After a firewall is placed on the system, he attacks vegetable farms and their plant growing and maintenance systems to get rid of them. Then he attacks foreign imports of vegetables with his vines stopping food from coming in. After Mameo tells him to stop, PlantMan ticks him into materializing him with a Dimensional Chip.
