Plastic Man is a popular American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. and initially aired in 1979. It was based on the DC Comics character of the same name, who was created by Jack Cole in 1941. The show featured the adventures of this malleable superhero who fights for justice in his elastic form. The iconic character was voiced by Alan Oppenheimer, who did a remarkable job of bringing Plastic Man to life.

The plot of Plastic Man followed the adventures of a former convict named Eel O'Brian, who gains elasticity after getting drenched in a strange acid. He discovers that he can stretch his body to any shape he wants, making him almost invincible. O'Brian realizes the potential of his newfound powers and decides to use them for good. He becomes a superhero and takes on the name Plastic Man, becoming a force to be reckoned with in the battle against crime.

Throughout the show, Plastic Man is aided by a cast of supporting characters, including his love interest, Penny (voiced by Melendy Britt), and his sidekick, Hula Hula (voiced by Al Fann). These characters add depth to the show and help to develop the dynamics between the main characters. Meanwhile, Plastic Man's archnemesis, the diabolical Crime Chief, is constantly causing chaos in the city. The character was voiced by Michael Bell, who brought an engaging sense of malevolence to the character.

The show was praised for its use of humor, action, and memorable characters. It was loved by kids and adults alike and became a classic of the era. The humor of the show came from multiple sources, including Plastic Man himself, who had a quirky sense of humor and often used his powers to play practical jokes. Other sources of comedy came from the supporting characters, particularly Hula Hula, who was always finding himself in silly situations.

The action scenes of the show were well-done and featured exhilarating battles between good and evil. Plastic Man's elastic powers were creatively used in these scenes and often brought a unique twist to the standard superhero battles. The visuals of the show were also noteworthy, featuring bright colors and wacky designs that helped to set it apart from other superhero shows of the time.

One of the most memorable aspects of the show was its voice acting. The show featured a multitude of talented voice actors who brought life and personality to the characters. In addition to Oppenheimer and Bell, other standout performances came from Alan Young (who voiced Plastic Man's boss, Commissioner Gellman), John Bailey (who voiced Plastic Man's partner, Woozy Winks), and Frank Welker (who provided additional voices for various characters throughout the series). Tom Kenny, who later went on to voice SpongeBob SquarePants, also made an appearance in the show's final episode.

The show's popularity led to a variety of spin-offs and adaptations, including a comic book series and video games. It is considered to be one of the most influential superhero shows of its time and has left a lasting impact on the genre. Fans of the show continue to love it to this day and appreciate its distinct sense of humor and imaginative approach to superhero storytelling.

In conclusion, Plastic Man was a fantastic animated series that blended humor, action, and unforgettable characters. Its distinct style and engaging storytelling set it apart from other superhero shows of the era and helped to make it a classic. With its memorable voice acting and imaginative use of Plastic Man's powers, it remains a beloved part of pop culture history.
