A few minutes later, "Fire Hydrant" has transformed into a funny guy in a red leotard and black sunglasses, standing in front of the heroes of the coffee shop.

"Your faithful 'Eel' Patrick O'Brien, a new member of the Justice League, Plastic Man, is officially reported!"

"Plastic. Person? Was it a new teammate? Carla was a little surprised.

No wonder Shen You was not surprised that he was squatting on the side. But is this guy really a teammate? Compared to other alliance members, I feel inexplicably obscene.

Although Shen You didn't pay attention to the personnel changes in the alliance, he recognized this guy at a glance.

Plastic man, the ability is the body to expand and contract at will. The basic performance is almost like Mr. Fantastic led by the Fantastic Four next door, and they all belong to those who have the ability of rubber fruits. But the difference is that the physical toughness of the plastic man can almost make him physically immune.

And after further development and learning, he learned the ability to transform himself into any appearance by stretching and deforming. At first, he could only become a man of his own size, but later he could become a woman of different body sizes, and then he could even imitate his voice, and even become an animal if he became more skilled, and now he can even become a dead thing like a fire hydrant

Plasticman was not originally a DC Comics character, but was acquired into DC in 1956 during the general collapse of comic book companies. Compared to the rest of the Justice League, it is closer to the traditional funny character painting style, including the exaggerated expression of his shape-shifting ability, which is quite similar to that of an earlier predecessor named Tom

The plastic man's neck stretched out, and his head flew directly to Kara's side, and he said with a smile: "Hey~ I'm a rubber man." You want to. Do you know my secret identity? ”

Carla thought for a moment, "Patrick O'Brien? ”

"Ah,!" The plastic man looked like he had bitten his tongue, "Why does everyone know?" ”

Carla was speechless for a while: "Because. You've just exposed your home? ”

"Huh? Do I have one? Ahaha, it looks like I'm going to have to cross it out of my superhero speech."

Kara looked at the man with a more suspicious expression. Can this kind of person really be our new teammate?

"To be correct, the plastic man is not yet a member of the Justice League."

An icy voice sounded, and Batman appeared silently and said unceremoniously.

"What?"

The plastic man's chin slammed to the ground, his mouth wide open enough to drive into a roadster — the literal kind.

"But you said I could."

"I said if you pass the test, you can do it. We've got shapeshifters, and you'll have to prove that you can handle the task on your own. Batman said coldly, "Just from being able to get close to the Justice League quietly." ”

"And I did! I'm done with the test! The plastic man yelled, "I turned into a fire hydrant and managed to get close to the Justice League!" ”

Batman looked at him silently.

The plastic man wilted suddenly: "Okay. I did it. So for a moment. ”

"It's just because the people who noticed you before Supergirl didn't speak."

Batman said, glaring at Superman angrily.

"I said, you can't release water."

Superman was a little afraid to look at him, but still argued: "I think you're a little too strict with him." I've seen the information about the plastic man, he has been trying to save people with his abilities, and he deserves a chance."

"'Eel' O'Brien was a criminal, a thief, before he gained superpowers." Batman said coldly, "He got his superpower in a criminal accident. ”

The plastic man said weakly, "I've changed my ways."

"It's not something you say counts." Batman interrupts.

The plastic man pouted: "I heard that some people are good looks, aren't they also thieves, and they are also walking with me."

Batman narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

The plastic man immediately covered his mouth: "Huh? Did anyone just speak? Did you hear that? Because I don't seem to hear it."

Batman ignored him.

"Enough. Today there are important things to talk about in the alliance. He paused, glancing at the plastic man, "Alliance members only. ”

Superman came out to play the round: "Okay, the plastic man may not have passed the test, but he is also a reserve member that we have all agreed to. Besides, he has already suffered the punishment he deserves for his mistakes, and everyone should have a second chance.

It's okay to let him hear it. ”

"That's it!"

The plastic man turned into a big red scarf wrapped around Superman's neck, and a big "S" was embroidered in the center.

"I told my friends a long time ago that I was the Superman compared to Batman." He shouted.

Batman ignored it and turned to the crowd.

"I think everyone already knows that not long ago the Earth briefly welcomed invaders. The second generation of watchtowers was destroyed during that invasion.

At present, the intruder has been confirmed to be repelled by 'Ultraman', and the corresponding crisis has been resolved. ”

"Cool."

The firestorm shook its head, and the flames on its head flickered.

"I'll just say Ultraman is invincible. Okay, I know, I'm listening, you talk a lot of nonsense. ”

Although he speaks quietly, he is still caught by Kara's super hearing. She glanced at Shen You strangely, and then secretly leaned over to Shen You: "I always feel that our new member also has a problem, he always likes to talk to himself, not like me, but really like he is talking to someone."

"Because he already had another person in his head." Shen You explained, "Firestorm has always been two people. He's a strong football star in his body and a physics professor in his head. Otherwise, how do you think a rugby player can understand something as complex as 'subatomic rearrangement'? ”

"As it is"

At this point, Batman continued to speak.

"The alien threat was lifted, but that incident had consequences." Batman said in a deep voice, "At that time, Martian Manhunter had to activate the self-detonation program and blow up the watchtower, and before that, the watchtower's security protocol had been broken by aliens.

We tried to restore the data, and found that a third party had taken advantage of the opportunity to hack into the Alliance's database. All the information that the Alliance had kept in the past few years had been stolen by that man. ”

"What!?"

The plastic man was the first to jump up.

"Guys, that's a big deal! I mean. That's the Justice League's database! There must be a lot of things in it that shouldn't be seen by others, right? ”

"I think so." Superman said, "So now there is a clue about that person?" ”

"It's still under investigation. But my guess is that it's some enemy who has been eyeing the Alliance, maybe he's been studying us, looking for flaws. Caronna's invasion saw him an opportunity, and he seized it.

In fact, the intruder also left us a message. ”

"What's the message?" Carla asked.

Without saying a word, Batman slapped the picture on the large projection screen.

A skull, mocking, with a pair of interlaced bones like "X" underneath.

A sentence was also attached.

"Have a great day."

Wonder Woman frowned: "This looks like a provocation. ”

"It's a provocation, Diana."

Batman turned to the crowd and said solemnly.

"They're coming for the Alliance, and I already have a suspect in mind. If I'm expecting it to be good. Maybe it's going to be done soon. ”
