CAN'T STOP GRUNDY!

About Solomon Grundy[]

Way back in the past, Cyrus Gold was a wealthy merchant that had a relatively safe life in Gotham City. However, a group of criminals would kill him and dump him in Slaughter Swamp. Many years later, his body would be imbued with its vegetation, thus being resurrected as the monster Solomon Grundy. His name being a reference to the nursery rhyme, he would become a constant enemy with the first Green Lantern, Batman, and members of the Justice Society of America.

Biography[]

Main[]

When criminal Cyrus Gold was killed, his remains were resurrected by the powers of the swamp his body fell into. Becoming Solomon Grundy, the mindless brute wants to destroy all of Earth's heroes.

Regime[]

Since Solomon Grundy could not be killed, Superman had him undergo the same brainwashing procedure all Regime recruits must endure. He's now the faithful servant of the Man of Steel.

Injustice: Gods Among Us[]

The prime universe Solomon Grundy is shown invading the Watchtower along with Lex Luthor, Bane, and Catwoman. Later, Cyborg is shown fighting against him, with some success. After Batman arrived and defeated both Bane and Luthor, he is eventually subdued, and is seen going through Raven's portal to Arkham Asylum.

Powers and Abilities[]

Solomon Grundy is a unique zombie exposed to mystical forces from his 'birthplace' in Slaughter Swamp. As such, he possesses superhuman strength almost on par with the likes of Superman and Shazam's caliber of power, allowing him to go blow for blow with and even overpower demigods like Wonder Woman, and while he is technically dead, his warped body is so resilient and durable he is practically invulnerable to conventional harm. Whenever actually injured, or his body is damaged to the point of death again, Grundy can regenerate any lost flesh or limbs, even regrowing entire organs and a totally destroyed head. Aside from his great strength and regeneration powers, Grundy uses the various sharp implements impaled over his body and can even force his body to spew out rotten fumes from his back that are poisonous when inhaled.

Though powerful and almost impossible to kill permanently, Grundy is not considered a major threat by many due to his limited intelligence and the fact that lethal force can be used against him without actually killing him for good.

Special Moves[]

  • Cleaver Spin: Grundy rips a cleaver off his back and slashes his opponent in a sudden spinning strike. The Meter Burn version adds damage and causes the opponent to bounce.
  • Walking Corpse: Grundy grabs his opponent and headbutts them. The Meter burn version has Grundy grab the reeling opponent and throw them face first over his shoulder.
  • Grave Rot: Grundy emits a rotten fume from his body, damaging any nearby enemies. The Meter Burn version increases the damage of the fumes.
  • Dead Air: Grundy grabs his opponent and tosses them over his shoulder. The Meter Burn version has Grundy throw his opponent higher into the air.
  • Swamp Hands: Grundy stomps on the ground, causing a swamp puddle to appear under his opponent and for several rotten hands to attack them. The Meter Burn version has the arms hold Grundy's opponent in place.
  • To The Grave: Grundy grabs his midair enemy and throws them aside.

Mobile Exclusive Moves[]

  • Dead's Blood: Like a titan of old, Grundy demonstrates his raw strength by making both the ground and air tremble.

  • Can't Stop Grundy: Grundy overwhelms his opponents with a quick series of mauling attacks.

Super Move-1375505370

The Pain Chain: Solomon Grundy's character trait is a throw that can be linked with multiple other throws. Up to 3 types of throws can be chained into, each granting him a special ability, such as giving him a power boost, buffing his defense, or resisting chip damage. Spending meter for the initial grab of The Pain Chain will make the grab unblockable and give Grundy super armor.

Super Move[]

When Solomon Grundy activates his super move, he enters a new mode where he gains armor for a limited amount of time until his super meter is drained. In this armor, Grundy will not recieve any knockback and recieves a little bit of damage when hit. Any physical attack Solomon Grundy uses initiates his super move, no matter if his attacks connect in air or on the ground.

  • Grave Digger: Solomon Grundy pulls a cleaver out from his back and slices his enemy with it, he then proceeds to pick up the enemy and throw him/her. As the enemy gets up, Grundy pulls out a tombstone from his chest and smashes it over his/her head.

Ending[]

The battle over, Grundy eluded capture and returned to his swamp to heal his wounds. During regeneration, Grundy found he could channel the elemental force of The Red. All animal life would bend to his rule. His increased power also allowed him to resurrect the long-lost Grey force. Now instead of ruling Earth's creature, he could simply destroy them. After defeating the world's heroes, Grundy turned Earth into his version of paradise. He now rules over a grey and lifeless planet.
