Been proposed more times than you can imagine, and by people who put a bit more thought into it.
What would you be able to do?
How would it work?
Please remember that you aren't playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance, you're playing City of Heroes. The controls aren't the same, for starters...

I can see where the OP is coming from but i have a problem with just Copycatting powers from popular comics. It goes into the realm of cliche's really.
I'd like to see original ideas. I mean if you think about it the CoX powers we currently have are pretty much generic. You could see multiple heroes having them powers. Whereas stretching seems very specific and i think just wouldn't work en mass.
The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it

well ... First of all I believe the stretching is not a specific power, in comics you can found very different quality of this power (Mr Fantastic, Skin, Morph or also the DC's Plasticman). I suppose that the worst problem on a power of this kind is the prepossession for grasp melee attack ...
How shoud it work ?
well I suppose it can work similar to Martial art with a stretching-character graphic: a "long" punch, a "hammer" hit, a smash defense, a whirling attack, a knockdown area attack, a smash and lethal defense, a loop attack, an extreme clash attack and a bind attack ...
I don't know in real I've never though about write it with all its rules but I can try if you tell me that it can be possible in game ...

Unfortunately, the graphics engine for CoX can't handle that kinda animations. A "stretchy" animation would be almost impossible, go any farther than that then it is not feasable.
Of course this is just my knowledge of the engine and I may be wrong.
Well, stretching is handled by the current engine - you can stretch your legs at the Icon, and see them extend, plus, in the actual avatar creator, you can expand you entire body several feet, so stretching is possible in some form with the tech we have now, but I'm not sure how that would be used in the actual game.
Also, weclome to the forums

Yeah, but not stretching in the form we want here. Also, that's just controlling how the body can be used on the engine, you can stretch and make your character taller in Icon/Facemaker/Char Creator but we want a stretching power, not a stretching of the body in that form. tl;dr, stretching the body and stretching as a power are not the same.

Despite GG's protestations, the degree to which a body model can be deformed is almost certainly not enough for the kind of animation I would want to see for this kind of powerset.
So, no, it probably isn't possible with the current graphics engine.

Well, yeah, stretching quarter of a mile to click a glowie is probably impossible - but smaller expansion probably isn't

o.O
quarter of a mile !? hahahahahah ... no no no, my idea was something about, what, 5 yd? 6? 10 yd for a 50 liv I've never though about the possibility to stretch a character for half Atlas city hahahaha
My idea was something like (grafically) martial art + spines + plant control more or less
other 2 things that I wish to ask for game are reguarding costumes ...
- why it's not possible to have a customize sleeveless shirt/tight !?
- why a male character can't have more long hair apart from "long", "barbarian" and "ponytail" ?
them lasher things that hang about with CoT in CoV have strech attack with there tonuges

MA, Spines and Plant have abseoutly nothing to do with stretching. MA is kicking, punching and whatnot, Spines are...spines and Plant is using the power of plants. I can't see any similarity to stretching, sorry.
have anyone ever think to create the power of "Streching" !?
I saw the Mr Fantastic from Marvel Ultime Alliance and I was to much happy in playing it so I think it cuold be a good idea also for CoH
