The concluding issue of Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter features a unique take on Swamp Thing, exploring his origins as a young boy in a kingdom engulfed by an eternal winter.
While DC’s Elseworlds are famous for offering bold reimaginings of iconic heroes, the Dark Knights of Steel universe takes it a step further by completely flipping the script on one Justice League hero’s powers—granting them an ability that is the exact opposite of their typical canon portrayal.
