It has recently occurred to me how many characters have last names ending in "man":

Newman Joe Bookman Mr. Lippman J. Peterman Feldman (Bizarro Kramer) Fardman (furniture designer)

Any others?

No, I think it was Elastic Man, not Rubber Man. Jerry in "The Statue" comments to Elaine how Ray managed to clean this narrow space in his kitchen. He mentions that Ray is like Elastic Man, then reverses himself. "There is no Elastic Man. There's a Plastic Man."

He also mentions Superman, Batman, and Elastic Man in his closing monologue of "The Cafe."

I agree that Elaine says something about Plastic Man, but I'm certain that the name Jerry first mentions is Rubber Man, not Elastic Man. Can someone back me up on this?

It's Farbman -- from episode 141 -- The Checks

ELAINE: So, your firm designed all the furniture in here?

BRETT: We manufacture it. The original designs are by Karl Farbman.

Elaine and Brett sit on a couch

ELAINE: (as if she knows) Oh, Farbman.

BRETT: You know Farbman?

ELAINE: Mm, love Farbman.

BRETT: Most people go their whole lives without sitting in a Farbman.

ELAINE: Wuh, if you call that living. (laughs) Ahaha.

Music begins to play. It's The Eagles' Desperado. Brett hears the music and is enraptured. He stares off into the distance, oblivious to everything but the song.

ELAINE: Wouldn't it be great if Farbman designed shoes?

You are right. There is a pattern - so many "..man's" is this a sexist plot? Is Jerry a anti-genderist?

Impressive list, however, I believe it was "Madam Foreperson" in The Final.
