History: (Plastic Man vol. 2 #12)-The future Carrot-Man was a nobody and a loser, having no friends and never able to hold steady work. That all changed the day he dressed up in a big, stupid carrot costume to be a contestant on the gameshow “Let’s Make a Steal.” One of the other contestants won a blender, and in her excitement it slipped from her hands and his Carrot-Man on the head. He lay unconscious for hours in the TV studio with no one bothering to help him, and it wasn’t until the eleven o’clock news was being filmed that he woke up. The hit on the head brought out the hidden evil side of his nature, and he made up his mind to become the Vegetable King of Crime. After throttling the news anchors he commandeered the show to introduce himself to the public. He detailed his plan of stealing the famous Springs-Eternal Diamond from the Museum of Mundane Art, and then challenged Plastic Man I to stop him. Plastic Man wasn’t overjoyed to leave a new year’s eve party to deal with Carrot-Man, but they did meet up at the museum. One konk on the head later and Carrot-Man was off to jail, protesting that he was a very important super-villain.
