Buried on Sunday.
- -- Solomon Grundy src
History
Origin
In 1894, Cyrus Gold was murdered and his body was dumped in a swamp outside of Gotham City. Over the next forty years, the wood and the rot of the swamp accumulated around Gold's remains, reanimating his body, forming him into the near-invulnerable creature that would be named after the nursery rhyme, Solomon Grundy.
Fathers have told their sons that there is no such creature as the bogeyman, but they were wrong. There is Solomon Grundy, a zombie whose strength rivals Superman. Unlike Superman, unlike any of the League, Grundy cannot be killed. When they die, Grundy will continue. [1]
