![]() ![]() In the 1991 Angel and the Ape limited series, Grodd is revealed as the grandfather of Angel's partner, Sam Simeon. In the final issue of Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew, Grodd travels to Earth-C in an attempt to conquer it, but is defeated by the efforts of the Zoo Crew (plus Changeling of the Teen Titans). Whether or not Grodd's plan is a failure is disputable. His plans are shattered by the sudden appearance of Titano and Ambush Bug waking from a nightmare. In Son of Ambush Bug #5 (November 1986), he travels to the Late Cretaceous " to wipe out all traces of human evolution from the time stream" (despite the fact that, at this point in time, the ancestors of humanity would be his own ancestors as well). Grodd has made no fewer than eighteen attempts to eliminate all traces of humanity from the face of the earth. When Siren switches alliances during the battle and aids Tempest in escaping, the Tartarus members go their separate ways. During the rescue attempt, Tartarus collapses upon itself due to each member having a different agenda, because Omen had purposely chosen members who would not work well together. Tempest later leads a rescue mission to save Omen from Savage. Their schemes are thwarted when the Titans intervene. Savage seeks to create a serum that will grant immortality. Grodd joins Tartarus on their mission to synthesize the immortal blood of the H.I.V.E. Savage offers promises of power and immortality. Savage approaches Grodd, offering him membership in this new anti-Titans group, Tartarus. Immortal villain Vandal Savage kidnaps Titans member Omen using her to form the perfect team of adversaries for the Teen Titans. Grodd's plans are defeated by the Flash, assisted by the Pied Piper, Vixen, and Rex the Wonder Dog. He hopes to endanger the lives of all the humans, but this plan backfires because some of the pets are too loyal to their humans. ![]() In a confrontation with Wally West, Grodd increases the brain power of most of the animals in Central City. He and Freddy are restored to their normal bodies. Ironically, Grodd, despite using radiation to negate the Flash's speed, is defeated by the gorilla's mate when she hears him mention another gorilla. Thanks to Solovar, the Flash learns of Grodd's escape. Later, he instigates the Flash's Rogues Gallery, breaking them out of jail to distract the Flash after transferring his mind to that of Freddy, a gorilla in a zoo. Grodd fakes his death by transferring his mind into a man in Central City, but is caught and arrested. The Flash arrests Grodd and takes him back to Gorilla City. ![]() After easily stopping the Flash, Grodd experiences a side effect that removes his new powers. Assuming human form, he creates a drug to strengthen his abilities. Grodd is imprisoned again, but uses a burrowing machine he built earlier to escape again. The Flash finds out from Solovar where Grodd has escaped and destroys the machine. When his power returns, he escapes and builds a machine to strip his fellow gorillas of their intelligence. The Flash defeats Grodd and temporarily removes his telepathy. Solovar breaks out of his cage and tells the Flash. Grodd probed Solovar's mind to find the secret of mind control so he could control Gorilla City, using its inhabitants to take over the world. In his first Pre-Crisis appearance he met the Flash while searching for Solovar, who had been imprisoned, during a trip to the human world. The villain manages to return again and again to plague the Flash and his allies. Solovar telepathically contacted Barry Allen to warn him of the evil gorilla's plans, and Grodd was defeated. Grodd forced one of the explorers to kill the alien and took over Gorilla City, planning to conquer the world next. The gorillas lived in peace until their home was discovered by explorers. Led by the alien, the gorillas constructed the super-advanced Gorilla City. Grodd and fellow gorilla Solovar also developed telepathic and telekinetic powers. Grodd and his tribe were imbued with super intelligence by the ship's pilot. He was an average ape until an alien spacecraft ( retconned from a radioactive meteor, which also empowered Hector Hammond) crashed in his African home. Gorilla Grodd is a hyper-intelligent telepathic gorilla able to control the minds of others. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise.
