* Swamp Thing, after being seemingly destroyed, ends up wandering space as he searches for a way to recreate himself on Earth. He meets ComicBook/AdamStrange on Rann, and asks him to give Abby a message when he's next on Earth. Adam does so, and Abby is overjoyed to hear Swamp Thing is still alive. But when she asks where Adam saw him, and Adam goes into his spiel about traveling to Rann on Zeta Beams, Abby's face falls and she says, "Well, you just call up [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Scotty]] on your communicator..." (In all fairness, Adam's life ''would'' sound pretty insane to a normal person.)

* During the storyarc of Swamp Thing seizing control of Gotham to get the authorities to free Abby from prison, Batman has to explain to the mayor of Gotham that insisting on InterspeciesRomance being illegal is somewhat ridiculous, concerning the fact how many aliens and other beings that aren't exactly human run around on Earth. Especially funny because of the incredibly snarky way it was delivered by Batman.

'''Batman''': I mean, if you want to take this all the way, non-humanity doesn't end with the Swamp Thing. Let me see... You'll possibly have to arrest Hawkman... And Metamorpho... And there's also Starfire, from the Titans. Her race evolved from cats, I believe... The Martian Manhunter, obviously... Captain Atom... And then of course there's What's-His-Name... The one who lives in Metropolis.\\

-->'''Batman''': No exceptions, I see. In that case I suggest you start rounding up all the other non-human beings who may be having relationships outside their species.\\
'''Mayor''': What? What do you mean?\\
