Solomon Grundy is part zombie and part plant, a bizarre, centuries-old half-human life form filled with confused anger. At times he is a rampaging monster, at others a more reserved, single-minded beast. Solomon Grundy's enhanced strength makes him a threat even to the DC Universe's strongest heroes.
Massive injuries can't kill him; afterwards, he simply regenerates and rises again. Beware his low growl of Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday...
Background[]
In 1894, corrupt merchant Cyrus Gold was killed by robbers outside Gotham Town. However, when his corpse sunk into Slaughter Swamp, supernatural forces returned Gold as a zombie-like creature. Adopting the name Solomon Grundy, after the nursery rhyme “Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday”, Gold continually returns after death in a new body and personality.
