Birthday: Unknown, born early to mid 19th century
Star Sign: Unknown
Gender: Male
Race: Zombie
Moral Alignment: Evil
[Personal Information] Occupation: Full time villain
Sexuality: Straight
Likes: Oddly convenient nursery rhymes, strength, beating down heroes
Dreams: This is impossible to say, because with each rebirth, Solomon Grundy seems to have a completely different goal in mind. Sometimes, he simply wants to be left alone, sometimes he wishes to dominate the world, and other times he just wants to survive.
Dislikes: Superheroes, supervillains, being called stupid
Fears: The uncertainty of what each rebirth will bring.
Darkest Secret: Solomon Grundy has no secrets. All his past deeds in his previous life are unknown to him, and he is rarely intelligent enough to remember to keep a secret now.
Favourite Food: Being a zombie makes him not particularly discriminating when it comes to what he consumes
Favourite Drink: Being a zombie makes him not particularly discriminating when it comes to what he consumes
Least Favourite Food: Being a zombie makes him not particularly discriminating when it comes to what he consumes
Least Favourite Drink: Being a zombie makes him not particularly discriminating when it comes to what he consumes
Loyalties: Himself, whoever can manage to manipulate him
Intelligence Level: This varies. Most of the time he is rather unintelligent and easy to manipulate, whereas in some incarnations he is quite fiercely intelligent and manipulative. It all depends on his reincarnation.
Dominant Hand: Ambidextrous
Strengths: He is utterly unyielding and persistent when his mind is set to something. When his incarnation happens to be intelligent, he is fiercely manipulative and is good at puppeteering events from the shadows.
Weaknesses: He is usually much too dumb to know when to quit. He is usually much too dumb to tell when he is being manipulated.
Cherished Items:
None.
Philosophical/ Social Viewpoint: Usually Solomon Grundy lacks the intelligence to understand advanced concepts like philosophy. When he is intelligent, he adopts a survival of the fittest-type of mentality, in which he considers himself the fittest, and everyone else is beneath him.
Religious Viewpoint: Religion means less than nothing to a man who cannot die, or understand the concept.
Romantic Viewpoint: Solomon Grundy does not fall in love, though in his less intelligent phases he could certainly be distracted by a pretty woman.
Personality
As a side effect of his constant resurrections, Solomon Grundy often has very different personalities from time to time. Sometimes, he is cave man-like brute who is easily manipulated into doing things by others. Often times he is simply mindless, constantly raging at the world and destroying things until there is nothing left. Other times still, he is a cunning individual who works from the shadows, but is still more than willing to show his dominance in a fight.
Biography
As a child, Cyrus Gold lived a life of misery and hopelessness. His father, Gold Sr., had moved to Gotham City before Cyrus was born to gain fame and fortune, changing his last name to "Gold" as a sign of things to come. However, this dream of a powerful future very soon diminished, leaving the Gold family in ruin. The elder Gold was reduced to working on the docks on the city, being forced to work in horrible, unregulated working conditions. To add insult to injury, he was regularly mugged by his boss, who forced him to hand over all the gold he had, leaving the Gold family with nothing but crumbs. Hatred filled his heart, and the elder Gold began to use his family as a way to vent off the hate he felt towards his superiors. He regularly beat his wife, Cyrus' mother, and would abuse his son. The cruelest form of torture he implemented on the young boy was to bury him alive on his birthday; every year the boy would be buried alive in a grave, a way of teaching him that he was less than the dirt that covered him. For years the young Cyrus Gold was maltreated, coming to a head when his mother packed her belongings, kissed him goodbye and abandoned him, caring more about herself than what the monster she married might do to her son. Not long after that, Cyrus sneaked down to the docks to watch his father work. A crate hovered above his father, its weight breaking the chains and rope holding it in place. With a sickening crunch, the crate fell on top of Cyrus Gold's father, killing him instantly. The man who ran the pier merely scoffed at the incident, kicking the broken body of the older Gold into the waters below the pier.
Now Cyrus Gold, young and helpless, was all alone. Forced to survive on nothing. It was then that he swore to himself to make his own riches and power. He wouldn't die a pauper like his father did.
Growing up, Cyrus was beaten up by many people and treated with as much hate as his father had given him in his youth. One day, bleeding in a slump after an encounter with a gang of savage bullies and thieves in an area known as Dugan's Alley, a girl named Pearl, whom Cyrus was close to, found him and prayed for his safety. But the curmudgeon Gold brushed her aside; he had no time or place for a God, let alone believe in the existence of one.
Bleeding, in pain, and near the end of his ropes, a mysterious stranger went up to him and offered Cyrus the deal of a lifetime; he could become rich and powerful....if only he serve him until the day he died. Cyrus Gold shook the stranger's hand, sealing his fate forever just for the mere chance of gaining the riches his father slaved for for so long.
Cyrus Gold soon became wealthy and powerful, by ways not very honest. He killed the men who abused him and his family when he was young, stealing their riches and becoming a veritable mobster. In an act of rage and wrath, he tracked down his long-departed mother and stabbed her to death. He then dumped her body in the waters of Slaughter Swamp, where many victims would end up as time went on, culminating with the death of Cyrus Gold himself. During this period, Cyrus wed the girl Pearl (although there are clues that suggested that Gold killed her previous husband to be with her) and the two had a little boy and little girl. Initially a happy family, Cyrus became as brash as his father, staying out late, drinking and being verbally abusive, oftentimes in front of the children. After a while of anger and abuse in the marriage, in a fit of rage, Cyrus Gold drowned Pearl.
But Cyrus' sins would come back to haunt him. A mob formed and chased him into the swamps, ready to avenge their broken families with his slaughter. Gold didn't want to die by their hands and subsequently stabbed himself through the heart, sinking into the cursed waters of Slaughter Swamp, the very place where he laid to rest a lifetime of victims and killers.
But Cyrus was not yet finished with life.
The deal he had made for life long servitude was shattered, and so was the little humanity he had left. The swamp, filled with unknown acids and chemicals, bonded to the preserving corpse of Cyrus Gold, fusing his body through time with wood, stone and anything else that was unlucky enough to fall into the morbid soup. 50 years after his death, something happened.....something....evil....
In the dead of night, a moaning was heard. The waters rippled and parted as a hideously decayed white hand reached out. That night, from the remains of a selfish and evil man, came a hulking behemoth....one who could never remember himself. Stumbling through the marshes on newly reborn legs, the zombified creature found two criminals hiding in his swamp...his home...his mother....
In a inhuman rage, it slowly and methodically killed the trespassers, then squeezed its huge frame in their clothing as best as it could. Snarling, the beast walked to a derelict homeless shelter, where, his curiosity piking, he managed to speak a few words to the vagrants staying there. He was asked about who he was and where he came from. The newly reborn monster didn't remember...in fact, he didn't remember anything from his past human life. But there was one thing he did remember....he was born on a Monday.
The vagrants laughed a bit, and told him that his birthday reminded them of a famous poem. The life and death of a certain Solomon Grundy.
Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end of
Solomon Grundy.
The monster took a fancy to the name and adopted it as his own. No longer was he Cyrus Gold, the mere human. Now he was an unstoppable monster....one with a hunger for death, chaos and occasional mutilated corpse. His name now was....Solomon Grundy.

Enemies:
○ Green Lantern(Alan Scott) | Hero, no longer active | Arch Nemesis
Green Lantern was the first superhero that Solomon Grundy ever faced, and both have been a persistent threat to each other. He is confused as to why he is no longer around, and constantly seeks him out for one more battle in this new Void-Earth. Because Solomon Grundy's body is usually made-up mostly of wood, he is immune to Alan Scott's powers.
○ The entire Bat Family | Heroes | Arch Nemeses
Given that Solomon Grundy constantly haunts Gotham, it is no small wonder that he has had frequent run-ins with Batman and his kin. While his hatred is mainly focused on the original Batman, Bruce Wayne, he is not intelligent enough most times to differentiate between the old and new Batman, as well as those other heroes who run within his circle.

Releationship Explanation
[Weapon Information]
○ Makeshift Weapons: Whenever he resurrects, his body is composed of whatever substance is in Slaughter Swamp at that time. Most of this substance is wood and stone, but often times it also includes hidden treasures such as murder weapons(knives, sickles, hooks, chains, etc.) and even other dumped corpses.
[Ability Information]
○ Zombie Physiology: Solomon Grundy is an undead creature whose soul is tied to the Slaughter Swamp in Gotham. His body is made up of whatever substance is found within the swamp, bound together by the soul of Cyrus Gold. Instead of blood, he secretes tree sap when wounded.
○ Energy Absorption: Grundy has also proven to be able to absorb certain forms of energy and manipulate them at will. This ability has always been subconscious to the point of being accidental, though, but it would suggest that Grundy is even more powerful than he has the intelligence to realize.
○ Invulnerability: The weird elemental energy that imbues his form with pseudo-life makes him virtually indestructible - he is impervious to bullets, fire, and extreme cold, and can survive indefinitely without food, water, or oxygen. The only thing that has ever been able to hurt him was the Mist's special toxins, developed to take out Grundy's plant tissue body. In many incarnations, he has been susceptible to explosive weapons(typically in his run-ins with Batman).
○ Resurrection: Even when he is destroyed, he has always been reborn sooner or later. The soul of Cyrus Gold enjoys his pseudo-life through Grundy, even though Gold's whole personality is never present in Grundy's "life." Grundy's personality differs from incarnation to incarnation, but he seems to retain some memories of his experiences from one time to the next.
○ Superhuman Stamina: Grundy can perform physically strenuous tasks for an indeterminate period of time before tiring.
○ Superhuman Strength: Solomon Grundy possesses tremendous strength and stamina, the level of which varies with his different incarnations. Sometimes, he can be held by a group of normal humans. On other occasions, even Superman has not been able to defeat him.
[Weakness Information]
○ Diminished Intellect: Grundy's below average intellect makes him easy to fool and manipulate. However, due to the fluctuations of his power levels, he has occasionally possessed adequate intellect.
