This hero was proposed but rejected by the community for not being admirable enough or lacks what is necessary to be a purely good hero. Therefore, this hero shall be added to our "Never Again List", where proposed heroes rejected by the community shall be placed to prevent future proposals of the same do-gooder. They can be proposed again (with the permission of an administrator) if new elements appear in their series that can change their status as non-PG heroes.

Any act of adding this hero to the Pure Good category without a proposal or creating a proposal for this hero without the permission of an administrator will result in a ban.
Additional Notice: This template is meant for admin maintenance only. Users who misuse the template will be blocked for a week minimum.

Hero Overview

After all the suffering... and horror... I have witnessed... it is good... to see so many people... in one place... having a good time...
~ Swamp Thing
The swamp, is my world. It is who I am... it is what I am. I was once a man. I know the evil men do. Do not bring your evil here, I warn you. Beware the wrath of... Swamp Thing!
~ Swamp Thing (Narrated in the 1990 TV Series)
"Good? Bad? I care little for humanity. But I do care... when my swamp burns!"
~ Swamp Thing in Injustice 2

Swamp Thing is a superhero in the DC Universe. He is elemental-swamp monster that often absorbers the memories of many people, most notably Dr. Alec Holland. He is also the partner of John Constantine and Animal Man.

Portrayals

  • Ray Wise - 1st titular film (1982)
  • Dick Durock - The Return of Swamp Thing (1989) and 1990 titular TV series
  • Len Carlson - voice; 1991 TV cartoon

Origin

Once, there was a man. A man named Alec Holland.

A brilliant scientist, Holland was perfecting a formula designed to turn deserts bloated with forests... until a bomb planted by enemies destroyed his lab, lighting him on fire. In desperation, Alec fled into the swamp, hoping to put the flames out. Though he was too late to save his own life, the Parliament of Trees transferred his memories into a new body made entirely of vegetation. Initially thinking himself to be merely transformed into a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man", Alec sought to return to his human form... only to discover the truth years later.

Now, Alec protects the swamp from those who would harm both it and its inhabitants. Do NOT bring your evil into the swamp... or else, you'll face the wrath of... the Swamp Thing!
