The criminal known as Eel O'Brian is with his gang of underlings, and after he breaks into and attempts to rob the Cole Chemical, the police arrive on the scene. While Eel and the others flee, he is shot by a cop and is exposed to a unknown acid. He manages to make it outside, but stumbles down unconscious with the pain. When he awakens, Eel finds that his flesh is now elastic, and he has no control over it, taking strange and frightful forms. He scares everyone in his way: cops, drunks, and even his own gang, who were considering him already dead, and shot him at first glimpse of his new form. Eel goes to a bridge to commit suicide, but he is stopped by Woozy Winks, a former asylum inmate. Together, they decide to use O'Brian new-found powers to fight the crime. After expose a circus outfit to the same acid which gave the powers to O'Brian, he and Woozy thwart the attempted robbery of his former gang. When the press begins to interview him, Eel says he intends to call himself Elastic Man, which a reporter misunderstood as Plastic Man.
