Elongated Man should have more stories that let him show off his detective skills
>>150112234
>>150112234The mystery of how to keep his wife’s legs close.
>>150113306Wrong character Paco
>>150112234does he always do detective work in his costume?
>>150113478His costume stretches, mate.
>>150113501i assumed he has more clothes that do that
>>150113501True, but how? Does DC have pym particles?
>>150112234He's busy being dead
>>150113608Not anymore but I don't blame you for thinking so considering how little DC has used him in recent times
>>150112234>person with stretchy super powers>always pointlessly stretching on the coverYou don't need to stretch your arms and neck out when you're looking at a gun, what the fuck.
>>150113663He might do it subconsciously
>>150113663How else are you supposed to do it?
>>150112234How good of a detective is he?
>>150113663That's like being mad Wolverine and Laura always have their claws out.
>>150116432Fourth best.1)Detective Chimp2)Batman3)Question4)Elongated Man
>>150112234Elongated Man should have more stories in general. Him and Sue are always a highlight whenever they appear in comics I'm reading.
>>150116895They really deserve more than just one mini
>>150116895I'd like that. Not sure if Al Ewing can write mysteries, but I'd like him and Lieber to get another 6 issues of something since Metamorpho wrapped up.
>>150112234we have shit like justice league red with power girl, we should get something with him tooI kinda like him better than plastic man these days...
>>150113318The mystery of how to keep his wife’s legs closed from rapists
>>150112234He shouldn't be a superhero
>>150120203Why not?
>>150112234I like it better when he gets cucked by Plastic Man.
>>150119505>the riddler>dr lightwhy is dc like this?
The only thing people know about him is his petty rivalry with Plastic Man.
>>150112234Read 52.
>>150116587At least he's the JLE's best
>>150113554They're probably infused with Gingold
>>150121009It's trash.
>>150112234Detective Dibny is a good alliteration
>>150116587Who is fifth best?
>>150113478It's a good-looking costume
>>150120706Sonar got that pussy too when he kidnapped her.
>>150113318She's had cannon sex with more super villains than Sue Storm.
>>150113663If you could casually stretch don't act like you wouldn't
>>150120780Don’t forget his ho Sue Dibny
>>150120780I know more about him
>>150112234That would require actual writers
>>150112234They would take too long
How many costumes does he have?
Nobody cares about Ralph. He’s a D-lister for a reason.
>>150124072shame on you.
>>150136580Because DC doesn't do a lot with him
>>150116432You know how Bruce Wayne went all over the place learning shit to become Batman? Ralph and Sue were the ones who taught him detectvie work.
>>150112234>Identity CrisisDC Comics event of 2004, Identity Crisis put the spotlight on many of DC's smaller characters, while it reinvented the Justice League dynamic, but in particular Elongated Man's arc through this book is emotionally powerful and the catalyst for the events throughout the book. It manages to provided touching emotional moments, spectacular fight scenes and a highly satisfying "who done it mystery".>52DC's yearlong event book takes place in a year were Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are absent from the DCU and fittingly focused upon many of DC's less appreciated character. Elongated mans part in the tale picks up from the events Identity Crisis, who through out the story is both driven and broken.
>>150112234Detective work is boring AF that's why every detective show relies on a gimmick. Detective skills in of themselves aren't interesting at all.
>>150138086>highly satisfying "who done it mystery".It was the stupidest twist in comics history.
>>150137696Because Ralph is a comic character and not particularly funny one.
>>150139390He might not be the funniest but he is still a fun character
>>150136506More than one
>>150138086Two terrible comics. Fuck off.
>>150112234The red suit looks better in purple
>>150142155I like this suit the best.
>>150142320I agree it's very unique whereas the red suit looks too similar to Plastic Man's
>>150112234Why does this character even exist if they have Plastic Man?
>>150143710Because they're two different characters whose similarities don't go past the surface level
>>150143783Yeah, but why doesn't one just fall into obscurity?
>>150144374Why should they?
>>150144562Popularity or lack thereof.
>>150142155How does Ralph stretch so far without touching the ground?
>>150145591Their popularity is just tied to how often and how well they're used or in Elongated Man's case how little he's used
>>150144374Because of them are "Literally Who?" and work for different types of stories. Plas is a Wacky dude with a rough past that may include being a deadbeat dad if you aren't Kyle Baker being a little bitch, Ralph is a family man who's in a Nick/Nora relationship with his wife and they solves mysteries and shit between being emotionally tortured and killed by hack mystery writers under orders of a pigshit editor.They're Apples and Oranges. You call in Plastic for CRAAAZY active crime shootings and weird bad guys, you call in Elastic for bizarre mysteries and schmaltzy romance with. You drink bleach if you take this as an invitation to make NTR jokes. Or jokes about turning into a bike they were never funny.
>>150142155It does
>>150142320What about his modern/DCAU suit? It's slightly different
>>150112234He should have more romance stories too
>>150132381Detective Comics can't write detectives?
>>150145928>you call in Elastic for bizarre mysteries and schmaltzy romance with.So you never call them
>>150147660You mean the collar?
>>150151543Yes but it also has a different logo and less white
>>150112234How cool was he?
>>150152701Well he managed to bag a dimepiece like Sue.
>>150153647Awesome.
>>150152701Cool enough to make it to the League
>>150138086Thank you, Grok
>>150112234That would require more stories in general first
>>150145592With the help of Gingold
>>150152701Cooler than now
>>150151140One, Fuck you. Two DC used to love Schmaltzy romance mysteries couples and their removal was a net negative on the company in general.
>>150112234Then he should solve more mysteries!
>>150138086Only two stories?
>>150112234Meh
He should be in more comics like Identity Crisis
>>150163730Your balls are Meh.
>>150113318newfag
>>150116509No, because that happens when they are about to fight.
>>150112234He & his wife briefly popped up in Absolute Flash but that book is taking a while to move ahead with it's plot so they haven't done anything yet
>>150165508Elongated Man's balls are meh too
>>150165791How are they different in the Absolute books?
>>150166147They haven't really done anything yet, they run a youth homeless shelter where Linda Park happens to be staying as well. Not clear yet if Ralph even has powers or anything, they seem like nice enough people though.
>>150159245Breaking news: What was once popular isn’t anymore.
>>150166598If it wasn't popular anymore The Batman wouldn't have put an emphasis on mystery and romance
>>150155187It was copied from newsarama 2009.
>>150166391Good for them
>>150112234But without this stupid costume
>>150167256It wasn’t schmaltzy couple shit. 9/10 people don’t even know who Nick and Nora are
>>150166598See point one.
>>150169491Why would 9/10 people be unaware of the Thin Man by Dashiel Hammet?
>>150169421Good that he has different costumes
>>150112293kek
>>150112234He had a few Detective Comics stories
>>150113663t. fag with no stretchy powers
>>150171330>a fewHe had back-ups in Detective for like 5 years.
>>150171469Maybe a little more than a few
>>150112234I disagree
>>150173554With him having more stories or just them being mysteries?
What would Gingold taste like?
>>150175042Salty milk and coins.
>>150175193Yum
>>150173554I disagree with you
