| Origin |
|
During the later part of the 19th Century, Cyrus Gold was killed and left to
rot in Slaughter Swamp. His remains were never found and over the
process of half a century the organic muck collected around his corpse and
mysteriously one day took on its own life.
With limited memory of his previous existence the swamp monster found his
way to a hobo camp after robbing a pair of escaped criminals of their
clothes. When asked his name he replied that he did not have one, but
that he had been born on a Monday. One of the hobos remarked he was
like the nursery rhyme character and named the monster Solomon Grundy. |
