Sue Dibny
Paris was always one of Elongated Man’s favorite cities in the world and he was thrilled to take his wife there for the first time. Sue enjoyed sightseeing and shopping but told Elongated Man she had a mystery for him to solve, as she was suddenly able to fluently speak and read French. Elongated Man pondered the situation and read a newspaper article about valuable perfume essence being stolen from an office on the Champs Elysses. Sue suddenly left, taking a cab to the Eiffel Tower, and Elongated Man followed her. The perfume thieves were meeting at the monument, discussing their plans. They were working with stage magician the Remarkable Rajah, who had the perfume essence hidden in the false bottom of his magic equipment. They were waiting for their boss, Monica, who cooked up the whole scheme when sue arrived, claiming she was their boss. The confused criminals decided to kidnap her to see what she was playing at while she continued to insist she was Monica. Elongated man tried to save her, so they pushed him off a balcony. Elongated man stretched his arms to reach a girder and catapult himself bat to the Eiffel Tower. He followed the crooks to their houseboat, stretching himself out to prevent them from escaping. Rajah fired at him but he made himself thin enough to be a hard target before swinging out his elongated arm, knocking the crooks off their feet. A crowd had gathered, and was enamored with Elongated man’s heroics. Word of L’Homme Etendu spread, making elongated man a celebrated celebrity. Elongated Man and sue returned to their hotel room where the real Monica arrived, claiming to be Sue and kissing Elongated Man. Sue snapped out of believing she was Monica, telling the crook to get her hands off her man. Monica went to prison and elongated Man theorized that Remarkable Rajah hypnotized Monica during his act, causing her and Sue to temporarily switch identities because the two women’s brain-waves were in harmony. Sue told her husband that sounded like a bunch of gibberish. (Detective Comics v1 #344)
Elongated Man went on vacation with Sue in Vermont, and he looked forward to fishing in Lake Cherokee. He was distressed when Sue said she was joining him, and debuted a fashion plate lady angler outfit. They found the lake bone dry, but when Ralph saw a man fishing in the dry lake his nose twitched, sensing a good mystery. Sue knew she was out of her element, and left for town. Ralph saw that the man was fishing with a magnet, and snagged something. Ralph followed the man to the old Ewell house, where he knocked out a caretaker, and used the key he fished out of the lake to open the grandfather clock, that led to a secret room. Elongated Man followed, and was subjected to a beating from spring-loaded boxing gloves, the deceased Ewell's idea of a security system. When he recovered he followed the crooks tire tracks to a rented cabin. The criminal, Chuck, was explaining to his old gang that he first learned of Ewell's treasures and security system when he was busted for trying to rob the place, but with the clock key he pulled off the robbery untouched. Elongated Man had heard enough, and used his fantastic powers to make short work of the gang. Ralph returned to his cabin, and Sue announced that tired or not, he was going with her to Lake Indian Head. She'd asked the locals, and it had good fishing. Ralph still wasn't sure he liked his wife sharing his interests. (Detective Comics v1 #349)
