# Plastic Man #48 Plastic Man faces two separate adventures in this issue. In the first story, "Sea-Killer Crossbones," he battles a villain operating a ship who uses a fiery steam weapon to turn victims into "dish rags"; Plastic Man pursues the criminal across the ocean, ultimately transforming into a shark and defeating the adversary. In the second story, Plastic Man becomes entangled with agents and a woman named La Vista who are being pursued as they attempt to escape across borders with a plane disguised as a cargo ship, leading to a dangerous aerial journey involving matters of international espionage.

Killer Crossbones (introduction, villain)

When the atomic submarine "Stinger Ray" embarks on a crucial test run, Plastic Man and his partner Woozy are assigned as security guards—but they're not alone. The fanatical villain Killer Crossbones, a former Nazi U-boat commander obsessed with stealing America's most advanced underwater craft, has set a deadly trap. As sabotage threatens the sub's mission and danger closes in from all sides, Plastic Man must use his elastic powers in unexpected ways to outmaneuver this ruthless modern-day pirate.
