POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Man-Thing is a simple-minded creature, motivated by emotion instead of logical thought. He is the guardian of the nexus of realities but certainly has no knowledge of his role. Man-Thing's greatest enemies are the demon lord Thog and D'Spayre (whose fear powers can cause Man-Thing to become afraid and, thus, burn himself).

Exusiai's Notes Man-Thing, at the end of the day, is a variation of the Swamp Thing and Solomon Grundy. He is a big, plant-based dude, who defends a specific swamp. Man-Thing has some radically different powers to do so. In DC Terms he's perhaps a failed attempt at another Plant Elemental. His origin is very similar to Swamp Thing, Special Formula+Fire+Swamp = Tragic Hero.
