Elasti-Girl
Elasti-Girl (Rita Farr Dayton, also known as Elasti-Woman) is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as a member of the Doom Patrol. Created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Bruno Premiani, the character first appeared in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963).
Elasti-Girl has appeared in numerous animated television shows and films. She made her first live-action appearance on the DC Universe and Max series Titans, played by April Bowlby, who reprised the role for the series Doom Patrol.
Elasti-Girl was created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani. She first appeared in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963). According to Drake, the issue's co-writer Bob Haney was not brought on to the project until after Elasti-Girl was created.
Rita Farr is an Olympic swimming gold medalist turned Hollywood actress who is exposed to unusual volcanic gases while shooting a film in Africa. When Farr recovers, she discovers that she can expand or shrink her body at will—from hundreds of feet tall to mere inches in height. When she gains greater control of her powers, she discovers that she can enlarge one limb at a time.
Although not physically disfigured, Rita initially has no control over her powers, is considered a freak and a menace, and becomes a recluse, leaving her Hollywood career in ruins. However, Rita is approached by Niles Caulder (also known as the Chief) who offers her a place among fellow "freaks" attempting to use their powers for good. As Elasti-Girl, she joins Caulder's team, the Doom Patrol. Rita falls in love with, and marries, Steve Dayton, the hero Mento. The two later adopt Garfield Logan, who becomes Beast Boy.
In the JLA: Year One storyline, Martian Manhunter tells Rita that he was something of a fan of her "chiller pictures" and that he was disappointed that she did not continue making films. Flattered, she kisses him on the cheek and later tells him that she has met Sigourney Weaver and that she is sure he would approve of her.
The Doom Patrol later sacrifice themselves to stop the Brotherhood of Evil from destroying Codsville, a small New England fishing village. It is later revealed that several members of the team cheated death, though Elasti-Girl remained "dead" until Infinite Crisis.
In John Byrne's Doom Patrol run, Elasti-Girl and the Doom Patrol are resurrected due to Superboy-Prime disrupting the barrier of reality. The Patrol members retain no memories of their previous lives until Prime breaks the Phantom Zone barrier during his battle with the Teen Titans. At that moment, their minds discern visions of the previous Doom Patrols, and Rita remembers everything—her family and death.
