[nfcomics]

POISON IVY no.23 • cover art • Chris Bachalo [June 2024]

The world is eating itself alive as the zombified victims of Poison Ivy, led by the reborn Dr. Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man, descend upon Slaughter Swamp's foremost botanical supervillain. With time running out, Ivy will have to use every ounce of herself in order to defend her life. But will it be enough...and is her life even worth saving?

The Floronic Man 

Jason Woodrue had been an experimental botanist who devised a formula that transformed him into a dryad-like humanoid.  Woodrue gained the ability to mentally control plant life.  He came to hate mankind seeing it as the enemy of a healthy and sustainable ecosystem.  He renamed himself The Floronic Man and began a campaign of eco-terrorism.  

In a tale that may or may not be part of the official DCAU continuity, The Floronic Man teamed up with Poison Ivy.  The two had abducted a scientist who had determined a means of transforming humans into plant-based lifeforms.  Using this information, the two set out to release a cloud of spores that would gradually change all of humanity into floral creatures that the the pair could then rule over.

Batman and Nightwing ended up pooling forces with Harley Quinn in their efforts to locate Ivy and Woodrue before these spores could be released.  They almost did not succeed, but at the least minute Harley pleaded with her friend and managed to convince Ivy not to go through with the scheme.  A distraught Floronic Man was detained and locked away at a secure facility for metahuman prisoners.  

Actor Kevin Michael Richardson provided the voice for this version of the Floronic Man, with he villain appearing in the animated feature, Batman and Harley Quinn.

"...THE PLANT MASTER, A.K.A., THE FLORONIC MAN... HAS MANY OF THE POWERS OF A PLANT ELEMENTAL..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on pin-up art and biographical info on the Floronic Man, a.k.a., "Floro," DC supervillain and plant elemental, from "Who's Who in the DC Universe" Vol. 1 #6. January, 1991. DC Comics. Artwork by Mark Pacella & Anthony Tollin (colors).

POWERS & WEAPONS: "Floro has many of the powers of a plant elemental, including the ability to regenerate lost limbs (although he has never tried to regenerate another body), the power to cause plant life to grow at remarkable speeds and to control it, and the ability to communicate with vegetation.

He professes to be able to summon elements from his native dimension to do his bidding, but this claim results solely on whether his past statements of origin are true or not. A formidable creature, Floro is not as powerful as Swamp Thing, but his unpredictability makes him a dangerous foe."

Ma'alefa'ak, the people would like to know your top 10 monsters from less to most boink worthy, you're allowed 3 honorific mentions and no Johnstantine monster forms

in the spirit of Ma'al ranking the Green Lanterns, here's Ma'al's random opinions on most characters that pop up in DC top 10 monsters lists:

for the three honorific mentions:

Ma'al doesn't have a "top 10" because "nobody tops me unless I tell them to" and his opinions on who's most boinkable are susceptible to change from his mood, the vibes, the weather, the seasons, the alignment of the stars, etc.

I feel like we need some kind of funky dark magic underworld adventure starring Jason, Jason, and Jason. One's host to an ancient demon, one's died and come back, and the other's the demigod scion of the Olympian gods. The villain revealed to be at the root of whatever it is they're investigating should be Jason Woodrue.

It goes to show you really can't tell shit about a person from the content they make. Neil Gaiman introduced Pamela Isley's body being exploited by her male mentor as part of her tragic back story. Turned out whole time he was a rapist.
