The adventures of the original stretchable superhero and various other characters.

In this series, we see the adventures of Plastic Man, a man who was doused with acid which gave him the ability to manipulate his molecular structure to stretch and shape his body to any shape he wants. Now with two regular partners, he battles crime around the world. We also have the adventures of Mighty Man, a tiny superhero who fights crime with help of Yukk, the world's ugliest dog. We also have the adventures of Rickety Rocket, an artificially intelligent ship hand built by an team of African American detectives in a future time.—Kenneth Chisholm <[email protected]>

The series follows the adventures of the superhero Plastic Man/Patrick O'Brian who gained the plastic-like ability to stretch his limbs in an accident. He is joined by his love interest Penny (who he marries in the show's second season) and his Polynesian sidekick Hula-Hula. The trio travel the world on orders by a mysterious female Chief who assigns them with certain missions. Patrick has a sense of humor, so he banters humorously during dangerous situations.—Dimos I
