Jason Woodrue

Jason Woodrue is a humanoid plant being from an interdimensional world who came to Earth and established himself as a rogue botanist. Using his extraordinary expertise in plant biology, he develops methods to mutate ordinary seeds and flora into monstrous, advanced plant life to further his schemes against humanity.

Few characters from the Silver Age have grown as fascinatingly strange as Jason Woodrue, who first crept into DC Comics through the pages of The Atom #24 in 1966, conjured by the legendary team of Gardner Fox and Gil Kane. Over nearly six decades — a remarkable stretch from the go-go sixties all the way to 2025 — he has kept some of the most iconic company the DC Universe has to offer, sharing pages with Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern across titles like Justice League of America and The New Guardians. Two of his appearances carry key-issue status, a testament to the collector weight this quietly unsettling figure carries. If you've ever been drawn to DC's weirder, greener corners, Woodrue is exactly the kind of deep-catalogue obsession worth chasing down.
