Solomon Grundy

Solomon Grundy (also known as "The Reanimated Corpse of One Solomon J Grundy") is a fictional character that appears in DC Comics as a supervillain and antihero. He was once portrayed as a murder victim who was resurrected as a corporeal revenant or zombie, while later renditions of the character have occasionally depicted a different origin. His name comes from the nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy" from the nineteenth century.

Grundy was first created as an adversary of comic book hero Alan Scott (the first Green Lantern) but has since grown to be a major foe of Superman, Batman, and other Justice League members. Later writers have given him ties to Swamp Thing, one of DC's horror-fantasy characters, as a revenant whose past frequently involves coming back to life after being dumped in the swamp.

Solomon Grundy initially appears in the DC Animated Universe, as an antihero. In the second season of the Arrowverse series Arrow, he made his live-action debut as Cyrus Gold, and in Fox's television series Gotham, he played Butch Gilzean. Solomon Grundy has featured in CGI form in the first and second seasons of the DC Universe and The CW network's television series Stargirl.
