A villainous super-gorilla, and an enemy of the Justice League.
Description[]
Grodd has the appearance of an extra-large gorilla, with Firestorm reckoning his weight at 800 pounds (364 kg). He is said to be "superintelligent" and is able to speak in a deep, gruff voice. Having a hatred for all humans, he considers them to be inferior and has a megalomaniacal desire to conquer the world and replace them. Despite this, Grodd can doubt himself and admits difficulty in overcoming his emotions in heated situations. He is offended when others make fun of apes.
His enhanced strength and toughness enable him to engage in combat with Superman, and he is also able to exert mind control, but only when wearing a special helmet and only over the giant chimp Titano while sitting inside a protective compartment.
Grodd can be supported by an army of thirty or forty gorilla henchmen who travel in flying transports. Unlike their leader, they wear tunics and carry ray guns.
He comes from a place called Gorilla City (usually located in Africa) and refers to his fellow apes as "simiankind."
