Dwight Wicker is a general and the director of the Defense Department Intelligence.
History
At Gotham City Police Headquarters, Commissioner Gordon and Harvey Bullock meet with a man from the D.D.I. called Dwight Wicker, who has come on behalf of the US Government to capture the Swamp Thing after he killed General Sunderland. Wicker believes that Abby Cable can lead him to the creature. Bullock warns against allying with Wicker, having done his research, and knowing that the D.D.I. attacked Abby and her husband Matthew several times in the past, to the point of bombing their house. Mr. Wicker is dismissive of the accusation, and demands to be allowed to protect Gotham. Gordon responds that Gotham has its own ways of dealing with menaces.
Mr. Wicker introduces a special consultant to the team meant to track and kill the Swamp Thing. They have paid ten million dollars for a mere ten minutes of consultation with Lex Luthor regarding how to kill an indestructible being.
At the D.D.I. offices, Mr. Wicker has been sleeping there under the watch of two security people. They bring him a sandwich, and try to convince him to leave the office. Mr. Wicker has rightly grown paranoid that the Swamp Thing is still at large. He killed all of the foliage and grass outside the building, just in case. When the security men have their back turned, Wicker eats his sandwich, only to discover that the lettuce on the sandwich is coming alive, and growing out of every orifice. The agents stare in horror as Mr. Wicker takes on the shape of a small tree.
Wicker and his co-conspirators are later seen as damned souls on a chain gang in Hell. They attempt to find their former patron Sunderland, believing he can help them gain status in the underworld, but are horrified to discover he is now just as powerless as they are, and are subsequently thrown into a pit of man-eating leeches by a demon.
