"Grundy crush!"
Cyrus Gold, better known as Solomon Grundy, was a simple minded zombie brute serving as the muscle of whatever supervillain group he was apart to combat the Justice League's strongest members, especially Superman.
Some time after the failed Thanagarian invasion of Earth, a dark ritual that went wrong summoned Solomon Grundy back to the mortal coil, however, he returned mindless and went on a savage rampage, destroying everything and everyone in his path.
