MILLAR: Yes, that was Wonder Man whom Midnighter skull-split on what has to be one of the two best pages of the issue and yes, the red effect was a request by DC to tone down Frank's anatomically perfect head-split.
The implication is that The Commander has liked sexual conquest with martial conquest, that he actualizes this upon the beaten bodies of everyone from Apollo, a powerful super-hero, to virtually helpless counter ladies.

 IGN: Swamp Thing: The Alan Moore Years
It gives a sense of the tone for the series, and segues into an excellent arc featuring the creature and the Floronic Man battling for the right to control nature.
Moore creates a strong sense of savagery and anger in the creature that is present for the first half of the run -- it is only through love that the creature is tamed.
While the Floronic Man seems pretty outlandish and creepy in the first arc, that's nothing compared to successive opponents.

The way he pounds away with ease and little hesitation at both an arrogant ancient demon and a monkey monster right out of the kind of nightmares that haunt you forever is satisfying and amusing at the same time.
Alan Moore took a throw-away character (the Swamp Thing) and a forgotten villain (Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man) and founded an entire genre of comics that had been long forgotten (or at least neglected) since the 50s or so.
The story begins with a minor DC villain-The Floronic Man. He brings Swamp Thing "back from the dead" and then begins doing things far worse than he ever did against the Justice League.
