Synopsis:
Swamp Thing is the victim of an alien abduction. He is captured by Solus for display in his menagerie which contains specimens from all across the universe. Solus was sentenced to drift alone in the void aboard a floating platform. He now uses the creatures in his menagerie as playthings. However, the creatures including Swamp Thing band together and rebel. Solus is defeated, but Swamp Thing offers him a hand in compassion. Solus rejects the hand and attempts to regain his mastery. It ultimately fails, as the touch of Swamp Thing's soil-like flesh triggers self-destruct nodules which kill the alien. Swamp Thing and the other surviving creatures use the teleporter to return home.
