comics Respect Tefé Holland (DC- Post Crisis)
Name: Tefé Holland, Mary Conwan, Sprout
Nationality: American
Weaknesses: Other than being a bit of a glass canon she doesn't have any notable weaknesses
Bio: Tefé Holland is the daughter of Swamp Thing, Abigail Arcane and John Constantine. She was initially a plant elemental made to replace Swamp Thing when he was trapped in deep space, but was reborn in a human form to prevent the unbalancing of nature the presence of two Avatars of the Green (her and Swamp Thing) would have caused. Due to her unique situation as a human-plant hybrid she is the first Flesh Elemental.

That sounds encouraging!
By the way, if you don't mind me asking, where would you point a new Swamp Thing reader to? Any particular runs? I've read the Nu-52 series in its entirety and feel there must be much better material out there.
