Plastic Man [Patrick "Eel" O'Brian]; Woozy Winks; Chief Branner; The Green Terror [Mr. Green] (villain, introduction, death)
The Green Terror worked for years to study strange plants and be able to take on their characteristics. He took revenge on Woozy for destroying one of his experiments, and subjected him to a great "smother plant" that exhaled large amounts of carbon dioxide to suffocate its victims. This villain bled green when he was stabbed by his own weapon.
