Character information
Name: Swamp Thing
Series: Hellblazer
Tier: Specialist

Swamp Thing is an avatar of the Green, the elemental force connecting all plant life on Earth, and occasional ally of John Constantine in the Hellblazer comic book series.

Modus operandi

As the avatar of the Green, Swamp Thing has complete control over all plant life. This allows him to move anywhere on Earth almost instantly by leaving his physical body, traveling through the Green and reforming a new body using plant matter wherever he needs to be. He can also extend his roots into people's bodies in order to take over their biological functions, either to provide life support or to take complete control of their body.

Swamp Thing's godlike powers make him a valuable "ally" of Constantine, who will occasionally rely on him to fight or scare off supernatural threats. Because Constantine often relies on deceit and manipulation to get his help, however, Swamp Thing is constantly wary and suspicious of the man's intentions.
