Warning: Contains potential spoilers for Plastic Man No More! #2!This Justice League Hero may have once walked a fine line between right and wrong, but murder has never been part of his playbook – until now. Known for his easy-going, kind nature, this fan-favorite crossed a shocking line, claiming the lives of not one, but six fellow heroes. And if he achieves his ultimate goal, the body count among DC’s greatest could climb even higher.
Christopher Cantwell and Jacob Edgar are back with the second installment of their Plastic man no more! Series, where Patrick “oil” O’Brian continues his quest to cheat death after learning that he is “depolymerizing,” Or, in simpler terms, “Come apart.”
After some “hypothetical” Chatting with an expert scientist, Patrick discovers his only hope to keep his unique physiology intact is to create a “Fusion Reaction of Incredible Magnitude”– which means he has to build a massive nuclear bomb and be at the center of its detonation. Issue #2 marks the first six casualties in Plastic Man’s mission of rescue: The Metal Men.
“Wow. You killed them. You killed them all.” – Uranium about his brothers and sisters
in Plastic man no more! #2, Plastic Man discovers that the Metal Man Uranium is the only source of uranium large enough to fuel the nuclear bomb needed to reverse his depolymerization. To get him, Patrick enlists his longtime friend, Woozy, to help “rescue” Uranium from his captor, No-Face, who is also looking to build a bomb. The plastic man approaches the other metal men – gold, iron, lead, mercury, tin and platinum – to offer his help in freeing uranium. However, the mission/kidnapping turns disastrous when Plastic Man accidentally dumps all the metal men, except uranium, into a molten pot, where they begin to melt.
As he watches his siblings melt away, Uranium’s chilling words, “Whoa. You killed them. You killed them all.” Unmistakably mark the transformation of plastic man into a killer. His actions – carried out under the guise of a rescue, led to the death of six beloved heroes. However, these deaths are not only tragic – they serve as a great example of those who have already died. The design of Plastic Man is dangerously reckless, and the threat of further destruction is great. With the nuclear bomb still on the horizon, it’s clear that more lives—be they heroes or innocent civilians—could be caught up in the fallout.

Plastic Man may not be a killer after all – but he’s definitely still a joke
While uranium’s “You kill them” Statement seems final, there may be more to the metal people “dead” As meets the eye. in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #14 by Mark Waid, fans saw the Metal Men in a similar situation where they were completely dissolved in a molten pot, only to be restored and fully functional in the following issue. Thus, despite their current dissolved state in Plastic man no more!It’s likely the metal people can be restored once removed from the pot, potentially saving Plastic Man of his newly earned reputation as a killer.
