I ment Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing!

Albo, I think Poison Ivey is anti-hero now. So... progress?

Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it's a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.

The other thing that occurs to me is that in most "environmentalist" storylines, the villain's polluting is done illegally, so the hero already represents the status quo.

That is... a very good point. Not only in the environmental niche, we desperately crave more "it may be legal, but it needs to be stopped" stories. It would actually make more sense narratively. Gave them the actual reason to vigilante.
