Yea plastic man seems op but high tiers neg him. He's not even the most powerful stretcher in dc universe that title belongs to elasti girl aka Rita farr
Fun fact: before the petrochemical product, "plastic" meant "malleable." That would make putty, chewing gum, and tree resin "plastic." That's how the name applies to Plastic Man.
Yup. The opposite of elastic-a plastic substance retains its form after its shape is altered by applied force. Elastic substances regain their original shape after force ceases to be applied.
@@TheUnderscore_ Same with psychology, nueroplasticity relates to how the brain will reroute itself based on informations you deem as more important as opposed to those that aren’t or are less frequented.
Plastic Man in certain situations is OP but as Rob from Comics Explain hilariously said “all you have to do is leave a refrigerator door open to stop plastic man”
@@omgitzthunderlol4598 I'm curious, would extreme temperature work? I don't mean like fire, but hypothetically if one to throw him to the sun, is the effect impermanent? If so, that's super overpowered. The only other methods I can think off, without using some esoteric metaphysical comic book shenanigans, are black holes.
@@ashendude3394 i could make a major mistake but i think he can get used to those temps and then just come back ( this might be false ) what i do know is that he was broken into pieces and thown all across an ocean and still came back alive ( after 3000 years ) and he was fine like nothing happened
Plas is the GOAT. Bro was broken down into 10000 pieces and scattered throughout the Atlantic Ocean, and after 3000 years he finally got enough of himself back together to just… be fine. In DCeased he made himself into a molten moat of blood, and the only way they stopped him was burning him with hell fire. And it didn’t even kill him, just stopped him long enough for the heroes to get away.
he’s so sick, and honestly when people say to throw him in the sun to kill him i always say, so how do they throw him without him latching onto them and entering their brain through their nose insantly killing them. Even if superman tried to speed blitz him and throw him, as soon as he touches him plas would latch on around him and kill him.
@@nickfrison9716 let’s go over some shit people just seem to look over when they say Plas ain’t shit: He has absolute molecular control over his body. He doesn’t just stretch, he can increase or decrease his mass infinitely. In injustice, he made his body smaller than water molecules in order to get through a fucking water tight seal, then used himself to hold back the fucking Mariana trenches pressures from entering a broken window. He can transform himself into mechanic items like rocket with working boosters that is able to exit earth velocity and travel in space, with people inside. He survived being at the center of a nuclear bomb, which means even with his weaknesses to extreme heat and cold, and theoretically destroying his cells being the only way to kill him, not even the heat of a nuke and the vaporizing capabilities of it were enough to stop him for very long. There’s a reason in injustice when Superman and his crew were afraid of absolutely NO ONE they all were afraid when Plas showed up. It’s why Batman has a contingency plan for everyone in the league, but his best idea to stop Plas if he ever went scorched earth is somehow freeze him long enough to have Superman throw him in the phantom zone and just pray it holds him long enough to figure out a better solution. When Martian man hunter lost his weakness to fire and became fernus and beat the entire justice league and was ready to destroy earth, who did Batman beg to come back to help and single handedly stopped him? That’s right, Plas. The GOAT.
@chrisdanks741 plastic man did almost die from heat vision even begged Diana for help before it was to late. I can't imagine what superman heat vision would do to him. He's op but overrated. Now if we are talking about the most powerful stretcher in fiction that's Rita Farr
Plus plus!!! He sold a ton of comics in the 40's, 50's, 60's when all(most) the heros disappeared he still sold books. Underrated Saturday morning cartoon too
Superman could just fly plastic man into the sun the moment he latches on to the man of tomorrow. It'd happen so fast plastic man would be unaware of what happened.
People often forget how mind-breakingly busted Superman is supposed to be. He's supposed to be able to think at the speed of an advanced supercomputer, which is one of the reasons he can handle the less-broken speedsters, and some versions can punch holes in spacetime.
Yeah, ever character has strokes where the writer wants to prove how strong they are. And they often weigh them against superman to show how bad*ss they are. But there is a reason that superman is the benchmark. Nobody has more busted feats, no character has had writer push the limits as much. Superman would destroy plasticman by all logic unless the writer wanted to prove how badass plastic man is
@@SerafiFaasuamalie-rr9wk ik what you're gettn at my bruva but he didn't say "my" before ninja, it did sound like he said my ninja but it was jus ninja. I had to pause n rewind twice to listen again 😭😂
Yeah the same as plas (with the difference that plas is only able to use it on himself) Plas can only be killed trough ridiculously strong magic and Existence erasure (and stuff that is on the same level as it)
technically he doesn't have control over the atomic structure of his body. It's just a puppet he put together to give people something to look at and not his actual body
This is pedantic but Dr Manhattan is kinda ingrained into the fabric of the universe so he can control matter in its entirety. I feel like that puts him in his own niche? Idk
the naming of "plastic" in plastic man probablt isnt actually from the material "plastic" used to just mean something that is moldable, and that is his power, he mold himself to be many things
I admit... you can say a lot of the insane ploits of Batman, Contingency Plans, or how OP other heroes and villains may be... but Plastic Man... does rules even apply to him?!
wait, does that theoretically mean that Plastic Man can turn to anyone he wants, including having the abilities of said person, and being as powerful as he wants, if he had the knowledge of the molecular structure of the people? I remembered reading in a comic book that he pretended to struggle holding onto a shape just to make it more fun, so he nerfs himself?
The sentry also had the power to control every molecule in his body I think. That’s how he overpowered the molecule man. I believe he said something to the spirit of “no one has more control over my atoms than me” when molecule man tried to destroy him
@@Atalas5 Depending on the description, his cellular structure is described as a bio-organic polymer, similar to how Colossus is described as being made of organic osmium steel.
Great content, mate. Like your short videos 👌 I've got a question: So what's stopping an - for example - injustice Superman to hurl Platic Man into the sun or space?
@@chrisdanks741Wrapping around him wouldn't do anything, he doesn't need to breathe. He'd just fly into space and wash off the bits of Plastic Man in the nearest sun.
Plot. But also, Superman _could_ have done it, he just didn't get the opportunity. He and Plastic Man never came to a direct confrontation, and Plastic Man did go into hiding after releasing his son.
Honestly man , plastic man is an amazing hero I just don't want to be on his bad side. It's literally shown what he can do a flashpoint and not only that but also Dceased.
I never cared about ninja until I learned he was a Dan fan, genuinely probably my favourite content creator atm you always inspire me to read more comics, and great suggestions too.
I love that panel what plastic man is hiding from Batman and he keeps finding him and when things about it the only reason we can give as readers is well it is Batman make sense 😂😂
Metamorpho and the Martian Manhunter are the same terrifying power sets. And Rex was scared when Eel broke into Superman's prison to rescue his son in Injustice. And Clark called upon TWO Lanterns AND Wonder Woman to back him up to stop Plas.
I don't understand how people think this guy is stronger than a guy that can *PUNCH HOLES IN REALITY* and *LIFT INFINITE WEIGHT.* Plastic Man is strong, sure, yeah, there's no doubt about that, but he ISN'T STRONGER THAN SUPERMAN. People are just super dumb when it comes to writing Superman 99% percent of the time.
Yeah, like, what could plastic man even do to him. Plus plastic man's main weakness is extreme temperature shift. Superman has both heat vision and freeze breath. Even an underpowered version of Superman could beat him
Plastic Man is named Plastic Man because he has a lot of plasticity, not because of plastic. I feel like he would have been named by a scientist, because only a scientific minded person would have said plastic instead of stretchy, rubbery, or shape changing.
Says he could stop Superman. Says the only way to stop him is to throw him into the sun... which Superman could do at any point. Look, I like Plastic Man just as much as the next guy, but we don't need to make shit up just to make him seem cool.
Plastic Man with his chest and legs completely covered might be the most plain looking superhero costume ever. I know Daredevil is all one color too, but it just looks weird on Plastic Man.
It would just temporarily neutralized himnnot permenant. I mean plastic man literally survive against the black lantern corp stealing his own heart (literally)
Plastic man has no contingency planned for him (i think) think about it, even Superman has a contingency plan, but plastic man doesn't have one that goes to show that he cannot be killed (unless you put him into a black hole or into a star)
Bro oh my god PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE do an Animal Man video!!!! He’s such an awesome character and so unbelievably OP and not enough people know about him. Easily DC’s most criminally underrated character
Plastic man is dangerous but he’s not even close to as dangerous as people pretend. He can easily be incapacitated. Sure killing him is almost impossible. He’s not as big of a threat as any of the actual heavy hitters. Hell j’onn currently tops him.
Yo isn't that the guy from the still very popular meme that was called what if he had a low taper fade? 😮😮 No wayyy that really is the still very popular meme low taper fade
