It turn out that Swamp Thing has a good ground for seek retreat . The elementary shielder are in the main meant to protect various aspects of nature from humanity but are also meant to pop the question the various Parliaments sixth sense into the thoughts of humans .

Langstrom ’s inclusion on the squad seemed an unmatched one , give his background as a scientist . Yet Langstrom , much like Alec Holland , is not fresh to biography as a monstrosity and is eager to learn more about the universe of magic that he never knew existed .
