Biography
Jonathan Rook
He alongside his mentor Racine Cleo and the Dashti's came to discover a new revolutionary compound called Flexarium.
One day, he decided to test the formula on himself despite the advice of Cleo and the Dashti's. Injecting it into himself, he was transformed into a monstrous green-skinned creature with amazing stretching related powers.
Stretch Monster hired the Gentleman with the goal of finding and capturing Blindstrike who was in possession to sensitive information. When the mercenary returned, he revealed that he failed in his goal and thus returned the money paid to him. Afterwards, the Tech Men managed to hack into the systems of Rook Unlimited and steal the company's highly advanced and secret solar panels which they rigged to generate an EMP shock to knock out the city's electronics. Rook security battled them alongside Stretch who offered the solution of detonating their airship's Flexarium drive to destroy the solar generator. An angry Rook then wanted to know how the Tech Men had circumvented his security systems with his people looking into the matter.
Overview
Personality and attributes
As Stretch Monster, he was more monstrous in form as he stood taller than a human with a ghoulish green skinned features along with red eyes.
Despite his kind appearance, there was another darker persona to him which was the one he took as Stretch Monster.
On the surface, Jonathan Rook appeared to be a kind and generous person who wanted to improve the lives of people in Charter City.
He was shown to be highly duplicitous and use people to achieve his goal. In order to find Dr. Cleo, he faked a defeat at the hands of the Flex Fighters and claimed that he was a victim of her experiments. He then tried to forge a kinship with Jake Armstrong in order for him to trust the Stretch Monster to allow him to find Racine's laboratory. To deal with the Flex Fighters before they knew his secret, he put a poison within their drinks in order to weaken them for their eventual fight.
His ultimate goal was to bring about the next stage of human evolution through the use of Flexarium. Thus, he conducted experiments in order to find the perfect formula in order to transform mankind into superhuman beings. This he intended to do so by force regardless of humanity's desire. This was because of his view that humans were weaker beings who did not understand the capacity for change when it was given to them which was why he believed they should be evolved by force if necessary.
