On further viewings, I wonder if they had intended to use Plastic Man in that episode but changed it in the last minute. They even placed him next to Katana here. That's the kind of set up that usually pays off later. But instead, Metamorpho appears out of the blue in episode 10 and does everything that Plastic Man could do. Correct me if I'm work, but isn't his shtick elemental transmutation? He didn't do anything that gas bombs couldn't do. Instead, he shape-shifted into object and hide in plain site, ala Plas.

I know this is unlikely, knowing how Greg and Brandon plan in advance, but still he seems like a last minute addition to make a forced nod to original Outsiders line-up.
