What I don't get about the "nature themed" heroes, is that nature themed heroes are all hypocrites. All of them. No exceptions. And it is never brought up.
I have yet to see a nature-themed hero scream in rage and just wreck a bird's nest. Or go ham on a beaver dam. Or terminate a termite mound. Every construct of animals is perfectly fine... unless the animal is human, in which case it drives them nuts.
Humans cast off poisons. Yeah. So do pine trees. They acidify soil around them to reduce competition. Should Nature Girl be advocating the clear-cutting of old growth pines? We leave our cast-offs about. So do hermit crabs. Do we get a scene where she stomps on coconut crabs for discarding their shell waste?
I have seen exactly ONE "true" druid, who admired the ebb and flow of rush hour traffic the same as one would admire a game trail in heavy use, or of a river teeming with salmon. Who likened skyrises with hundreds of people to beehives with hundreds of bees, each doing their own thing but building the whole as they went. And that one STILL had moments of "nature better because not human".
They seem to all think that since its done with lower order thinking processes, such as pure instinct, then its all fine as they "balance" one another. Its only evil because man has free will/sentience and thereby can commit "sin" instead of just being an animal.
Of course this ignores things like invasive species, or certain smarter animals like dolphins doing drugs, raping, and acting for only pleasure. You know, the exact sins man is responsible for, but its okay because reasons.
If one of them went out and just exterminated all the rabbits in Australia, or all the nutria rats in America, they would do more for "nature" than probably every single Green Hero in history.

A lot of these idiots will have cats which are a very good example of destructive, invasive species that cause localized extinction of small birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibs. They don't even bother to eat most of what they kill and won't even kill most of what they attack.
Then there's the whole toxo issue which is another literal crazy bag of cats.

Do cats come from outer space?
Well, according to this documentary...
