In this classic 1971 origin tale from DC Special #15, Eel O'Brian’s life takes a wild turn when a vat of acid spills on him during a getaway, transforming him into the stretchable, shape-shifting hero known as Plastic Man. With his criminal past suddenly behind him, he sets out to turn his powers toward justice—starting with bringing his former partners to account.

In "The Man Who Can't Be Harmed," a chance act of kindness earns Woozy the strange gift of invulnerability and pain immunity—though he’s not sure what to do with it. After flipping a coin and choosing a life of crime, he teams up with the cunning Eel O'Brian, only to be pulled back by Plas, who brokers a deal: help capture his former partner, and the police will leave him free.
