Description:
The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show is an animated television series that aired from 1979 to 1981, centered on the flexible DC Comics superhero. The show featured humorous crime-fighting adventures and was an anthology that included several other cartoon segments.
Premise: The show follows the adventures of Plastic Man (secret identity Eel O'Brian), a former petty crook who gained the ability to stretch and mold his body into any shape after being doused in a chemical accident. He reformed and decided to use his powers for good, working for a covert government agency.

Characters: Plastic Man was joined by his glamorous girlfriend Penny and his bumbling Polynesian sidekick Hula-Hula (a character derived from the comic's Woozy Winks). In the second season, Penny and Plastic Man married and had a son, Baby Plas, who also had stretching powers and featured in his own lighter adventures.
