reed
Fun fact: he's also public domain, at least under US law! Because, they messed up hard renewing those original comics back when renewing copyrights was a required thing, and that includes his first appearances! And since first appearance being PD means the character is PD...
I hardly doubt Plastic inspired the idea of body Manipulation/Rubber Body Powers.
@@TitleknownHow similar is the public domain version of him to the modern DC version of him?
@@Jotari Pretty similar from what I recall! Tho, if you wanted to differentiate them to avoid trademark, you could make them black or a woman! Call 'em Plas(!) instead of Plastic Man if you do the latter probably.
Ben Schwartz is so desperate to play him he probably would’ve done the voice for this video.

I do find it funny since in lore that Plastic Man is cannonically a petty criminal who did turn around after getting powers.
I’m pretty sure plastic man’s criminal record is a little bit longer than jaywalking
Yes, he was a gang member and worked for Kite Man. Things deviate from there, but I prefer Batman Brave and Bold version where he was disfigured by Batman much like Joker yet saved from jail by Bats actually being at his side and helping him get right back on track.
"...a little bit longer..."
I got the pun.

Am I the only person who thought of public self fellatio?
Batman: "Wait a minute, weren't you a bankrobber?"
Plastic man: "Well weren't you meant to take responcibility on how you accidentally made me this way? I mean what better way for me to turn a new leaf than being on the same team for you to look after me?"
Superman: "Wait, you knew this guy before he became like this?"
Batman: "Superman it was before we were in any way critical about how people got superpowers, I mean remember the guy that became both of us, because of a goddamn lightning bolt?"
Don’t be absurd! It was a lightning bolt _and_ a bunch of action figures of other heroes that turned him into both Superman and Batman
Plastic man respect the hell out of Bruce because he gave him a chance when no one else did
Nevermind the Shazam thing!

How do you know we havent? He can turn into literally anyone. He could have been any other character in any other movie ever and you wouldn't have known.
@@stigmaoftherose So that would mean... in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie...
It would have to be animated, live action stretchy powers just don’t look right no matter how well done they are, just look at the Fantastic 4 movies or even Reed’s appearance in Doctor Strange 2 the powers just don’t work in live action
I like how Hal doesn't think to make a spring himself
Hal doesn’t have the highest IQ lol. His constructs are like planes and fists.
His standard little blast can one shot multiverse enders like Krona. But his constructs are weak in comparison. Which sums up Hal perfectly. Straightforward simple powerhouse.
2:49 this is exactly how he neutralizes a hostile Flash batting out for a tyrannical Superman. Plastic Nervous System.
I think the thing about him turning into a chair is real too, wondering if there are deliberate references?
"I've seen the simulation!"

Funny how GL needed a "human sized spring" so he goes to get Plastic Man, even though GL can literally make one himself.

Remember kids, we almost had a Bruce Campbell Plastic Man. He could of used his powers to make a million Boomsticks.

Thing is Plastic Man has so many ways to end anyones life, can stretch to infinity and can regenerate from a molecular level. They’re cooked if he gets serious 😂
Superman drew the line at Plastic Man jaywalking 😭🤣🤣🤣
lol Plastic Man isn’t remotely that strong. Hes helpless when he’s molecules (a mage blasted him apart, he survived as molecules but was powerless/immobile for 3000 years and went crazy). Hes been one shot KILLED by a lantern before. A demon lord (either Satannus or Johnny Blaze) one shot him too and Zariel (the League’s angel) had to take Plas to heaven so he could recover and not die.
Buddy doesn’t have infinite stretching or molecular control.
@ I disagree. I’m not saying that he’s the strongest ever nor in general. Also, just to be clear, I’m saying he has feats/attributes that make him a formidable opponent if it ever came down to that. His powers are generally only limited to his imagination and temperament, so he's kind of like a power ring personified. His stretching powers have no known limit and can stretch his body to any length or size without constraint. Plastic Man’s body is capable of stretching far beyond the natural limits of human flexibility. He does have control over his molecular structure and can regenerate but the instance in the 3000 years he was immobilized is about the only thing I can agree with you on in this.
I looked into this and haven’t found any evidence that he was ended by a Lantern (though if you know let’s hear it). Also, the closest thing to an “end” was an instance in “Plastic Man No More #1” (September 2024) that depicts Plastic Man slowly melting away due to a Death Ray blast, with no known cure. However, this is not explicitly stated as his end, but rather a gradual disintegration.
Plastic Man was not ended by Satanus in DC Comics either. Plastic Man was possessed by Satanus’ mask, which granted him immense power, but also put him under demonic influence (Justice League #25, 2011). The League managed to remove the mask, and Zauriel transported Plastic Man to another dimension before helping the League escape Hell. In “Reign in Hell” #1-8, Satanus, along with his sister Blaze, leads a rebellion against Neron, the ruler of Hell. Plastic Man, as part of a team of superheroes, helps to stop Satanus’ plans and ultimately leads to Neron’s downfall.

The most I know about Plastic Man is that Supergirl once convinced him to turn into a dress so she could wear him to the movies.
You’d think plastic wouldn’t be that comfy, but I guess she thought having an infinite wardrobe was worth it.
For those wondering, while that happened in Teen Titans GO to the Movies, that Also happened in the cómics but With Big Barda
Except Barda wanted to pummel Plas after realizing she was wearing him
@@ianr.navahuber2195 It's messed up enough for a girl to wear someone as a dress just because they're a shapeshifter. But for said shapeshifter to do that himself, whatever his motivations, is beyond sick.

Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, and Killer Frost would like to have a word with Batman about his anti-rubber man contingency plans.
plastic and rubber are both flammable as well. it just burns for a long time.
@@BelMarduksBizarreBazaarhe isn't literally plastic or rubber, just like Mr. Fantastic, hes just stretchy and has finer control over his body and how it stretches.
His body being the way it is means that it is always changing and always improving to better exist in the environment it's in subconsciously. Hence the reason batman said freezing him then smashing him and separating the pieces was only a temporary solution that he had to hope worked. His body would automatically figure out a way to unfreeze itself, it's just a question of when.
This is why Gear 5 Luffy is an OP transformation... it's literally Plastic Man but with stamina limitations (for now)
The closest thing to Plas from an anime I can think of is Majin Bu (Minus ki and magic) .
Luffy Gear 5th has some powers that Plas doesn't have and viceversa.

He gets even scarier when you realize that plastic can be found in every organism on the planet
Lookout for Microplastics Man! He doesn't even need to crawl up my bum hole!
Probably he could do the same if micro plastics can be in everyone, why not him?
Can he absorb plastic as well?
@Amogus-i6i 1- he could potentially control the microplastics that are in our bodies and violently murder us from within
2- in the same vein he can take himself apart into 69 quintillion pieces of microplastics and invade the entire planet
ever microwaved food inside a plastic container? its in your balls
We even have microplastics in our balls. Our sperm are quite literally wearing tiny plastic helmets on their heads. Plastic Man could actually use the forbidden power of cumflation to kill someone.

Keep in mind that the Madame Rouge from the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon, who possess a weaker version of the comics Plastic Man’s powers, is STILL one of the top 10 or even 5 most dangerous villains in the entire show thanks to how skillfully, effectively and creatively she wields the power she DOES have. It’s like someone threw Plastic Man, Black Widow and the T-1000 into a blender and wound up with a final product that melded all their most dangerous and complimenting characteristics together. She was only bested towards the end of her debut season because she was jumped by multiple combatants at once in the middle of an all-out heroes VS villains brawl (and even THAT was mostly due to the “Conservation of Ninjutsu” trope at play restraining the villains overall effectiveness in the final fight for the sake of storytelling.)
Batman’s concerns here have some VERY solid foundations if we’re being fair here.
Another villian with similer powers was ink from batman beyond. She was so dangerous that batman needed help every time he faced her.
Keep in mind BATMAN doesn’t have a contingency plan for if he turns evil 💀 he just HOPES he doesn’t
He'll get prep time
Plasticman's only weakness is being frozen and shattered into a million pieces (he can still revive after awhile)
He can literally beat superman
But he dose tho. It literally was the main point of the last arch in the comics
Imagine plastic man entering someone's body and just...growing
I'm pretty sure it was using Capt colds freeze gun or a drug to force plastic man to only one state which is liquid
1:04 This is literally Luffy.
Although they have similar powers they are not the same. Luffy can only stretch his body using momentum while plastic man can morph his body how ever he wants 🤓🤓🤓
Luffy but better cus everything is rubber he cannot be killed you cut him apart hell rejoin together cant burn him freezing only work for a bit before he breaks out cant drown or suffocate
They both like eating sludge 😊
Yes but decades earlier. Like 30 or so years. And he can literally turn into a plane.
He predates lufdy

If injustice and dark knight metal taught me anything never underestimate Plastic man that man broke into a highly advanced prison on the ocean floor after taking out flash and tricking cyborg
He once do the "Ant-Man vs Thanos meme" to get into a prison
The flash’s criminal jaywalking record is punishable by the death penalty.
I just love the trope of silly guys with silly powers but they're actually crazy deadly.
Plastic Man may be the comic relief former criminal of the Justice League, but when you really think about it, Plastic Man's abilities are so OP that we should be thankful that Batman inspired him to be a superhero and use his powers for good in the comics
Plas isn’t that OP when you look at like Superman, Lanterns or Flash. Like he’s strong but… in Blackest Night Green Lantern fights thousands of Black Lanterns at once and wins. Whereas Plastic Man is KILLED in one hit by a single lesser black lantern (not a true BL but someone who got turned by the ring).
Like Plas is strong, but when you compare him to guys who shake galaxies he’s not all that.
Low key why I feel there should be two justice leagues. One for like the god tier guys and another for the more earth focused heroes.
@@wr5488 such as?
@@wr5488 Black lanterns represent death itself... he was literally shot by "death." Meanwhile, normally he can LAUGH when superman punches him and could suffocate the entire earth if he wanted to by stretching himself over it and smothering it. The guy is CRAZY OP. You can throw him into a black hole and it's just an inconvenience to the guy.
I think it was only Batman Brave and the Bold Cartoon that had Batman be Plas's inspiration for heroics. In most canons its usually his own decision to be a hero, whether it be a "I can profit from this" or a "let's flip a coin and see if I turn these gang members into the police" type of backstory. In his original 1941 debut Plas just kinda got powers one day and went "oh I guess I'll be a hero okay :)"
Funnily enough, its not completely out of character for Hal Jordan's dumb, uncreative ass to not realize he could make the spring himself
