Solomon Grundy
A chalk-white behemoth, the monstosity known as Solomon Grundy is one of the world's most fearsome monsters. Originally born Cyrus Gold, he was murdered over 100 years ago in Slaughter Swamp, just outside of Gotham City. Revived through unknown forces, the remains of Mr. Gold were reshaped into a hulkish entity that was dimwitted, but deadly. Gangsters encountering the creature named him Solomon Grundy, after a nursery rhyme. Using Solomon Grundy as their enforcer, the gang and Grundy ran into the original Green Lantern, who narrowly bested Grundy. From that point on, Solomon Grundy swore revenge on Green Lantern, and other heroes.
Over the many years, Solomon Grundy has clashed with several super heroes, including the entire Justice Society of America, both Dr. Fate and Hourman, and of course, Superman. The battles between Superman and Solomon Grundy are legendary, as they are two of Earth's strongest beings. Despite his brutish appearance and lowbrow intellect, Grundy has held his own against the Man of Steel.
Most recently, Solomon Grundy appeared as a part of the crazed world created by The Joker and Mr. Mxyzptlk. Whether this will signal yet another encounter between The Man of Steel and The Monster from Slaughter Swamp, has yet to be revealed.
First Appearance: All-American Comics #61
