Plastic Man [Patrick "Eel" O'Brian]Woozy WinksChief BrannerProfessor Spindrift (villain, introduction)Mr. Garoogy (villain, introduction)

When Professor Spindrift's mechanical body—a towering steel creation that transforms its pilot into a powerhouse—falls into the hands of Mr. Garoogy, the crime boss sees a fortune in the making: an army of unstoppable machine-men to terrorize the city. Plastic Man and Woozy Winks catch wind of the scheme and race to stop the professor before his invention becomes the underworld's ultimate weapon. It's a high-octane clash between the master of malleability and a villain who's literally built himself into something stronger than steel.
