== About Plastic Man ==
Plastic Man has the ability to stretch and mold his body into any shape desired. He also is very durable and able to regenerate lost body parts.
On the parallel universe of Earth-One, Patrick "Eel" O'Brian was a petty crook. Orphaned at age ten and forced to live on the streets, he fell into a life of crime.
As an adult, he became part of a burglary ring, specializing as a safecracker. During a late-night heist at the Crawford Chemical Works, he and his three fellow gang members were surprised by a night watchman. During the gang's escape, Eel was shot in the shoulder and doused with a large drum of unidentified acid. He escaped to the street, but discovered that his gang had driven off without him. Fleeing on foot and suffering increasing disorientation from the gunshot wound and the exposure to the acid, Eel eventually passed out on the foothills of a mountain near the city. His body now had all of the properties of rubber, allowing him to stretch, bounce and mold himself into any shape.
He immediately determined to use his new abilities on the side of law and order, donning a red, black and yellow (later red and yellow) rubber costume and capturing criminals as Plastic Man.
He concealed his true identity by wearing a pair of white goggles and re-molding his face.
As O'Brian, he maintained his career and connections with the underworld as a means of gathering information on criminal activity.
