Corvus - I finished Verdant last night after doing exhaustive research on Plantman (best scene: Plantman used mold from the Wizard's bathroom to help defeat him. "Apparently, The Wizard does not like to clean his toilet"). There are two versions of Plantman/Blackheath, really. There's the old-school one that looks human, has a 'gun' that allows him to affect plant life, etc. Then there's the newer one, who looks somewhat treant-like, and the powers have internalized. The latter can also stretch his limbs, and quite often grapples that way. That's what I went for - the second one. If you'd like the first kind, please let me know. But - IMHO he sort of looks cool. Also, he seems to refer to humanity as 'meat'. Very amusing.
