An undead monster, and an enemy of Batman and the Justice League.
Description[]
Solomon Grundy is tall, broad and heavy and has the look of a Frankenstein-like monster with gray hair. His black jacket and trousers are torn and ragged and are too short for his arms and legs. In a deep voice, he speaks in a simple, childlike way and his main motivation is to fight his enemies, the superheroes. Batman calls him a "soulless undead animal" and Grundy identifies with the undead, declaring himself to be their king in one story. However, he has enough conscience and goodness to recognise the spirit of Christmas and to show kindness to children.
His powers are his bulk, aggression, immense strength and perhaps an inability to be killed (because he is already dead). He can get the better of Swamp Thing in a fist fight and can sucker punch Superman, but can be wrestled to the ground by Batman, brought down by Green Arrow's tranquilizer arrows, or frozen by a Bat-bomb. It is possible for him to be held in captivity, as we see him in a cell at Arkham Asylum and are also told he can be kept at S.T.A.R. Labs, presumably for scientific research.
Solomon Grundy shows himself to be knowledgeable of arcane matters when he uses the Star of the Dead diamond in conjunction with a mystic eclipse to raise an army of zombies.

Notes[]
- Solomon Grundy's name comes from a nursery rhyme about a character whose seven main lifetime events occur on different days of the week. The amnesiac, comic book Grundy adopts the name because the only thing he can remember is that he was born on the same day of the week as that character.
- Fred Tatasciore also voiced The Hulk.
