The Facts of Life

Yeah, Plastic Man has about twenty years on Richards, but if Marvel borrowed anything it was just the stretchability factor. Plastic Man is a product of the early Golden Age. Meaning a character could get new powers almost weekly based on what the writers needed to drive or solve a plot.

Thankfully, characters that survived into and past the Silver Age would often get ret-conned to ground their powers and abilities a bit. Superman used to be able to change his appearance at will and punch planets out of orbit.
