For those who don't know,
Elastic lad = Jimmy Olsen
Plastic Man = 'Eel' O'Brien
Elongated Man = Ralph Dibney
Mr. Fantastic = Reed Richards
The Shape (I don't know his secret ID)
The Shape appeared in Marvel's take off on the Justice League: Squadron Supreme. I think he was supposed to have been an experiment in making permeable membranes more permable, to enable him to breath underwater. It made his tissues TOO permeable and allowed him to stretch, alas, at the expense of the loss of some of his intellect as his brain membranes were also affected. The Shape is now a nice but rather simple- minded super hero.

I did forget the Incredibles' Elastic Girl, not to be confused with the Doom Patrol's Rita (Elasti-girl) Farr; who can only grow and shrink; not stretch. Didn't mean to be sexist with this question, I only noticed that most of the stretchable heroes were guys.

Comic book fans have often speculated as to the bedroom prowess of super heroes, and the ribald potential of the stretchable heroes is enormous. (Consider their names as indications of erection etc., and, of course, they are nearly all male.) Thanks to all who participated.
