Realized he was on a team with a mean deep sea diver and a guy from "Gorilla City" on Saturday
Pretty much just a zombie without any real logical way to fight somebody like the freaking Superman on Sunday
That’s the end of Solomon Grundy  (no more)

User Comments:  Despite teaming with a collection of super geniuses (Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Gorilla Grodd) Solomon was easily the wisest. In fact, in one episode he determines which mother should have custody of a newborn baby by going "NAAARRRR SOLOMON GRUNDY WANT BABY" and leaping out of a window. He's a fucking Cajun zombie, that's his power, what do you expect? Other than being born at the absolute worst possible time for Garfield all the guy can do is stagger around and lift stuff.

His uniform is exactly what it should be. He looks like he went down to the Grundy County Auction and he saw something he just had to have: a tattered sport coat. Solomon was originally killed in the late 19th century, so I'm not sure why he's dressed like Gothic Don Johnson, but it works.

The best thing about Grundy on the Superfriends as opposed to newer "Justice League Unlimited" Grundy is the voice acting. New Grundy is voiced by Mark Hamill and speaks in a low grumble. Superfriends Grundy was Larry the Zombie Cable Guy. He's not coming to get you, Barbara, he's coming to GIT R DONE. He's not even Cajun. It's like they got Slim Pickens to do his voice. When the character dies in the comics he returns with a different aspect of the original man's personality. This explains why he's sometimes smart, sometimes dumb, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Hopefully next time he shows up on Justice League Unlimited it will be to trick Booster Gold into overstating the obvious and then hand him a sign.
