Do we know this or is this spec? -- Ipstenu 13:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
The article states that only one other DCU character has been known to take Gingold. I believe (pre-crisis) Jimmy Olsen was able to take it and was an honorary member of the Legion Of Superheroes.
This needs to be fixed. Olsen first became Elastic Lad after being exposed to an unknown alien liquid that Superman brought back from space. Later, Professor Potter produced a synthetic liquid that produces the same effect. No Gingold in sight.
If the current de-powered, detective, civilian, non-superhero incarnation of the Elongated Man character 'sticks', it may be appropriate to rename this article 'Ralph Dibney'. Thoughts? -Toptomcat 16:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I won't buy The Dark Knight Strikes Again because its art is hideous. That said, apparently, according to this article, Ralph helps Batman fight against Batman. So who wants to replace the wrong 'Batman' with the right character?
I've been scowering The Dark Knight Returns to find this Ralph Dibny reference and can't find it, so someone tell me where it is or take off that he's in it. --002Kflash052
Ralph Dibney is mentioned on the last line of the text prologue of the first issue of DKR.
I don't think that's the actual object used by Dr. Fate. Rather, a duplicate created by Faust.

In Kingdom Come Ralph is all stretched out and cannot control his stretching.
I don't recall this anywhere in Kingdom Come. Lots42 04:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Fans say a lot of things. The Nick and Nora sentiment, though applicable, should go if not cited by someone noteable. Lots42 10:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
It jumps from his origins to Identity Crisis with no mention of:

I like the current pic (it is clear, clean, concise) but we should have one showing him streching. Lots42 (talk) 09:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
I agree. The main pick is excellent in that it shows the relevance of Ralph in the 00s. However, a second pic should show his powers.--20-dude (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned that he has not (yet?) appeared in the New 52 continuity? 107.221.229.121 (talk)

The section on The Dark Knight Strikes Again says that Dibny "retains his rivalry with Plastic Man as well as his friendship with Barry Allen and Oliver Queen". However, the rivalry with Plastic Man is never touched on anywhere else in the article. In fact, the only mentions of Plastic Man at all are behind-the-scenes.
From what I remember of DKSA, the EM-PM fight has little to do with their friendly rivalry over the decades, and a lot more to do with the DKSA universe's version of PM being locked up for decades and driven insane.
More importantly, if the PM rivalry isn't notable enough to mention in the main article, surely it's not notable enough to mention that it's carried over into DKSA. And I don't think it is notable enough. The DC Wikia's more extensive pages on PM and EM don't mention each other at all in-universe, and neither of the EM fan pages linked from this article mention PM in-universe either.
I suspect that someone wanted to say that Frank Miller had EM and PM fight because of the out-of-universe history, the decades of fans arguing about which of the two stretchy guys is a useless Z-list hero, but didn't know how to get that across. If so, that's probably true, but you'd probably need a source to say it on Wikipedia. --157.131.170.189 (talk) 09:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
