The Human Tree was a superhero from Reality Z-25 31-H, active in New York City and known to Robot Madison.

Description

Physical appearance

The Human Tree appeared as a muscular young man with tan white skin and curly chestnut-brown hair. He had the ability to turn parts of his body into tree-like branches, sometimes complete with foliage, whose size and shape he could control at will; the branches had warm, dark brown bark and deep green leaves. To better facilitate the use of these powers, he usually forewent wearing a shirt. (COMIC: Red Riding Hood)

Powers & abilities

The Human Tree's primary power was to turn parts of his body, mostly his arms, into tree-like branches which he could continue to move like real arms, using them to boost his abilities in a fight. He seemed to have some kind of super-strength and increased resilience to go with this. (COMIC: Red Riding Hood) He could drive a lorry. (COMIC: Epilogue to Destruction)

Behind the scenes

In the DeviantArt description of a 2017 sketch of the character, the Human Tree's creator Paul Hoppe revealed that he actually invented the Human Tree as a child, removed from the wider The Cosmic Beholder universe, and only later decided to introduce him into his ongoing series. He also disclosed that the character was inspired by the Spider-Man villains Sandman and Hydroman as they appeared in various 1980s comics.
