10 Most Dangerous Places To Live In The DC Universe

10. Louisiana Bayou

Houma, Louisiana is located in the southeast corner of the state and is adjacent to a large swamp area. There, scientist Alec Holland conducted classified experiments that were sabotaged causing him to leap into the water. Covered in the bio-restorative formula he was working on, it imbued the surrounding plant life with his consciousness and the latest Swamp Thing was born.

Anton Arcane created a small army of deformed human creatures he called his Un-men. He sent them after Swamp Thing and his family on multiple occasions. Task Force X, also known as the “Suicide Squad”, was based at the secret military prison Belle Reve which is located in the area. The presence of so many supervillains made this a veritable powder keg.

In addition to the common dangers of the swamp, entering Swamp Thing’s domain is a terrible idea. His intelligence and independence have brought him into numerous violent conflicts with the Parliament of Trees, the governing force over the Green. Additionally, Swamp Thing has reacted badly to acts of destruction against the plant life of the planet and his swamp in particular. The denizens of this marshy bog have fed on many who have crossed him.
