I don't know if I'm allowed to vote for myself, but if I am, count this as a vote. If not, just pay attention to what reasons I give to prove my victory.

Firstly, the military mind and access to military-grade explosives. Look, an innovative mind is the first step to battle. Superheroes usually fight criminals, and the occasional supervillian. My superhero fights the Nazi war machine. When you combine his sheer ingenuity - both on the scale of designing weapons that will scare the enemy sh**less and on the scale of actual battlefield tactics, Professor Stretch will have Ethank's cooking teacher served on a silver platter for dinner.

My explosives are nothing like you've ever seen before. Stretch has designed blocks of plastic explosives that have individual charges, which set off separately. Basically, one block of modified C4 can explode multiple times before the li'l charge is all used up. He also carries incendiary weapons and standard frag grenades, as well as single-use explosives.

Finally, my powers are superior to Ethank's. I can stretch my body in disproportionate ways and still be unharmed; absorb/regenerate wounds, even from bullets or knives; explosives also are repelled by my body just like bullets or knives. Sheer amounts of firepower will certainly overwhelm me, and my asthma is something that would cause a nightmare in a midgame fight. However, I doubt Ethank has what it takes to get me.

P.S.: Ethank's "agility" and "thinness" that lets him squeeze in tight spots that others couldn't reach is completely countered by my extra-stretchy reach. So he's left with only 1 effective superpower. Keep that in mind when the rest of you vote.
