Synopsis Madman finds his Atomics teammate Mr. Gum begging for change in the street, completely unaware of who he is, what he can do or how he came to be in the shoddy state he's in. The problem is quickly tracked back to Mr. Gum's father's candy business, and with his memory restored, he sets out to get to the bottom of the mystery. Along the way, he's also hoping to patch up a couple of relationships. He and his father have been estranged for some time, and there's a special lady working at the company who's caught the stretchable hero's eye as well.

Notes Mike Allred offers up a thoroughly accessible look at a small corner of Snap City. He pays tribute to Silver Age super-heroics -- and to the Plastic Man stories of yesteryear in particular -- and delivers a light romance story in the process.
