El Seed is a fictitious supervillain from the animated cartoon series The Tick. He is "the self-proclaimed liberator of the plant population". He is voiced by Ed Gilbert.
El Seed is a walking humanoid sunflower who speaks with a faint Spanish accent and wears a lime-green bullfighter's suit. He hates all non-plant life-forms, who he usually refers to as "monkeys", and intends to eliminate them all so that plants may rule the world again. He never actually fights but creates various forms of plant monsters using chemical concoctions to do his dirty work.
El Seed is served by two women called the Bee Twins; identical twins in bee costumes (with wings that let them fly) who speak in unison.
El Seed's name is a parody of that of El Cid.

Famous quotes containing the word seed:
“I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till the stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
