Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man is a supervillain who often fights the Doom Patrol. Formerly a student of Niles Caulder, Swedish scientist Sven Larson gained powers when he fell into a vat of mysterious amino acids. His power is to transform any part of his body into a form of animal, vegetable or mineral; frequently he uses different combinations of all three for the most devastating effects. He has been a member of the Front Men.

Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Man was created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani, first appearing in Doom Patrol #89 (1964).
