Swamp Thing is Alec Holland, a brilliant scientist whose apparent death led to the birth of a powerful plant elemental connected to the Green, the mystical force linking all plant life. Although he retains Holland's memories and humanity, he serves as nature's guardian rather than an ordinary superhero. His stories blend horror, fantasy, and environmental themes as he battles supernatural threats and those who endanger the natural world. Few beings in the DC Universe rival his command over plant life and the forces of nature.
