Complications:
Responsibility - Mangrove is the self-appointed defender of the Everglades.
Power Loss - Mangrove gains his power due to a spiritual connection with nature. If that connection was severed, he would lose his powers.
Weakness - While in Plant Form attacks designed to target plants (such as defoliants) are particularly effective.
Legally Dead - Grover is believed to be deceased and is therefore cut off from his friends and family. This fact often tortures him because he cannot be with the ones he loves.

Background: Grover Manning was a college student at Florida State. Grover, an environmental activist was protesting the development of some wetlands when his peaceful demonstration was attacked by some thugs hired to break up the protest. Injured and left for dead in the middle of the Everglades, Grover was infused by the Elemental Spirit of the Glades. Now as Mangrove he fights to protect nature and help others.
