right hand may he broken. Swamp Thing finds himself wading through human waste below Metropolis.

Claw hand!

Sensuous hand

Swamp Thing restraining Superman? It’s so Swampy can take Grundy and run tests on him to see how he grew from the swamp. Maybe the results could help Swampy return back to his human form.
