Swamp Thing: Difference between revisions

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Swamp Thing vs [[Reality Warper|Anton Arcane]], Swamp Thing vs [[Religion of Evil|the Brujera]], and Swamp Thing vs [[Batman]].

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Moore has [[New Gods|Metron]] experience [[Animal Stereotypes|being a lemming and following the herd off a cliff]].

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Monkey King, M'Nagalah... Swamp Thing tends to encounter a lot of these.

** Special mention should go to the Original Darkness, which was so massive that the heroes could only see the tip of its claw and was not even moving under the combined powers of [[The Phantom Stranger]], [[Doctor Fate]] and [[The Spectre]].

* [[Horrifying Hero]]: [[Swamp Thing]].

* [[Improbable Species Compatibility]]: As mentioned, Swamp Thing is captured and raped by a sentient alien island floating through space.

* [[Inspector Javert]]: Matthew Cable starts out as one of these.

* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: It's never directly stated, but there are enough hints to figure out that {{spoiler|Matthew the raven from [[The Sandman]]}} was {{spoiler|Matthew Cable}} before he died. Gaiman owes a lot to Moore in getting his career started; there are several nods in ''Sandman'' to Moore's work in the DCU. This was confirmed by Gaiman in an interview, and later made explicit in an arc of ''The Dreaming''. Swamp Thing also encounters quite a few well-established DC characters, including [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Etrigan]], the Spectre, Deadman and [[Adam Strange]].
