The origin of Super Villains: Solomon Grundy (comics)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Grundy_(comics)

Solomon Grundy is a fictional character, usually depicted as a supervillain in the DC Comics universe and an antihero in the DC animated universe. He was originally depicted as a murder victim brought back to life as a corporeal revenant or zombie, though subsequent versions of the character have occasionally depicted a different origin. Named after the 19th century nursery rhyme, Grundy was introduced as an enemy of Golden Age comic book hero, Alan Scott / Green Lantern, but has since become a prominent enemy for a number of superheroes such as Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman and Bruce Wayne / Batman. He also has ties to Dr. Alec Holland / Swamp Thing.

Drew Powell portrays the character on the Fox Network television series Gotham.
