Well the main difference is plastic man’s stretching ability is infinite while Elongated man’s is more finite. Meaning Plastic man can do stuff like form shapes and stretch incredibly long distances. Also Plastic man can form holes in his body, Elongated man can not. The one edge Elongated man has over Plastic man are his detective skills.

And, when a DC editor asked a DC writer to invent the Elongated Man, it was because said editor didn’t know he had the rights to Plastic man-- or, possibly just the name. Ralph Dibney could have been the Plastic Man of Earth 1!

They’re two seperate characters with seperate backgrounds.

I like Plastic Man this much more stretches arms out than Elongated Man, but they’re both cool.

Flash Facts: Jeremy Piven voiced Elongated Man on Justice League Unlimited. Tom “SpongeBob” Kenny voiced Plas on Batman: The Brave and the Bold, while Dana “Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force” Snyder played Plas on Justice League Action.

Little history fact. While DC was waiting on rights, or so the artist thought, he created Ralph Dibney cuz he wanted a stretchy guy. The director of DC said, we have the rights to plastic man, why did u create another stretchy character. He said, well, I guess we have 2 stretchy guys now. Because he already released the comic.

A year later, I will say Elongated man.They are two of my favorite characters but for me personally elongated man is better. I may be the community’s resident #1 Elongated man fan ( as far as I know!).
