Comments: Created by Sean Williams.
Plant Man was created by the (then) 8-year old Sean Williams of East Brunswick, New Jersey as part of the 1994 Spider-Man Magazine's Create Your Own Super Hero or Super-Villain section that ran in each issue.
Plant Man's origin was never revealed so it was
unclear if his powers were the result of being born a mutant or
Inhuman, or if he was mutated or somehow used technology to simulate
his powers. In addition, Doctor Weed, Fire Bug and Professor Pollution
were not seen at all.
Profile by Proto-Man.
