    Elongated man lost his wife in Identity crisis after his friend the ATom's ex- wife killed Sue Dibny. Elongated Man seemed to have lost his life as she passed away, but showed his colors as he came back from the edge and pushed a team of heroes to find the culpret. Elongated Man then tried to resurrect his wife in a secret ceremony with a strange cult, but realized that he was tarnishing his wifes name and left alone and horrified at what had happened. After seeing all this happen to a hero I once considered a second rate hero I was impressed by the way he kept me into the story and felt sorry for all the suffering he went through.

    I think Mr. Fantastic...I mean Elongated Man...is a great character. He can carry a story. I think Plastic Man....I mean Elongated Man....should get more attention.

    He was originally created because the writers didn't realize DC owned the rights to Plastic Man

    It's not just powers, those three guys have distinctly different personalities. It's not like they're three identical characters.

    You're right, I just violated my own rule. A character's worth is not defined by his power and/or power level. Apologies.

    False. he was named Elongated Man because DC didnt realize that they owned the rights to Plastic Man, he had already been created.

    @Avenging-X-Bolt: Thank you for clarifying a comment I made (probably whilst drinking heavily) four years and seven months ago.
