PLASTIC MAN

Plastic Man is one of those characters that people either love or hate. Sadly, the people who dislike the character only associate him with forced unfunny comedy, which is not what the character was ever really about. Sure, he had some wacky adventures, but he was intended to be a serious FBI agent, with the humor coming from his sidekick Woozy, or from the situations he became entangled in.
So, Plastic Man Lesson #1: Plas is the straight man, not the comic relief.
