Grundy is the Jason Voorhees of DC, he can't truly die but his life ended long ago, he does not try to rejoin society, he merely plagues it.
Lol facts bro !
If he’s Jason of DC….what is doomsday?
@brendaspence1824 counter question, which one of the is older? Grundy is Jason OG, Doomsday is an alien upgrade of him.
@@brendaspence1824 Zeiram. Japan's unstoppable killer alien lol (no seriously Zeiram tanked the destruction of a space station the explosion of which was essentially five nukes he then survives being hurtled through the vacuum of space AND free fall re-entry into a planets atmosphere as well as the impact at beyond terminal velocity THEN he gets up walks off like nothing happened )
@@brianjohnson5272that's an extreme over simplification
Grundy is indeed given wood-like resistance against the ring because of the swamp matter entering his body, but his "plant-like" abilities come from the Baron of York injecting him with chlorophyll.
This is also the reason given for Grundy not only being resistant to the power of the green ring but feeding of it, implying that it is the chlorophyll's doing. This is incredibly ironic given that chlorophyll absorbs all the visible spectrum BUT the green part, hence why it appears so green.
Grundy is the perfect template for a comic book villain. He's vaguely magical, which means Superman (who has always had trouble with magic) can't easily defeat him. And yet, Batman (who doesn't care about magic) can sometimes beat him. He can be 'killed' but comes back (a staple of many comic heroes and villains). Because his return involves a form of reincarnation, the character can be changed to suit the story.
Lol has nothing to do with it. Magic is different than physical damage. Grundy would destroy batman like Bane. Superman could fry grundy from sky if he wanted.
@@JosephHandibode except for the events in the countless comics just talked about...
The version of Solomon Grundy who saved Hawkgirl’s life was so wonderful.
I had to fight back tears that episode.
@@sgtslaughter54 "bird nose"😢
JEWISH OWNED COMICS.
THERE ARE NO WHITE SUPER HEROES.
BRUCE WAYNE
PETER PARKER
CLARK KENT
🇮🇱👈🤣
Yeah it was definitely a great episode showed Grundy still had some humanity in him
Aye he was Truly Awesome in the JL cartoon back then
👊😌
Grundy was pretty far ahead of the "zombie craze". He is very different from the average zombie also. Mainly, he doesn't eat people or brains,if he does he always comes back sometimes with different personalities.
SF writer Alfred Bester was a genius in creating a character that ante-dated the Hulk in terms of strength while getting away with such a character at the height of the Comics Code Authority's crackdown against "the walking dead"
So he is a revanent.
The OG idea of flesh-eating zombies was actually supposed to make them ghouls... but Mr. R. didn't believe anyone would know what a ghoul was, so he called his "living dead" monsters "zombies" because people knew zombies were the "living dead" types... thus having pop-culture forever calling things that are TECHNICALLY "ghouls" what they are called today... "zombies".
@@iwasanangryyoungman yes he was
@@That80sGuy1972 couldn't have said that better myself.👍🏽
SOLOMON GRUNDY finally getting the respect he deserves
I remember one story where Grundy fought amazo and even though amazo ripped him apart Grundy was still able to reattach his arms and ripped amazo to pieces
To call Grundy a villian is a bit like assigning malice to a tornado.
Correct Grundy and doomsday are forces of nature at this point neither good nor evil they just are. Though they cause mass destruction they do it on pure instinct with no actual coherent thoughts behind it.
This guy almost stopped Amazo, the strongest DCAU character.
Unbelievable
He beat A.M.A.Z.O in his graphic novel
Amazo is unbelievably op'ed
I died once.
I found it very liberating.
Grundy is what ever the story needs him to be that is why he is immortal
In universe reasons and out of universe reasons are not the same thing
@@tonybrewer7536 yes, yes they are.
@@pata6129 dang. Got me there
Nice in depth on Grundy. 🤘🤘 Just one problem..Grundy first appears in All American Comics in 1944..way before even Night of the Living Dead.
I love how Grundy's strength varies but in story wise he gets stronger every time he dies and comes back to life. I'm wondering if he was forced through continuous evolution like Doomsday, Grundy could possibly be as much of a threat as Doomsday.
Solomon Grundy vs doomsday would be cool to see since they both have the almost the same recantation. Except Doomsday can’t die the same way
Fav comic is 3 part graphic novel JUSTICE. Art by Doug Braithwait & Alex Ross - Grundy fights Superman along with Metallo Bizarro & Parasite. Just amazing...
"He's an unstoppable force for some of the most powerful members of the DCU"but the Bat can put him down with a punch, double chop to the neck and a kick in the stomach 😂
Batman's fan power is beyond ridiculous
"cause im Batman"
He couldn't be able to handle a bunch of meddling kids and their dog
Well it is Batman
@@PissBreakSupervisorWell obviously, why would he feel the need? They've worked together to stop Joker at least 3 times. That's not counting any crossovers outside television. He trusts them far to much to even consider fighting em.
The Justice League DCAU is well written and his design in Arkham City looks awesome. Kinda wish we could have both.
Zombie culture is relatively new. Solomon Grundy has been around far longer than that.
You left out Grant Morrison's total retcon of Solomon Grundy in his Seven Soldiers of Victory series, where the entities responsible for the maintenance of time take one of their members who had gone rogue and turn him into Solomon Grundy, revealing that it was really this rogue "time tailor" all along, with Cyrus Gold just being a cover story used to hide the reality of the situation. Essentially, they retroactively changed Solomon Grundy's identity.
@@shinken6636 Still counts. After Grant Morrison wrote himself into Animal Man, DC wrote his comic book version into Suicide Squad and killed him off. So even if it's "meta," it still counts according to DC.
"The villainous character of Swamp Thing"?
Tell whoever the researchers are to try reading an actual comic. 😂😂😂
I'm sorry- did you refer to Swamp thing as a villain? Who are you Union Carbine or something?
The mystical energy he’s talking about is “the gray” just like swamp-thing is reanimated by “the green” it’s a mystical elemental entity
I think depending on the version of Grundy especially if brought back by dark magic is why he could beat Superman since Superman does have a weakness to magic
I always thought the swamp was a like a Lazarus pit that became a swamp over many years
That would be cool
The theory I like is that he is an avatar of the gray the aspect of decay
I've always understood Grundy's transformation as being the result of numerous things. Like, it's Gotham, and they've confirmed that Gotham has a Lazarus Pit over and over. So the Arkhamverse connection to the pits makes sense across the multiverse. But Slaughter Swamp is notoriously polluted. I've always taken Grundy as being a 33/33/33 of Lazarus Pit juice seeping into the swamp, pollution dumped into the swamp, and some work on the part of the Green. That's why he's ULTRA immortal but it's so broken. He's got numerous sources causing his immortality, but they don't play together. It's a watered down, polluted Lazarus Pit purely in the domain of the Green.
Furthermore, I've always felt like the pollution is from Ace Chemicals, and it's Joker juice. Just makes sense for the location. Mixing Joker juice with Lazarus Pit juice into some horrid sludge diluted by water and owned by the Green.
Bruce Camble should include Solomon in his next Sgt.Rock comic.
They should have put him in the Batman 2
I love this character, i grew up with the Justice League in the mid 2000's etc when his backstory was a Gangster.
Mans spent 50years in a Lazarus Pit
I think he is really similair to The Swamp Thing and probably get his powers also from The Green.
Only instead of controlling plantlife he's just really strong, tough and immortal. As in he CAN die but he is always resurrected.
Atleast until he became one of the Black Lanterns and Bizarro tossed him into the sun.
Because Cyrus's soul was now in Hell and Grundy's body is destroyed - he can no longer come back.
Best thing about grundy is a brilliantly simple chareter. That is what makes him great.
Love your videos fam keep doing your thing 💯💪
First few seconds in, and the way Solomon grundy says "married on Wednesday" with such rage is abnormally funny to me
They forgot the age old question...."Does Solomon Grundy still want PANTS?!?"😆
Solomon Grundy from the actual DC Zombie Undead (DCEASED) Comic Run was by far the best. He saves so many kids and innocent lives before sacrificing himself. RIP TREE LOBSTER
Grundy isn't as much a zombie as he is a revenant like Jason Voohees.
Hope to see Grundy in future dc films
How about casting Triple H from the WWE
they should put him as the main villain in the next batman movie. grundy is murdering people around the city and batman is hunting him down. grundy should be lurking and like a horror movie killer
Awesome
Grundy preceeds the modern zombie craze by decades. He is in no way DC's "response" to that trend.
There's a comic I read once with a character like Grundy. I swear it was a Spider-Man comic from the library and it opened with a mafia party getting shot up and all the bosses were dumped ina hole in the desert. Not long after there was some kind of waste spill and it mutated the bodies in to one huge guy. I vividly remember one panel where a detective is analyzing the finger prints of this monster crushed into a steel beam and commenting how each finger had the finger print of a different mob boss.
I can't for the life of me remember what the rest of the comic was
DC should do a Solomon Grundy movie like the one they did for the Joker. A weird character study without the superhero stuff
Grundy is a good character and i never knew he was zombie but i feel as though he should of had at least a decent intellect because now i view him as zombie Hulk which isn't too bad.
Did you intend on calling Swamp Thing a villain?
I seem the first scene super stone while a friend played the game. It was intense to say the least.
I really liked the Arkham city version because they were definitely inspired by Frankenstein. The worst version was the dc rebirth look they did
Hulk vs Grundy vs juggernaut that would be interesting
Juggernaut wins, no question.
Jugg clears solomon is leaving the battle first then its a 1000 year battle between hulk and jugs with juggs edging out the win as long as there's no PIS going on.
Solomon Grundy has always been one of my favorite characters. I don't consider him a true villian though as he just wants to be left alone.
fun fact: the voice actor who plays Grundy is Fred Tatasciore,the same voice actor who play Hulk :D
Easy, Grundy Comes Back. Cause He Born On A Monday and Died on Tuesday!
He actually died on a Saturday. It's from an old English nursery rhyme from 1850 or some such. Just in case you were curious.
It's odd that you called SwampThing a villain, he's not. Also, when talking about the Original Green Lantern Alen Scott, you're spot on but he's doesn't belong to the Green Lantern Corps. Nore is his ring a true green lantern power ring. So, the things you said about the green lanterns aren't true. Other than that it was a wonderful video.
Thank you. I'm not an expert but I did read GL for a while as a teen. As I remember it certain rings had different abilities. Like Kyle Rayner's original ring didn't have a weakness to yellow, but Hal Jordan's ring could duplicate itself. So in one story they swap rings so Hal can defeat sinestro, and Kyle can recreate the GL core.
I didn't know about Alan Scott not having a real GL ring but I remember the whole weakness to wood thing was unique to him.
I remember this dude because I got him in injustice
VILLAINOUS character of Swamp Thing?!
What?!
Also, the OG Green Lantern's weakness was wood. Considering Grundy is partially made of plants and WOOD, his ring cannot do much about it. That is the real explanation.
This. I'm pretty sure this channel adds intentional mistakes and typo's for engagement.
@@sativaburns6705 First and last video I watched of them. Lol
I hope they make a Grundy movie it could be brilliant
Damn grundy is a beast 😲💪
I wonder if the swap that spawned him was destroyed and he was killed…would Solomon Grundy return. 🤔🤔
Did he have any interaction with the black lantern rings? I never got a round to reading Blackest Night or even know if the black lantern corps is still a thing after.
The fact they didn’t add the famous “ Solomon Grundy want pants too” commercial from boomerang line at some point is a disappointment.
I like when he helps the good guys ^_^
Heated "alterations?" Do you mean altercations? Also, I'm not sure I've ever heard zombie hoardes described as "unanimous." Do you have any idea what these "big" words you keep using actually mean?
cool characteres
Solomon Grundy is that dude
Can't Stop Don't Stop Won't stop.
Grundy
Honestly I want him to show up in Young Justice as a member of The Light, in his more intelligent persona. Use that story from the comics where he tries to take over Red Tornado's body so we Never Dies again, or just use that as inspiration
I think more than half of DC's super villain and super heroes rooster is basically: *A chemical did it*
Boom! done.
Joker? chemical.
Freeze? chemical.
Baine? ... don't even mention him.
Deathstroke? chemical.
Grundy? LITERALLY MARINATED IN SWAMP SOUP MYSTIC CHEMICALS
Love it, just throw some X concoction to someone and make easy villains and heroes.
Grundy always comes back because every year on Christmas and Thanksgiving a meal from a certain brooding rich boy, awaits him in his sewers.
Also because he doesn't want to be alone he just wants to be by himself, like guys with their girls lol, I want you around not in my face hahha.
I would like to see Constantine's take on grundy..maybe some insight into his creation
For a zombie, there have been more than one instances in animated shows of him getting knocked out by gas. Kind of half assed, IMO.
Gold was a gangster that has long died in slaughter swamp. He is kinda sympathetic character
How come? :) By the power of writing.
Where are you getting those skeleton images from?
He was born on a Monday, everybody hates Mondays 🤷🏿♂
The actual bad guy is the swamp that keeps respawning Grundy. I mean, his body is obviously not important to his existence at all, and that very swamp keeps respawning him in different forms. That sounds more like a necromancer who keeps sending an undead super-being they create, and later making a new one when the old one gets taken down.
Never knew about Grundy until Batman: Arkham City video game. And then there was Injustice: Gods among us video game, where Grundy was too. And basically, he is a zombie Hulk, been resurrected by some magic.
By the way, would be cool to know some info about Prometheus. I found out about him from Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, where you can unlock some bonus art and information about him, that says that he is opposite to Batman. Like, he is basically an evil version of Batman, with the same level of skills. This i wonder, what is he? Would be good to know.
I mean he was all over the comics for years, and then there was the JLU animated show
But yeah, nobody knew about him until Arkham City, sure
@@ComicBookGuy420 First of all, i didn't said that nobody knew. I said that I didn't knew about him until that game.
Second, i didn't read comic books. Heck, here in Ukraine, many kids didn't read them. Cause everyone was playing outside, hanging out around or was watching cartoons on TV and playing old 8 or 16 bit video games. And so did I. Most of my childhood was playing outside, or sitting at home with my friends, playing video games or watching cartoons and favorite movies about superheroes.
And third, i didn't saw him in JLU animated series because, they didn't show all seasons of it here on TV. So up until i hit 13 (if i remember correctly) and got my first PC as a birthday gift, and finally got to Batman Arkham Asylum video game, i had no idea, who Prometheus was. But then again, game doesn't provide you too much info on him. So yeah, talking about him in video and exploring his origin and everything else, would be nice.
@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 I spent time in Ukraine about 15 years ago and my little cousins were watching JLU and reading comics, anyway
If you want to learn about Grundy the data packets in the games are one way to go, but there are a lot of fan sites all over the internet that would give you a complete picture
Nothing beats the comics of course but Grundy been around for a fair while, the net has pretty complete profiles on him
@@ComicBookGuy420 If some random kid somewhere in one of our cities are riding one comic book, that doesn't mean that everyone does. In my region, none of the guys who i hang out with read the comic books.
And i know about info from different websites, but i already know everything i need to know about Solomon Grundy. Sure, i could read about other characters as well, but i rather see the informative video because, first of all, i'm not always like to read something, and second i have eyesight problems, so reading too many text on the screen will hurt my eyes. And i don't want that because it is very painful. Like, imagine reading tons of text of white background for a while, or on black background with eyesight problems. Trust me, it hurts. But watching video from a distance, and listening to what author says, is the better way out of this. For me at least.
Besides, Marvelous Videos is a cool and informative channel. So, for them it would be a great idea to give many people more cool content, and for us it would be a fine way to find out more interesting info.
@@deathcold_longplaysua4846 for someone who doesn't have much access, you seem to have a lot of access
Oh well, next time I won't bother trying to help
I wish this guy would differentiate between old and new continuity hes trying to tie it all in but forgets the whole universe bas been re written like 100 times lol.
I feel like they really should make Solomon Grundy the main antagonist of a Batman live action movie at some point. Batman could just keep running into situations where the big mutant zombie man either is, was, or will be, and unveil that in each of these places the mobsters are part of his old gang, and he has a vendetta. Batman then is left wondering whether he should even bother trying to stop Grundy, but knows that failing to do so would mean lives will be taken, even if they are the lives of criminals. By the end he might even help Grundy find peace in who he once was, putting him in Arkham Asylum to relearn who he is and who he wants to be in spite of his zombified brain.
This channel must be Intentionally including mistakes for engagement? Sometimes it's typo's or out of place words, sometimes it's calling swamp thing a dc "villain" , in a video already talking about DC.
I could of sworn Grundy was a agent of the Grey not the green.
does anyone know how many times this guy said the same thing in a different way when talking about grundy's resistance to the lantern rings?
Solomon grundy is an actual zombie. I dig him. Literally
Solomon Grundy if he continues to gain power every time he’s defeated he’d be stronger then most kind of like doomsday.
maybe only the first incarnation was cyrus gold. i mean there were other corpses in the swamp and there isn't really a standout reason why only gold would be affected by the swamps effect. maybe grundy is in fact an amalgam of all the corpses and each incarnation draws on slightly different characteristics because of that. could also be that cyrus gold was simply the strongest influence because he was the freshest corpse when the first incarnation happened.
In the Arkham City: Order of the World #3, it's more or less implied to be the case. Grundy holds of memories from insane people that died in Gotham. This ties in with the canon established in the '90s Starman run in which he has different personalities. Gold's corpse was the original Grundy from the '40s, but we know that Grundy can respawn regardless of what happens to his body. It's a safe bet that Gold's original corpse is long gone.
Do anatomy on the Sandman
No mention of the Grey?
I want a movie where it's The Joker pairing up with Grundy. But all the adds for the movie are showing a cat and mouse game between the Justice League, or even just BM and SM, and the Joker. Never once do they show Grundy in the adds but on the final add they show SM getting tossed through a building or the earth and he's just a bloody mess. Build the hype for those who know who Grundy is and make fans of the movies start guessing if it's a bigger threat.
I want a live action mob movie about a mafioso named "Saul" Grunde. He keeps trying to correct the pronunciation to Grundy but gets cut off due to a lack of respect. Twist comes when he screws up for the last time and the mob kills him and dumps his body in the swamp. The last thing he hears is his real name. "So long Solomon!" Cut to black and cue the rhyme.
"heated alterations " lmao
That woman he married in wednesday needs to go to prison
Grundy was only 2 days old
does grundy have a resistance to the green lantern power ring? didnt catch it in the video
It was covered in the video. The original Green Lantern ring was weak against Grundy became the swamp matter in his body made Grundy invulnerable to it because the ring had no effect on wood material. In the New Earth 2 continuity, Grundy was the Avatar of the Grey (the Rot in NE2 continuity) which was the polar opposite of the Green Lantern ring which was powered by the Green (in NE2, the Green wasn't just plants but "Life force").
@@larquefausse3623 ahh i see, so just to double check, grundy has a resistance to the green lantern power ring
@@baphomet1149 :
Yes, when you're talking about Alan Scott's ring powered by a piece of the Starheart which works different than the Lantern Corps rings powered by the Central Power Battery. Grundy hasn't shown any particular resistance to the Lantern Corps rings.
Some random hero: I woke up violent.
Grundy: That was a Tuesday for me
WHAT IF THE CHEMICAL ELEMENTS FROM THE LAZARUS PIT GOT SMUGGLED OVER THE SWAMP CREATING SWAMP THING AND SOLOMON GRUNDY .... JAMES GUNN DO SCREW THIS UP I GOT FAITH IN YOU DCU
I love your channel. You guys need to do more homework. Number one. Swamp thing is not a villain. Number two. The bounty was 1 billion dollars. Number three. Scott's ring is magic based. And the guardians of the
Universe, Power rings. Are based. On the emotional spectrum, of willpower.
Imagine how bad it would be if joker was the one threw into the swamp xD I wonder how screwed we would all be
What would happen if he stumbled across the Lazarus Pits?
If I had to describe Grundy, he would be an evil Avatar of The Green, created and enhanced by his own Will.
Now I want to see Grundy take a Lantern Ring.
Is it possible that somehow a mixture of The Lazirus Pit fell into the mud that Gold's body was thrown into and caused him to return as a ZOMBIE?!
He has the Kenny McCormick gene going on
The one Hero Solemn Grundy should not fight is John Constantine.
Yeah John wins and then gets drunk and laid. Lol 😆
Not gonna lie, I was getting some God of War vibes, as if listening to Mimir talk about Baldr while watching this vidio...
