Biography[]
Vice president of the United States[]
At some point after Phil Baker became president, Plastino was appointed as his vice president of the United States.[1]

Following the revelation of Baker's connection to Lex Luthor and the latter's terrorist activities, he was removed from office and arrested. Plastino subsequently assumed presidency; until re-elections were held and began undoing the damage done to the nation; by his corrupt predecessor.
Plastino's first acts were to fire Ben Lockwood and remove the Children of Liberty's deputization; before having them imprisoned for domestic terrorism. He also appointed colonel Lauren Haley as the interim secretary of the United States Department of Alien Affairs, as well as withdrawing martial law and reinstating the Alien Amnesty Act.[1]
Anti-Monitor Crisis[]
When a wave of antimatter was about to hit Earth, Plastino was contacted by Alex Danvers to prepare the evacuation of Earth before the wave consumed the universe. He contacted the other world leaders to inform them of the situation and evacuate every citizen off of Earth-38.[2]
If he was not evacuated in time, Plastino was assumed to have died in the Anti-Monitor Crisis. Whether he was one of the other 4.53 billion who died when the wave hit Earth-38, or evacuated to Earth-1 and died when the wave hit that world, is unknown.[3]
