Description Yes, I have another stretchy hero, but this one's part of the League of Super Texans.

NAME: Rubber Rod

REAL NAME: Rodney Peterson

AGE: Early to mid 20's

POWERS AND ABILITIES: Elasticity, the ability to mold his shape into different objects.

BIO: Rodney Peterson is a high school graduate who goes to Texas A&M. However, he needs to pay for his tuition, so he took a job as a part-time security guard at night. The pay was decent, and he got to meet nice and interesting people at his job. However one night during his shift, he encounter thieves trying to break into the science lab.

Thieves broke inside the science lab to steal important chemicals from the lab in order to sell them to North Korea and other Communist/Socialist countries. Rodney rushed in to stop the thieves before they flee with their stolen loot. However, the loot spilled onto Rodney, causing him to absorb the chemicals. After the police arrested the thieves, they tend to Rodney, whom feels some ill effects from the chemicals. After some tests during a stay at the hospital, it's discovered that Rodney's body became rubbery!

He was shocked to hear the news. He would feel like a freak at first, but he learned to control his newfound powers. He decided after what happened during the botched break in at the lab that very night. He also knows about threats from everywhere he goes, from common crimes to gang violence to terrorism to supervillainy. So, he decided to call himself Rubber-Rod and fights all threats, anywhere!

Unlike Flexi-Gal, whom was inspired by both Kim Possible and Plastic Man, Rubber-Rod was inspired by Ralph Dibny, The Elongated Man, only in college and trying to pay his tuition with a blue collar job. Like Flexi-Gal, he shares the same weaknesses like harsh elements and being overstretched. He is also part of the League of Super Texans as well. It's also a fact that you guys didn't know that Flexi-Gal has a crush on him, even though he's too old for her!

More LST characters soon.
