Grodd led a massive breakout from Iron Heights, with the help of mind-controlled apes, and later encountered the Flash.

He has since recovered, and a failed attempt to set up a base in Florida led to his capture and incarceration in Iron Heights. In the course of this, Grodd absorbed too much neural energy from his fellow apes, leaving him with the intelligence of a normal ape ( Martian Manhunter Annual #2, 1999). One of Grodd’s widest-ranging schemes was to arrange Solovar’s assassination and manipulate Gorilla City into war against humanity. Grodd used his newly obtained increase in mental abilities, to lead an army of gorillas to take over the world the world, but was beaten.Ĭatwoman: Groddspell Gorilla City Conquestįor More Information: Martian Manhunter Annual #2 An ensuing battle resulted in the rock exploding causing Grodd and Flash to become super-intelligent "mental giants" and reducing Hammond and Jordan to cro-magnons. They attacked Hal Jordan, Rex the Wonder Dog and West, and soon managed to locate their target. Grodd later teamed up with Hector Hammond to locate a meteorite which had evolutionary properties. His plan ultimately failed and he was defeated by Wally West, with the help of Pied Piper and Vixen. In one of his first major post-crisis appearances, Grodd used his telepathy to increase the intelligence of the animals in Central City, enabling them to think logically and become organized. Gorilla Grodd made his first comic book appearance in the pages of Flash #106. Gorilla Grodd was created by John Broome (writer) and Carmine Infantino (artist). At times, he has led a political faction within Gorilla City, sometimes even becoming the dominant force. Often, he has gone to Central City hoping to eliminate the Flash before he could interfere with his plans.

Grodd came after him, but not for rescue his intent was to steal Solovar’s secret for controlling others through force of mind. Rather than reveal the existence of Gorilla City, he played dumb and allowed himself to be taken to a Central City circus. On an exploratory mission, their leader Solovar was captured by humans.

If you're going to count characters that are mentioned without ever being seen, it's only fair to include all the named Amazons, who actually appear on screen - but you don't need to. So you're up to 13 if you take some liberties with the word "introduced," compared to Wonder Woman's 32. Sergeant Gorilla and Bat-Mite are referenced as if they might exist in the world without being introduced, Riddler was confirmed to exist in the DCEU long before Peacemaker, and Eclipso was referenced as if he doesn't exist in the world. Peacemaker, with the same standards, introduces:ĭoll Man, Mad Hatter, and Matter Eater Lad are referenced as if they exist in the world without being introduced.
