History
Flatman is a member and second-in-command of the Great Lakes Avengers, an unauthorized division of the regular Avengers superhero that watches over the Wisconsin area. Although no true origin was given at first for his stretching abilities and odd appearance, it was later revealed that he is a mutant.
Called the "2D Avenger", Flatman's body allows him fit into nearly any small space. He has a strong sense of justice and he is very trusting; a trait which has gotten him in trouble on more than one occasion. His primary roles include long-ranged rescues and helping the team solves crimes with his extensive knowledge of fashion which he was reported to have "studied in college". In an issue of Deadpool, he is able to identify a women's shoe and describe it in detail, while later rescuing a man and referring to him as "sailor", leading his team to question his sexuality. At first, Flatman denied any claims that he was a homosexual. However, when a new Avenger recruit called Living Lightning first approached the Great Lakes Avengers (usually abbreviated as "GLA") he thought they were actually the "Gay/Lesbian Alliance". Apologizing, he left quickly, but his willingness to come out to others gave Flatman the courage to do it himself. He revealed that he was in fact gay to his teammates, though he felt one-uped when Mr. Immortal revealed that he was the pinnacle of mankind ("Homo Supreme").
Though Flatman refers to himself as Dr. Val Ventura, his doctoral background is highly questionable. He is not able to present a degree to prove his education and when asked by Doorman what he was a doctor of, Flatman replied that he was a doctor of "stuff." When told by a fellow doctor (who had confused him for Mr. Fantastic) that time moved in only a single direction Flatman seemed shocked and even had to ask which direction that was. Though Flatman often seems to act intelligent, he is yet to prove any sort of superior intellect.
