*CompleteMonster (includes ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' Vol. 2's "Superheavy" arc): [[TheSocialDarwinist Mr. Bloom]] is a terrifying, [[FauxAffablyEvil unfailingly jovial]] supervillain who was once a "[[FromNobodyToNightmare nobody]]" until he underwent experiments that gave him mysterious abilities. Determined to cleanse Gotham of its weakness and create a new, chaotic land in its stead, Bloom spreads his mutating "seeds" across Gotham and convinces thousands of men, women, and children to use the seeds to gain power like his, leaving out the fact that the seeds mutate them into monstrous extensions of Bloom. Going on a rampage of death alongside his mutated followers, Bloom ravages Gotham and tries to set off an explosion that will take out the entire state. Though beaten, Bloom survives and creates the drug "[[FantasticDrug Lazarus Resin]]" for Powers International, slaughtering the rest of the research staff and engineering a variety of lethal schemes to wipe out everyone else who knows about the secrets of the drug. After putting Gotham and Man-Bat through torturous experiments, Bloom tries to kill off Task Force Z and then [[ArmsDealer sell the Resin]] to create a zombie army for the highest bidder.

All while indulging in [[TropesOfTheLivingDead numerous zombie tropes]] and leaning hard into the [[{{BMovie}} B-Movie]] atmosphere of mad scientists and weird science. By all means, it sounds silly. But it helps that the book doesn't take itself too seriously and provides plenty of fun dialogue between the characters.

But ''Task Force Z'' making the crowbars ''electric'', with no clear explanation for how they become electrified, pushes them into ridiculous territory.
