I have always felt that Elastigirl was given the short end of the plot stick not because she wasn't an interesting character or lacked usable powers but rather was hampered by the time (Silver Age DC comics) in which the character was written.

Reading many of those early to mid 60's plots it feels like she was only "empowered" because she was simply physically large, an oddly masculine approach and was otherwise a mild mannered house wife... oops, Olympic level swimmer turned Hollywood star who talked like a homemaker.

Never been a fan of DC comics...
