Here’s a fact to get this ball rolling: though the 1990 Swamp Thing animated series only lasted 6 episodes, it generated an action figure line which included six Swamp Thing variants: Bio-Glow Swamp Thing, Camouflage Swamp Thing, Capture Swamp Thing, Snap Up Swamp Thing, Snare Arm Swamp Thing, and Climbing Swamp Thing.

Wow, no one? Okay, I’ve read some Swamp Thing comics, I’ll pitch in. Uh… Swamp Thing’s body is edible, and can bestow powers or psychedelic visions on those who eat from it? (Source: Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing)
