9 Most Inappropriate Comic Book Couples

2. Swamp Thing And Abigail Holland

When Abigail Holland's husband came back from the dead as the super-powered Swamp Thing, she did the right thing and left her new boyfriend to live with him in his swamp. However, because Alan More was writing the series at the time, things were never going to run smoothly for the couple. Because Alec Holland was basically a giant man-shaped plant made it difficult for them to be physical. To get around the problem, Abigail decided to eat one of the hallucinogenic tubers growing out of Alec's back. Which probably counted as foreplay. Thus began one of the most psychedelic issues written by Alan Moore, and that's saying something. Because the union occurred on the psychic plane, it resulted in the birth of a psychic Swamp Thing spirit baby called the Sprout. In order to provide the Sprout with a body, Alec made a deal with John Constantine to use his body so that Abigail could have a child. The Swamp Thing possessed John, John slept with Abigail, and Abigail was impregnated. She later gave birth to a healthy, supernaturally empowered child, and they all lived happily ever after. In a swamp.

He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
