	Actors - Elasti-Girl

Elasti-Girl is a superhero of the DC Comics universe and a member of the Doom Patrol.

History

According to the Doom Patrol series, Rita Farr was a Hollywood actress who was exposed to unusual volcanic gases while shooting a film in Africa. When Farr recovered, she discovered that she could grow or shrink her body at will from microscopic to thousands of feet tall. Elasti-Girl later enhanced her powers to enlarge one limb at a time. Unfortunately, her powers were slowly killing her. She was the sole member of original Doom Patrol who died during the series and remained dead thereafter.

When writer-artist John Byrne rebooted the Doom Patrol in 2004, Elasti-Girl was among the original Doom Patrol members to be reintroduced, as if none of the past Doom Patrol continuity (including Rita's well-established death) ever happened. According to Teen Titans #32, it all happened, the characters had suffered some memory loss, and the reintroduced Doom Patrol members were the originals after all -- none of which has yet been explained, including why Elasti-Girl would be alive even though Robotman once found her oversized skeletal remains.

Infinite Crisis

It was revealed in Infinite Crisis #5 that the reason for the resurrection of the Doom Patrol was due to Superboy-Prime pounding on the walls of the "heaven" in which he was trapped. This had the effect of altering reality, including bringing back the Patrol.

Other media

Elasti-Girl has appeared as a member of the Doom Patrol in Season Five (the two-part "Homecoming" episode) of the Teen Titans animated series. Her ability to shrink is absent from the series.

She is voiced by Tara Strong, who also voices Beast Boy's teammate Raven.
