Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
That was the end
Of Solomon Grundy.
This week's Cullination Royalty goes to Solomon Grundy. At first, a nursery rhyme in 1842. Later, DC Comics made him into a strong zombie-like super villain. First being used against the Green Lantern known as Alan Scott in 1944, but is now usually a villain against the always popular hero, Batman.
Abilities: Super Strength, Super Endurance, Healing Factor, and Self-Resurrection.
First Appearance: All-American Comics #61 (October 1944)
Despite his strength and endurance, Batman always seems to beat him pretty easily. In the story arc, Long Halloween, Batman defeats Solomon Grundy by shooting some mace in his eyes. This causes Solomon Grundy to run away. That's not very "monster-like" to me. In the story arc, Blackest Night, Solomon Grundy gets defeated once again by Bizarro.
In my opinion, Solomon Grundy is very underrated and deserves more than he gets. He is a monster that is half plant and half zombie! He doesn't even have a heart beat, which means he doesn't need to even breath! So that means he can be easily defeated by everyone? Come on, DC! No wonder most people like Marvel better! Solomon Grundy needs to have a good story that will get him noticed because he deserves it! But don't worry, Solomon Grundy. We will still give you a week of Royalty on Cullination!
Come back on Tuesday as Solomon Grundy's Cullination Royalty continues!
