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:
“We are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other—male in female, female in male, white in black and black in white. We are a part of each other. Many of my countrymen appear to find this fact exceedingly inconvenient and even unfair, and so, very often, do I. But none of us can do anything about it.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
