Elongated Man and Ms. Marvel



I was very glad that Elongated Man not only ended up surviving at the end of the last season of The Flash, but he has been announced as a regular on the show for another year.I have enjoyed Hartley Sawyer's performance in the role and the effects have been decent for a TV budget.  Here's hoping a Sue Dibny (to be) will also be added to the show, so we can see some Nick & Nora-type detective action.

  1. Just so long as they never star in a spin-off set in New Orleans.

  2. @Anon: If they did, they'd be likely to run into Jim Corrigan, whether he's already dead or still alive.

    @Ross: Nice cover! I didn't realize Ms. Marvel could stretch. It'd be fun to see her and Plastic Man guest-star with the Expansion Team.

  3. I've always liked Ralph, as he's the most normal of the super-powered heroes. That is; more down-to-Earth than even Batman, himself, when it comes to siding with the so-called "common" people against the Bad Guys! Of course, I can't stretch like he can. So, when my hometown library recently had a Superhero Friday, I decided to go as Grant "The Chameleon" Stockbridge; Golden Age crime-fighting master of disguise.*

    *Disguised, in this case, as what Sheldon Cooper will look like when _he_ turns fifty-something! ;-D

  4. Huh. Talk about a "DUH" moment right, why didn't I think of this one since they're both prone to stretching. Plus as has already been brought up, Ralph's just the type of guy who'd make an ideal partner since he's so down to earth, light-hearted and approachable. He'd make an excellent trainer.

  5. Is that the SJW/PC version of MS.MARVEL I've been hearing about?

    Since you apparently don't even know who she is, Wolfhammer, I'm guessing that you have not read any stories featuring the new Ms. Marvel. Therefore, what makes you so sure that she's SJW/PC? It's not as if Marvel presents here as the ***MUSLIM SUPERHERO***. I've read a few stories with her in it, and I didn't even know she was Muslim until I read it on the internet.

  7. @Wolfhammer: she's a Muslim-American of Inhuman descent.

  8. Point taken. I'll check out some of her stories.

  9. Wolfhammer, your response is the response of a reasonable gentleman. We need more of that nowadays.

  10. Ms. Marvel and Elasti-Girl of the Doom Patrol would be better match for Elasti-Girl like Ms. Marvel can do more than stretch. Great cover though and never can have enough Ralph.
