Was considering Killer Croc too, but Solomon Grundy feels like I can explore a bit more with him.

[INDENT][INDENT][i]Solomon Grundy is a character that keeps getting reset, since every time he 'dies', he just comes back up from Slaughter Swamp in Gotham.  What I want for Grundy is for him to actually try to live for once and attempt to discover his niche in the world.  Grundy will start off as a pretty typical low-IQ hard hitter but the longer he 'lives' in this cycle, the more he'll start to remember things from his original life and therefore grow as a 'new' Grundy.[/i][/indent][/indent]
[COLOR=lightgreen][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]A B I L I T I E S:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][INDENT][i]Grundy is a zombie, a super-strength meat shield that is almost impossible to [i]kill[/i].  Since Grundy is technically already dead he is essentially immortal so that even if he does get obliterated, he'll just revive back in Slaughter Swamp after a set amount of time, sort of like a respawn point.  As they don't want Grundy to respawn the suicide bomb switch is more of a method to incapacitate Grundy until they can retrieve him, but can be used to destroy if they don't want him to fall into enemy hands.[/i][/indent][/indent]

A monster that has based his identity around a children's nursery rhyme because he has forgotten who he was, but what if Grundy had the chance and the intelligence to really understand himself instead of getting reset into a new Grundy with each defeat?  I hope to explore who Solomon Grundy can become if he is given the chance to rediscover himself and learn how to function in society.

The obvious role for Grundy on the suicide squad is to be the vanguard and just push his way to whatever objective needs to be demolished.  Also the most likely pick to tackle any super strong villain threats since he can both take a hit and dish out more.  This incarnation of Grundy has decided, rather unconsciously, to stick around with the Suicide Squad to see if something different would happen.  Rather than rampaging on his own, will being directed by someone else's hands for 'good' lead to Grundy taking a different path in his un-life?[/i][/indent][/indent]

He has also had the ability to manipulate wood though he will have almost no connection to it at the start, but might grow into his 'green' powers as the story progresses.

He won't be quite as 'hulking' as some of his other versions.  He will still be a large, well-built zombie standing at 6'5" but not extraordinarily huge like a lot of his more recent appearances.[/i][/indent][/indent]
