History
Year Five
Main article: Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Five Vol 1
Five years after the destruction of Metropolis, Solomon Grundy resurfaced, having been dormant for years. Grundy came into the possession of the Toyman and was being transported in a box truck when it was commandeered by Hawkgirl. Grundy escaped from his imprisonment and began causing havoc, attracting the attention of Superman and a Superman impostor. [1] The two Superman, disagreeing on who was the real Superman, began fighting each other while simultaneously fighting Grundy until Yellow Lantern stepped in. Grundy caused Bizarro to escape, and Superman, in return, ripped Grundy's head off from his body.
Superman brought Solomon Grundy's torso and detached head to Lex Luthor and ordered his friend to find a way to turn the regenerating monster into an asset for the Regime. [2]
Possible Post-Regime Epilogue
Upon beating "Classic" mode in Injustice: Gods Among Us or "Multiverse" mode in Injustice 2 with any playable fighter, the player would receive a possible alternate ending to the game's story featuring their fighter. These alternate histories should not be seen as relevant to future sequels or comic adaptations.
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 creatures, 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.
