He joined L.E.G.I.O.N. early in his life and soon fell in love with fellow Dryad, Strata. The two eventually married. Garv spends most of his time working for L.E.G.I.O.N.. The two later had a son together who they named Rocky.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

Dryad Physiology: Garv's rock-like body gives him superhuman strength and durability.

• Superhuman Strength: He is many times stronger than a normal human being, although his strength level is unknown.
• Superhuman Durability: He is far more durable than a normal human, and can probably withstand impacts and pressures that could severely injure or kill a human with no discomfort.
• Telepathic Immunity: He is immune to telepathic attack or possession.
• Energy Absorption: He is apparently able to absorb energy attacks with no side effects.

Weaknesses

• Rock Body: He can probably be broken, just as a regular rock can, but chances are he is more durable. His massive size also makes him slow and sometimes clumsy. His large fingers also make it difficult to pick objects or use small electronic devices needing small fingers.
