Bing Lang (Big Long of the fantastic four)
Big Long was a super stretchy member of the Fantastic Four who hunted parasites and villains. Because of his stretchiness he could quickly reduce accumulations of himself in one location and quickly promote movement of qi to another location. He he would stretch across the ocean to Africa just to vomit and/or pee... and he would often check malarial disorders while he was there.
You should ha seen what happened when he found out his wife was pregnant (cc: pregnancy) - his middle jiao literally sank to the floor!! (cc: caution in sinking of middle jiao)
