[[Do Not Confuse With|Has nothing to do with]] the [[Leather Man]], the [[Straw Character|straw man]], or the [[Slender Man Mythos|Slender Man]].
{{examples|Examples}}
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* Monkey D. Luffy of ''[[One Piece]]'', after he consumes the Gum-Gum Fruit (note that "gum" derives from "gomu" means rubber). He often [[Calling Your Attacks|shouts "Gum-Gum <something>"]] when using this power.
** As a note, he's more literally rubber than most examples--it requires energy for him to stretch himself, when released he snaps back into shape, and he's [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors|highly resistant to electricity]] and some blunt-force attacks (like maces). {{spoiler|He's even learned how to vulcanize himself, via [[Ki Attacks|Haki]].}}
* Cyborg 007 (G.B.) from ''[[Cyborg 009]]'' was a [[Master of Disguise]] who also used his abilities like this.
* Udono Jousuke from ''[[Basilisk]]'' uses his body fat to turn his body pretty much into a living bouncing ball.
Line 97:
* Vice from ''[[The King of Fighters]]'', in a manner similar to Necro.
* Kotarou Fuuma from the ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' games. He is basically an evil Dhalsim.
* Captain Silver from the obscure Capcom [[Beat 'Em Up]] ''[[Battle Circuit]].'' Here, rubber powers are interpreted as a form of shapeshifting, a la Plastic Man.
* ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'''s Sonic the Werehog has the ability to stretch his arms out at great lengths to make up for his lack of speed.

== Webcomics ==
* [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=90023 Matt O'Morph] from ''[[Everyday Heroes]]''. On the one hand, his flexibility makes it hard to hurt him; on the other, it's hard for him to inflict damage on his opponent. Still, he's effective as team leader (because it's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|important for leaders to be flexible]]).
* Elastic Man of Brad Guigar's ''[[Evil, Inc.]]'', is a fairly straightforward Plastic Man ripoff down to him being the designated comic relief. Seems to be made entirely out of a green gel and cannot change colors.
* [[Something Positive]] has a bizarre cat example.
* Kaz the Jester in [http://worksuckscomic.com/ Work Sucks] is an anthropomorphic rubber lion. So far he has been shown to squeak when slapped or slapping others.
