    Massively underrated character, if his gender was Rule63’d he would be more used
    Also, Plastic Man would definitely have other children later in his life regardless of Offspring’s age

        Technically neither of them can age, and they’re (supposedly) immortal
        And considering they’re horndogs, it wouldn’t surprise me if Plastic Man and Offspring were the fathers of dozens of children throughout the decades (centuries even)

                are we the same person lol? because i had the same thought process when i had to create my Plastic Man-related female character.
                i still consider Ramona to be the perfect contender for being Plastic/Rubber Woman, but only in a Jack Cole/TBATB-inspired storyline...she doesn't really fit in with the mainstream DC universe, and thus she's out of the question if Offspring's involved too.

                then i had the idea to not create just one, but two OCs, who would be the respective daughters of Eel and Luke (they both share the same age), see picrel.

                the half-black/half-white ginger one is Rebecca "Rae" O'Brian, aka Rebound (Eel's)
                the half-iranian/half-white raven one is Farah "Fay" O'Brian, aka Flexia (Luke's)
                together, they fight crime as the Rubber Sisters (even though they're aunt and niece), but they would be other female stretchy characters included, all OCs btw (the late EM's daughter, Madame Rouge's "clone", a lab rat from Korea, etc.).

              Depends on who her mother would be. I initially thought about Ramona being her mother and her being a red head because of it but making her half white half-black (or Asian) could be a nice mix up.
              Maybe her base uniform is an identical leotard to Plas but in a different color. Also as a gag because I imagine her as the average indecisive teenager, she keeps using her powers to change her costume to be more stylish and never settling on one look.

      Eel has a strong urge to be a good father and wouldn't be a duck and run father. So him having a shit ton of kids wouldn't really fit. Seems more the type to give up on the business until he finds a woman/being who is also on or near his level of immortality.

        I think what anon meant is that, in the case where Luke becmes an adult and has his own responsibilities (like in the Kingdom Comic one-shot by Frank Quitely), Eel would basically settle down with a new chick and maybe have a child (or children even) until she dies or they part ways, rince and repeat. He's no longer a heartless butthole, he's just trying his best at being a good father and husband given the circumstances
        He has learnt for his past mistakes but unless there's a lady on the planet that shares his freaky rubber powers (and that isn't related to him lol), that's how it'd roll imo. And by that logic, the same thing would also apply to his son

          Eh I don't see him bouncing back like that ironically enough. Even eel would eventually see mortals just aren't worth constantly dicking as he outlives them. I think eventually he would make a move to other long life races and we would start seeing his offspring have a mix of powers.

          Never a vow of chastity like Superman post Lois but someone that matches his biology.

            that's one cool idea, i wanted to give either Plas or Offspring a daughter that would have had reality-warping powers, like Mxyzptlk but much less powerful (if she's able to change herself, then what about changing her neaby environment)

              Not the guy you're responding to, but with Plastic Man he's really only human in relative appearance and is more like sentient plastic. He won't decompose or degrade over time like normal human flesh.
              As for Offspring I'm not so sure. He's clearly shown to have matured from a child to a man so he clearly ages unless he's consciously maturing himself with his powers.

                i dunno, if there was a moment where Batman or some other scientist examined either Plas’ or Offspring’s genetic code and came to a conclusion that they might (or might no) be everlasting
                the thing is that every single writer that toyed with that question never gave a definitive answer because nobody at DC Comics gives a damn about them.
                but hey i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, however i’m still clueless on how they can even after knowing this
                do they still consider themselves to be human beings anymore?

                Art is good but reminds me of the Nazi Earth Plastique Men that are pure horror shows.

                God level or not. From human perspective he'd feel immortal if after 500-1000 years he can't see any noticeable difference or science tells him he ages/decays incredibly slow.

                it's probably the semi-realistic pin-up look which can come off as stiff. it's an acquired taste but i think it works well
                i'll ask him to more commissions in the future, some of them will include their fathers (with Luke wearing the family's leotard)

                all of them are good, but the last one is from far the best
                thanks anon

                i agree, glad you dig it too. they look über bendy on that one

    I've always been curious why there isn't a breakaway race of plastic men in the 31st century. Also, does anybody remember this character https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Pado_Swakatoon_(Prime_Earth)

    I always liked the idea of younger version of Luke becoming hero still experimenting with his powers.

    what would be his live-action faceclaim?
    because we all know Jim Carrey or Johnny Knowville would have been perfect for Plastic Man but i can't put my finger for Offspring
