Cullination Royalty: Solomon Grundy Part 2

WELCOME TO PART 2 OF SOLOMON GRUNDY'S CULLINATION ROYALTY

PART 2: WHY SHOULD YOU LOVE HIM?

Solomon Grundy is a half plant, half zombie...guy!   He is a beast!  Given super strength, super endurance, a healing factor, and to top it all off...he can regenerate limbs!  That's more than enough reasons as to why people should love him.  Solomon Grundy doesn't even need to eat, sleep, or breathe to survive!  You try doing that!  I dare you because you are certainly NO Solomon Grundy.

This Goliath of a super villain has been underrated since his creation in 1944.  The only reason writers still use him is because he has been around the DC Universe for so long.  That is a sad fact.  Solomon Grundy should be up there in the ranks of the Joker, Bane, Sinestro, maybe even Doomsday!  

It is truly sad to think that after all these years with Solomon Grundy he hasn't caught a decent break to get noticed.  There are several Batman villains that are very well know.  Names such as The Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, and of course The Joker come to mind.  But what do these characters all have in common that Solomon Grundy doesn't have?  If you think about it, all of those names above do not have much of a fight in them (one of them uses an umbrella that shoots bullets for crying out loud!)  Grundy has brute strength!  It should take a lot of fire power and more than three people to take him down.  Although Grundy is not too bright...that's okay.  This is because (I'm going to jump to Marvel for a second) The Hulk is very much like Solomon Grundy.  The difference is that The Hulk has to breath, and he cannot self-resurrect his limbs and his life!  In multiple occasions, it takes the entire Avengers or The Ultimates to take The Hulk down!  So my question is, why is it not taking the entire Justice League to take down Solomon Grundy?  If you read Part 1 of Solomon Grundy's Royalty, I mentioned how Solomon Grundy was defeated by getting sprayed in the eyes with mace in the Long Halloween story arc.  That's ridiculous!  Grundy is a monster and should be treated as such!  He should be able to take out teams, armies, even Leagues!  

Come back on Friday as Solomon Grundy's Cullination Royalty continues!
