Alan Moore turned Swamp Thing from a horror story where a man was turned into a pile of goo and vegetable matter, into something more mystical and even pro-environmental: the spirit of green life. I never got into it although I understand the writing was good.
(Alan Moore retired from comics very recently, if you didn't know:

Squirrel Girl now has her own title, and two enormously large buck teeth.
I never got my head around why people like Nightwing so much. Kill the bugger off, I say. (Having said that, I did really like "Grayson", the title where the character becomes a spy.)
