Tread not where this green lamp has burned.” Let those that have the daylight spurned, The Green Lantern oath reflects the plant POV of the ring bearer: The story is told from the POV of Medphyll and the reader is treated to a description of an alien world of sentient plants and the art, religion and plant based architecture of the planet are described in detail. The title “All Flesh is Grass” is from the Bible and refers to the transitory nature of existence. In Swamp Thing v2, #61, “All Flesh is Grass”, Swamp Thing meets a Green Lantern ( Medphyll) on his alien home world in which plant life is sentient. The comic strip Pogo universe of Walt Kelly is being compared with the grittier Vertigo universe that Swamp Thing inhabits.

There is a metafictional aspect to Pog since Moore is comparing two types of comic book universe not just aliens and Earthlings. The Earthling “alien” has done the “job” he was probably recruited and manipulated for in the first place (see Figure 5 below)! In the end his relatively, to Earthlings, Rannian girlfriend, Alanna Strange, is found to be pregnant and this is the first pregnancy in quite some time on Rann. There is plenty of action in the story but Adam Strange’s internal dialogue about he is perceived in the Rannians is actually more interesting. Adam Strange has slowly become aware that the Rannians see him as an ape-man errand boy and the statute erected in his honor as the hero of Rann is a façade to flatter him into doing their bidding. The inhabitants are more advanced than Earthlings and have difficulty doing “primitive” things like fighting and procreating. In a two issue story arc, the story is told from the POV of an alien that happens to be an Earthling! In “Mysteries in Space”, Swamp Thing, v2, #57 and “Exiles” Swamp Thing, v2, #58, Adam Strange is the hero of planet Rann.

Humans are one of many species and the welfare of humans at the expense of the environment is not acceptable. As a plant and later an elemental, the Swamp Thing sees the human struggle between good and evil in a larger transhuman context. The Swamp Thing can also perceive and move through “The Green” which is some sort of dimension that contains the consciousness of all plant life. Doctor Manhattan has developed a nihilistic view of reality due to his superhuman perceptions that is shared by very few human beings but The Comedian is one of them (see Figure 1 below).Īlan Moore decided a superhero even more removed from humanity would be more interesting. Doctor Manhattan can perceive subatomic particles that exist for nanoseconds. I mean, which do you prefer, red ants or black ants?” Doctor Manhattan can also make multiple versions of himself and does this for practical purposes but also because this is a point of view that he finds interesting. Believe me… you have to meet him to understand. Ozymandias on Doctor Manhattan, “If there’s one thing in this cosmos that that man isn’t capable of doing it’s having a political bias.

Doctor Manhattan may have been human at one point but due to an accident became a being that is growing distant from humanity. This is power 256 in my Superpower List (250+).

Doctor Manhattan has the ability to see the past, present and the future at the same time.
