Mr. Fantastic has the advantage of extreme intelligence and scientific talents, but in terms of "elastic abilities" I don't think he can come close to Plastic Man (see text below): Plastic Man's powers are derived from an accident in which his body was bathed in an unknown industrial chemical mixture that also entered into his bloodstream through a gunshot wound. This caused a body-wide mutagenic process that transformed his physiology. Plastic Man can stretch his limbs and body to superhuman shapes, lengths and sizes, with flexibility and coordination extraordinarily beyond the natural limits of the human body. He can become entirely flat so that he can slip under a door, use his fingers to pick conventional locks, pose as inanimate objects such as vehicles or pieces of furniture, and disguise himself by changing the shape of his face. There is no known limit to how far he can stretch his body. The only limitation he has relates to color, which he cannot change without intense concentration, so he is usually limited to his trademark colour scheme of red, yellow, black and caucasian flesh-coloured. Unlike other elastic heroes such as Mr. Fantastic or the Elongated Man (who retain their human physiology while elastic), Plastic Man appears to have no circulatory system or internal organs; when his body is sliced or broken into pieces, there's no bleeding, and the exposed edges appear to have the same uniform pink color as his skin. He also isn't limited to contiguous, closed shapes. He can open holes through his body (becoming a true toroid or a net, for example) and can even turn into simple machines with real, moving parts (such as a cart with wheels that turn independently of the rest of his body). Having no organic brain, he is not vulnerable to telepathy[2] and naturally he can recover instantly from transformation attacks, e.g. being turned into an animal.[3] Plastic Man's powers also extraordinarily augment his durability. He is able to withstand corrosives, punctures and concussions without sustaining injury (although he can be momentarily stunned). He is resistant to high velocities that would kill an ordinary person, as well as to blasts from energy weapons. On various occasions he has survived being melted down,[4] turned into stone,[5] frozen solid,[6] and shattered into pieces, although some of these attacks do incapacitate him to the extent that he will need reassembling by his teammates. Most notably, in the JLA arc "The Obsidian Age", Plastic Man journeys into the past where he is scattered into separate molecules at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He survives being disembodied like this for 3,000 years before the modern day Justice League reassembles him. While the experience is traumatizing, nearly driving him insane, Plastic Man eventually makes a full recovery and returns to duty just as before, indicating that in addition to everything else, he is also virtually immortal. While he has no real brain, Plastic Man has been able to alter his consciousness. After the events of the Obsidian Age, he decides to retire and spend time with his son. When Batman comes looking for him to help defeat a rogue Martian, Fernus the Burning, he discovers something amazing. Plastic Man's son tells Batman that he went away for a day and came back with no memory of ever being a superhero. Only at the sight of his son posing as Plastic Man with his own shape-shifting abilities is his memory restored. Before gaining his powers, Plastic Man was once a very talented professional thief. Although no longer a criminal, he has insight into their mindset, enabling him to be an effective sleuth.
