The Elongated Man suits are a series of protective suits worn by Ralph Dibny when he was out on the field as the superhero Elongated Man.
History
First suit
Ralph looking at his suit in its shrunken down form.
While the suit may only look like a plain old tarp it actually has an "adaptive nano-weave structure that is malleable on the sub-molecular level" so that, according to Cisco, when Ralph stretches, it stretches and when he squishes, it squishes. The suit is a blue-grey leotard with a matching mask and black tennis shoes. Both wishing for and needing his own suit for superheroics, Cisco Ramon presented Ralph Dibny with the suit, much to the latter's disbelief. He later wore it in the field while fighting Mina Chaytan.[1]
Second suit
The second suit, which Cisco created when Axel Walker and Zoey Clark were attacking Central City was designed more like a tracksuit. It was a dark burgundy color with white stripes on it, it also had black boots and black fingerless leather gloves with a black domino mask.[2]
After Clifford DeVoe stole his body and killed him, he escaped to his pocket dimension and took the suit, which was on Ralph when he died. Its likely DeVoe discarded of the suit.
Functions
- Malleability: The suit's main function was enabling it to contort and stretch along with Ralph.
- Identity concealment: The suit also served to conceal Ralph's identity, coming with a mask.
