The Shape isn't Plastic Man or Elongated Man
People seem intent on drawing parallels between Squadron characters and Justice League characters, even past the point where they actually exist. Obviously, the orignial members were imitations, but later additions like Haywire, Inertia, Quagmire, and Thermite are not. Unfortunately for ol' Shape, he can't seem to dodge the Plastic Man/Elongated Man comparison no matter how carefully I try to explain it. Maybe somebody else can think of a way to get this across so that folks won't keep re-editing it to insist their misconception is correct.--steveg99

There was another Shape that pre-dated even the Squadron Supreme one. The description of Squadron Supreme Shape sounds a lot like this original Shape. The original Shape appeared in Charlton Premiere #1 and was created by Grass Green. Also appearing in that issue were Spookman and the Tyro Team. It might be worth profiling that original Shape in this article.71.250.205.27 02:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
