Slaughter Swamp (Earth-5180)

The Slaughter Swamp is a remote swamp located in Florida, United States and home to the Swamp Thing.

History
Hundreds of years in the past, a natural chemical accident caused the waters of the Slaughter Swamp to gain regenerative properties, becoming a Lazarus Pit. These waters became the great interest of Professor Ted Holland, a Gothamite chemist who theorized its waters were mystical in nature.

Unfortunately for him, his wife betrayed him and accused Ted of being a witch. After being pursued by a series of nearby villagers, Holland was captured and burned alive, his body being thrown by his assailants at the waters of the swamps. However, as the water was essentially a Lazarus Pit, the scientist returned as a creature made of flesh and mud, haunting and stalking all those who entered his new domain, being baptized the "Swamp Thing".
