There's something very wrong with Plastic Man!
Patrick "Eel" O'Brien went from streetwise criminal and ne'er-do-well to legit hero when a botched job landed him with incredible, rubber-like powers. Over the years, he's bounced (sometimes quite literally) around the DC Universe as a wise-cracking do-gooder, rubbing elongated elbows with the likes of the Justice League, just doing his best to put his less-than-ideal past behind him. He's even become something of a family man!
But unfortunately, his miraculous stretching powers may have come with a deadly caveat. When Patrick learns that his abilities are undergoing a "rapid depolymerization", he finds himself cracking and breaking rather than stretching and bending. Suddenly, Plastic Man has found himself facing a problem he may not be able to rebound from. With no cure in sight, and a ticking clock rapidly counting down, Patrick must reckon with just how far he'll go to save himself.
