Cyrus Gold (Prime Earth)

Cyrus Gold, better known as Solomon Grundy, is a mindless zombie hellbent on destruction who usually operates in Gotham City, making him an enemy of Batman.

Solomon Grundy made his first public appearance in Gotham during Batman's second year as a vigilante, during the "War of Jokes and Riddles" between the Joker and the Riddler. The two criminals went to war over the right to kill Batman and recruited every villain in Gotham they could to join their fight. Grundy was brought on to fight for the Joker. The war waged on for weeks before Batman was forced to side with the Riddler to end the needless casualties. Grundy was apprehended and brought to Arkham Asylum.

Another public appearance was when he attacked the Outlaws, and he almost killed Red Hood and Artemis, before he was defeated by Bizarro.^[1]
