10 Superheroes Who Are Way More Powerful Than You Think

Really? The guy who can control plants is at the top of this list? But if you understand Swamp Thing's powers, you will see that he is one of the most powerful beings on Earth.

Swamp Thing can control any wooden house (floorboards, tables, cupboards, etc.) since wood is made from trees. He can shred or crush an enemy with the wood of a house with ease.

If he concentrates hard, he could use all the flora on Earth simultaneously and direct it in any way he saw fit. Imagine getting punched by every plant and tree in the world. That'll leave a mark in the morning.

He can create spores, which he can grow anywhere, including inside humans. He can kill anyone in seconds by planting a microscopic fungus in a person’s lung, eye, heart, etc.

Swamp Thing isn’t just connected to all land plants. He is also bonded to coral. This makes him an incredibly durable fighter while underwater. He even held his own against the king of Atlantis, Aquaman.

Also, killing Swamp Thing is pretty much impossible. You can't just chop off his head. Since he embodies all plant life, he cannot die so long as there is a single blade of grass or leaf.
