Plastalloy is an substance created by Professor Andrew Zagarian.
History
Professor Andrew Zagarian was a scientist who was determined to find a medical substitute for lost human tissue. The fruit of the doctor's efforts came in the form of a strange material similar to plastic he dubbed plastalloy. On a hunch, Professor Zagarian strengthened his new concoction by adding salamander DNA which resulted with a substance far different than any medical silastic seen before. The biggest difference was that plastalloy was capable of completely regenerating new limbs and organs.
To test this new material, he created an entire body with it. The experiment suddenly went wrong. An unexpected surge of power from the lab machinery resulted with the body to grow into a hulking, hairy giant he dubbed the Shaggy Man. The plastalloy allowed the creature to regrow any lost limbs, adapt to any form of attack, and have no need for rest or nourishment. During this time, Flash persuaded Professor Zagarian to make a second Shaggy Man to fight it after they were thrown into a pit with a Moon creature. Both Shaggy Men would later go on to plague mankind countless times, where the beast's strength and regenerative powers allowed it to battle the entire Justice League to a standstill. While Professor Zagarian original intention was to have his plastalloy help the world, his discovery had unintentionally created one of its greatest threats.[1]
