Seaweed Creatures

Golden Age Origin
The Seaweed Creature lead by their Queen were of a race of humanoid plants who lived in the deep sea. They sought to conquer the surface world by using their chlorophyll machine to transform humans into one of their own and to use them as slaves. In order to get human to transform, the creatures had used their binding weeds to sink numerous ships in the gulf. However, this attracted the attention of the Navy who send Deep Sea Dawson/Kinks Mason to investigate.

Dawson/Kinks was brought before their queen where she proceeded to explain her plan to him and give him a tour of their facilities. The queen intended to turn the diver into a Seaweed Creature, but he fought back escaping into a submarine the creatures had attacked earlier. When Deep Sea Dawson/Kinks Mason fired a torpedo from the sub and later also used dynamite on their machines, the monsters drowned and their captives were freed. This was because their species was dependent on their supply of chlorophyll to survive.
