History
to be added

Powers
As a result of genetic experimentation, Samuel Smithers' body now seems completely composed of vegetable matter, allowing him superhuman strength and resistance to injury. He can also alter his shape and elongate his body. He is capable of mentally commanding plant and vegetable matter.

Plantman would also use a unique humanoid plant life of his own creation called “simuloids,” creatures capable of mimicking human life and possessing rudimentary artificial intelligence (many times he has fooled the authorities or escaped capture by using a plant-duplicate of himself). He has created armies of such plantlife. Moreover, he would equip these simuloids and personal duplicates with weaponry that could launch poisoned thorns or spores.

Abilities
Despite his lack of formal education, Smithers is a brilliant botanist, biochemist, and inventor.

Weapons
As a plant hybrid, Smither has no weapons. Before then, Smithers would often employ guns that fired a “vege-ray,” a type of unique energies that could stimulate rampant plant growth and animate plants according to his whims. These plants could remain under his control for hours.
