Rita Farr was a famous Hollywood actress until she was exposed to strange gases while shooting a movie on location in Africa. Farr soon discovered she had the power of elasticity and could stretch any part of her body to incredible lengths and grow to macroscopic and microscopic size. She joined the Doom Patrol as Elasti-Girl.
As time went on, Elastigirl was an invaluable asset with her power. She defended a United States Naval Destroyer from an alleged sea monster. But at one point, she was infected by victims of General Immortus and turned into a diamond skinned zombie loyal to the Brotherhood of Evil. She was returned to normal and helped defeat the Brotherhood. Elastigirl was also constantly wooed by the multi-millionaire, Steve Dayton, but she ultimately chose the Patrol over marriage.
After the Paris battle against General Zahl, Elastigirl retired and permanently moved in with her husband, Steve Dayton, at his estate. For years, she languished in self-indulgence until the return of the Mutant Master. The Chief and Batman convinced her to help. After she defeated the villains, they went after Negative Man and Robotman only to be captured by General Zahl. Rather than let more innocents die, the Doom Patrol sacrificed their lives.
