History
The Roxxon Energy Corporation, under the orders of Dario Agger, created their own Man-Thing enhanced with the DNA of Groot. Dario released the being to take down Weapon H.[1] He activated its immolation ability which started a forest fire.[2] He was later freed along with Weapon H, revealing he was a prisoner as well.[3] He helped defeat the Skrullduggers who had escaped through a portal from Weirdworld.[4] They then worked to destroy Roxxon's operations. He later went to Weirdworld through a portal and settled there peacefully.[5]
