Warning: Spoilers for Plastic Man No More! #1When I read comics starring Justice League's silliest hero use his stretchy powers in fun ways. However, his latest story has taken him in a revolting direction that makes my stomach churn from just thinking about it. In a new DC Black Label series, Plastic Man's abilities get a horrific new side effect that I already know will keep me up at night.

In Plastic Man No More! #1 by Christopher Cantwell, Jacob Edgar, and Alex Lins, Patrick "Eel" O'Brian is in for his darkest adventure yet - and perhaps his final one, too - as his powers turn against him. He gets hit with a death ray while on a mission with his Justice League teammates, and though everyone brushes it off at the time, Plastic Man soon wakes up to discover that his rubbery body has started to melt.

Plastic Man's powers have taken a sharp left turn into body horror territory with this imagery, and the sight of his body melting away in a repulsive stream of ooze is one that will undoubtedly haunt my nightmares.

Plastic Man Turns Into Pure Nightmare Fuel as His Body Betrays Him

DC's Silliest Hero Just Became the Most Horrifying

Plastic Man's powers have gone haywire, with his arm melting from his body in a disgusting fashion. Usually, Plastic Man can reshape his body however he pleases thanks to his remarkable elasticity, but now he can't even regenerate his arm. Plastic Man ends up tying a trash bag to his arm to keep the liquefied remnants from dripping everywhere, and seeing him pour the contents into a bucket is as nauseating as it gets. His powers are normally a delight to watch, but their new drawback proves how terrifying Plastic Man's abilities have the potential to be.

What's been shown so far is only the beginning of Plastic Man's deterioration, which means it'll only get more grotesque from here.

If Plastic Man's melting arm is difficult to stomach on its own, the revelation that it can't be fixed makes it even worse. According to a scientist he consults, he's falling apart on a molecular level, and there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse it. In other words, Plastic Man's powers are killing him. The death ray that struck him has accelerated the process, and it's only a matter of time before his entire body has melted away like his arm. What's been shown so far is only the beginning of Plastic Man's deterioration, which means it'll only get more grotesque from here.

Plastic Man's Powers Are Killing Him in the Most Gruesome Way Possible

Will He Be Able to Pull Himself Back Together?

With this shocking new revelation about Plastic Man, the end may be drawing near for this Justice League icon, and I can't imagine a scarier way to go out than this. His only hope for a cure is building a nuclear bomb, but there's no guarantee he can accomplish that before his whole body is reduced to disgusting ooze. Whatever happens, it's safe to say I won't be getting a good night's sleep any time soon now that Plastic Man's body horror transformation is sure to visit me in my nightmares.
