For a brief time, Grundy was the avatar of "The Grey," an elemental force which connected him to Earth's energies and opposed the life giving "Green," a power wielded by Swamp Thing. Grundy was introduced as a repeated adversary of the Golden Age Green Lantern, Alan Scott, who struggled against him thanks to his universal invulnerability which rendered the magic of Scott's Green Lantern ring all but useless.
As the DC Universe expanded through the '40s and '50s, Grundy became a foe for more heroes, including the roster of the Justice Society of America, which occasionally forced him through the multiverse and onto different versions of Earth. Grundy's healing factor and strength made him a difficult creature to keep contained for any amount of time.
One of the favorite "prisons" for Grundy was actually the moon, where he would be deposited after a defeat before he inevitably found a way to return to Earth either under his own power or at the behest of someone else hoping to use him as a weapon.
Grundy's base instincts and traditional lack of free thought made him an easy target for manipulation and on-again-off-again ally of villainous cabals like the Injustice League. However, he was equally likely to switch sides if given proper motivation by any Super Hero. Jade, the daughter of Alan Scott, once saved Grundy's "life" when he became stranded on a glacier, causing him to become loyal to her for a time -- an ironic twist considering his historical grudge against her father.
Later, he gained temporary sentience and engineered a plot to draw Red Tornado's creator, Dr. Ivo, out into the open. When Grundy dies, he eventually rises again, emerging from the depths of his original resting place in the swamp to wreak havoc on the living. Sometimes he returns a mindless monster, destroying everything in his path.
But no matter the changes in his personality, he always has the same superhuman strength, stamina and near indestructibility, and his desires remain evil and corrupt. He is a monster—an invulnerable one that will keep coming back again…and again…. Do you share a birthday with a DC creator or character in September? Cyrus Gold. We don't know if Solomon Grundy will be operating alone in Stargirl or if he will be part of the insidious Injustice Society.
The undead figure might not be a villain at all. But with many of the Justice Society's members poised to appear alongside Courtney Whitmore in the new series, they will likely find that the former Cyrus Gold is a threat not to be underestimated.
