Calbraith A. H. Rodgers was born in England in 1920. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force to try and escape the pull of the Green. However, on May 3, 1942, on his fourth mission as a pilot during the war, his plane was shot down and burst into flames. Landing in a swamp, the dying Rodgers felt the branches and petals reaching for him, delivering him to his new life as the protector of the Green. By fusing the man with the Green in the final moments of his life, the Swamp Thing was created. He is sent by the Parliament of Trees to defeat Solomon Grundy, a failed Swamp Thing. (I wrote this a while ago, before I learned Will Poulter was cast in GOTG Vol 3) (Swamp Things needs an anchor to humanity. Not necessarily a love interest.)
