Oh, 3, what have they done with you?

Our little rabbit friend has been possessed by the spirit of Brad Metzer.

Why would anyone want to see another Plastic Man than Kyle Baker’s rendition?

I thought that issue of Waid’s JLA run where Eel O’Brien becomes the hero is the highlight of his run. Great issue!

“I though it was a neat bit of psychoanalysis, without being too heavy-handed or violating the core concepts of the character. ”

Yikes, I’d hate to see your “heavy-handed.”

I know you’re joking, but: in his JLA runâ€”especially the “Divided We Fall” arcâ€”Mark Waid added some depth and edge to Plastic Man. Waid suggested that the whole reason Plastic Man is such a clown is because he spent so much of his life as a thug. As Eel O’Brien, he was a hard, violent bastard: Now that he’s gone straight, it’s a relief to be seen as a whimsical goofballâ€”to see people smile when he comes into a room, instead of cringe.

I though it was a neat bit of psychoanalysis, without being too heavy-handed or violating the core concepts of the character.

There’s already a grim and gritty serious Plastic Man. His name is Reed Richards.

Clearly, the best way to turn Eel O’Brien into a grim and gritty figure is to kill Offspring.

Make it so, DC!

Hey! Plastic Man started as the straight man in his book, playing Abbot to Woozy Winksâ€™ Costello! Portraying him as a goofball with a wacky sense of humor is a horrible departure from his character, and I refuse to read another Plastic Man comic until heâ€™s restored to his stiff, boring self!

I’d be cool with that.

Yeah, I like goofy Plastic Man.

Plastic Man should transforming into the shape of a gun with spikes on it, or a demon who eats blood and shoots acid from his eyes and has the courage to talk to girls.

Then he could finally matter.

didn’t Bendis say that he was interested in the idea of a “dark” and “noirish” take on Plastic Man if he ever did any work for DC?

Good news! At the rate DC is going there’ll likely be “plastic man rape-o-rama” action figures in stores by Xmas! Buy the Dr Light toy and collect the whole set!
