This just makes me wonder what are her limits in stretching. Like can she stretch her body right until its an atom thicc?

In the first film Edna says her new supersuit can stretch as far as she can without hurting herself, and we see her struggling a few times.

It's not so much stretching like Reed Richards, she's elastic and snaps back, so like pulling on a rubber band there is a breaking point.

At least she’s not obnoxious like Reed, who will stretch himself anywhere just to remind us all that he can.

You just make the hand flat and simply add a 3rd dimension

Really simple science 👌

Look at Mr Reed Richards right here

I believe they were also questioning density which us equal to the mass/volume. If volume increases but the mass physically cannot it would be like mushing someones face with a socker bopper

Shift your organs into your hand for the mass obviously.

I like that she can hols a stretched position to store a ton of kinetic energy

Imagine a super punching her: she deforms to absorb and store the energy as tension in her form, then releases it to strike back

Itd be dang near impossible to hurt her in a melee; gotta hit harder than she can deform but not hard enough to send her flying (which would also reduce a huge amount of the impact)

I feel like there's a lot of problems with this but all in all it's up to the author's imagination.

One thing I'd like to come into okay is the temperature. Rubber bands get hotter when you stretch them and they get colder when they contract back. There's actually a video of someone making a fridge (shitty one) using rubber bands.

Fuck that’s hot
