Man-Thing #1 Volume 2 (1979)
"Dr. Theodore "Ted" Sallis is a young biochemist working in the Everglades as part of Dr. Wilma Calvin's Project: Gladiator team, which is attempting to recreate the "Super-Soldier Serum" of peak-human physicality that had created Captain America. Though warned that the technological terrorist group Advanced Idea Mechanics has been operating in the area, Sallis breaches security by bringing with him his lover, Ellen Brandt. He destroys his notes to his formula, which he has memorized.
Later, at his nearby laboratory, he is ambushed and learns that Brandt has betrayed him. Fleeing with the only sample of his serum, he injects himself with it in hopes of saving himself. However, he crashes his car into the swamp where chemical forces instantly transform him into a slow-moving plant-matter creature with large, solid red eyes. He finds himself unable to speak, with dim memories, attacking the ambushers and Brandt, burning and scarring part of her face with an acid he now secretes in the presence of violent emotions. The Man-Thing then wanders away into the swamp."
