Description:

Jason Woodrue’s original appearance was that of a fairly normal university lecturer - a fairly normal human university lecturer. The serum that transformed him into the Floronic Man turned him into a plant-based life-form — his skin is now a pliable form of bark and leaves grow in place of hair (he also seems to be able to cause leaves to grow anywhere he wants on his body and uses this ability to mimic minimal clothing).He has occasionally used a form of latex skin that he sprays over his face to restore his human appearance,this requires that he prunes the more outlandish protuberances from his face.
