The First SS-Class Villain Emerges

Military action

Elastica burst onto the scene when she conducted a break-in at Fort Knox and easily handled the attacks of Lionheart, among others. Her seeming invulnerability to damage from any source during that attack as well as her ability to fight multiple combatants simultaneously led to her designation at SS-class shortly after her initial appearance. As so many had cheered to see a born S-class superhero emerge, they now worried if the appearance of Elastica signified a power shift in favor of the villains who continued to make bold attempts to undermine society and enhance their own personal power. In the years to come, several other born superhumans would attain SS-class power rankings, including Huntsman, who eventually subdued Elastica and presented her to the authorities to answer for her crimes.
