The Elongated Man a. k. a. Ralph Dibny, a DC Comics superhero, appears in several episodes of the Justice League Unlimited animated series, voiced by Jeremy Piven.
This is the first television series in which he has made an appearance. He appears in various episodes in the background, but Elongated Man has only three speaking roles.
Although his uniform has the initials "EM", in the series, he is never actually called Elongated Man, he is only called Ralph. This and the fact that he doesn't wear a mask indicate that his identity is openly known as in the modern comics.

Elongated Man first appears in Initiation but his first spoken lines are in The Greatest Story Never Told, in which he and Booster Gold complain about being put on crowd control during a massive battle with Mordru. Although the episode follows Booster's efforts to stop a parallel crisis unknown to the League, Elongated Man is called to the front lines at the begining of the episode. By the end of the episode, after Booster solves his crisis, Ralph is being celebrated b the League and it is revealed that he defeats Mordru offscreen by "stretching at the right moment".
In his second voiced appearance (The Ties That Bind), the Elongated Man and The Flash express concern about the fact that some other members of the League don't show them enough respect. The Flash goes on to save the day while the Elongated Man sits the mission out.
His last vocal appearance, (Clash) his powers are stolen by The Parasite, who uses them to nearly defeat Metamorpho and Batman before the timely intervention of Captain Marvel. He is quick to celebrate the rookie young hero.
