Rise and Fall of the Seeder
Main article: Swamp Thing: Seeder
On the precipice of Alec Holland's battle with the Seeder for the title of Avatar, the Wolf took him under his tutelage - doubtlessly because he had placed a sizeable bet upon Alec's victory. The Wolf directed Alec to several other avatars who could help him learn enough to best Seeder in battle - first, Alec was brought before Lady Weeds whom the Wolf paid in cattle (an element of The Red with which the Lady had her way). Their next step was a structure created entirely of blue vegetation, which wolf would not enter out of respect. The blue avatar was Swamp Thing, and Holland rebuked Wolf's advice that he had to emulate Swamp Thing to win
Upon the Parliament's decision that Alec's refusal to kill the Seeder meant he had relinquished his right to be the Avatar and they had thrust him back into the Green for eternity, Alec was directed to the Lady Weeds by the Wolf for a way to escape the Green once more. With difficulty, the Parliament was killed, with Alec both leaving to the surface and cutting off the connection of other avatars to the world so as to avoid the Lady Weeds' ambiguous morality running freely on Earth. After he took the power of the Avatar from the blessings of the Green itself, Alec brought three former Avatars (the Wolf, the Lady Weeds, and Brother Jonah) out of the Green in the ritual, rendering them powerless.[2]
