So I am watching Tosh.0 and in a very odd video about popcorn he starts out wearing red tights and wierd sunglasses. I couldnt help but think "he looks just like The Elongated Man" and the more I consider it he becomes better and better to actually play the role.

Now ofcourse this will never happen, and really shouldnt (I hate The Elongated Man) but it made me curious, can anyone here find comic book characters that havent been represented on the big screen that also have real life performers that would do them justice?

Dude, you mean Plastic Man. Elongated Man is a different guy altogether. EM was Ralph Dibney, a detective who had to drink a special drink to be stretchy. PM was Eel O'Brian, a crook who got shot and fell into a batch of chemicals. When he woke up with stretchy powers, he switched teams and started fighting crime.

Interestingly (or oddly) enough, Plastic Man and the Joker have pretty much the same origin.

Kay, just spent twenty minutes trying to figure out why I thought while leafing through The Dark Knight Strikes Again. I see now how I confused the two, sorry. But Tosh does look like an excellent Plastic Man doesnt he?
