He was a member of the Justice League of America along with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, ect. some people mistake him with the other DC comic hero of Elongated Man, True Plastic Man was a Quilty Comic hero, but DC bought out Quility Comics and thus got hold of Plastic man, and he has now been part of the DCU.

Plastic man was the starting line up of the saturday morning cartoons on ABC network, late 70's with Schoolhouse rock , you remember..." Conjunction junction whats your function" followed by Richie Rich, then the Superfriends Hall of justice.

I remember this. I'm only 17 though. I loved it and so did my Japanese friend.

Plastic Man was the cartoon that brightened up my summer hols when I was little. I have the whole set on bootleg from the States. Baby Plas was the funniest, altough I was only 7 at the time I watched it every morning on ITV.

I'm in America and I loved this cartoon as a kid.

I've had a pain in the a$$ for the past 45 years! You got any soup for that?

reply

I had the same experience, I seemed to be the only person who remembered Plastic Man!

Plastic Man was a great show. I remembered one time he was a guest hero on the first Super Friends TV series (back when they still had Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog, before Wonder Twins). On that one episode, Plastic Man was barely a flash in the pan. There was this super computer that was going crazy because a mouse had gotten loose inside the computer. Plastic Man showed up so he could stretch his arm inside, snake it around, and find the mouse. Superman guided him by using his X-ray vision. Anyway, Plas saved the day and went home. His screen time was probably less than 4 or 5 minutes.

When he was star of his own show, I thought it was the greatest. I loved all of the imaginative transformations he did and thought the villans were hilarious. I also liked his assistants Penny and Hula-Hula. Penny was the Southern Belle who obviously had a serious crush on Plas and Hula-Hula was the clumsy Hawaiian sidekick who had extraordinary, almost supernatural, Bad Luck. You could tell it heavily borrowed from "Get Smart". The way Plastic Man talked to the Chief and used phrases like "missed by that much", he was definitely imitating Don Adams' Maxwell Smart character.

I would love to see these cartoons on DVD. I don't care so much for the other sequences included in the show (like "Mighty Man and Yukk", "Rickety Rocket" and "Goldie Gold & Action Jack"), I just want the Plastic Man episodes. I'll even take the "Baby Plas" shorts if they have to include them.

Here,dude. I found this on iQuality,the quality on the DVDs is about VHS-level,but really if your a Plas fan like me,you probably won't mind. It's got Baby Plas and Plasticman Family on there too.

Oh,and have you guys seen the episode with "The Weed",as far as I-Know-Shouldn't-Laugh-Because-It's-Just-A-Cartoon names go that one takes the cake. Can you guys think of a worse one? It's especially funny because this was a 70's show.

I remember him. I enjoyed watching the show while growing up in the US. Perhaps the show's humor was not well liked by most Europeans.

reply

Plastic Man was shown worldwide. Me and my family loved watching it. Hope it does get a dvd release at some point. It was a classic!

reply

hehe, I can't believe I almost forgot this show. I remember seeing it on tv years back, partly wondering just who the heck Plasticman was and whether he really was part of the regular cast of heros. It wasn't until a few years back when I started collecting DC comic books that I indeed started seeing plasticman on a regular basis. And he now seems to be back making an appearance in the new Batman Brave and the Bold cartoon. Funny stuff :P
