HistoryEdit

Ex-con Sherman "Skizzle" Shanks was an associate of Eel O'Brian and was present when O'Brian was accidently splashed with chemicals that gave O'Brian his incredible elasticity. Years later, after serving a lengthy prison sentence, Shanks buys a defunct chemical plant in a tax auction and concocts a mixture of all the various chemicals found therein into a compound he hopes will give him similiar super-powers. Amazingly, his plan works when he purposely shoots one of the drums, dousing himself in the toxic acid and gaining incredible stretching powers.
