Man, you better not be ragging on my girl Ape-X.

The only thing I ever read with Water Wizard in it was Fred Hembeck Destroys The Marvel Universe. I was floored to read OHOTMU later and find out he was a real character.

Are there any established gorilla or gorilla-based villains in the Marvel Universe?
DC has Gorilla Grodd and Monsieur Mallah for starters. Maybe he's just excited for the novelty.

One of the Red Ghost's super apes is a gorilla.

Either here or in another thread in BSS we went over this, there's a ton of gorillas and other apes in super-hero comics from both big publishers, but a shockingly small number of monkeys.

Nice. I love how excited he is to have the strength of a gorilla, which would be cool for a normal person, but wouldn't be anywhere near the magnitude of strength for a lot of superheros.

The dude in the Headmen is one of the three Gorilla Mans. And Man Ape counts.

Gorillas seem like such a Golden- or early Silver-age thing. And I guess I associate that kinda thing with DC more readily.

(I also found a Wikipedia list of fictional primates in comics. Technically, it should've included all human characters, but it limited itself to apes and monkeys.)

it's really a gorilla-shaped suit of power armor. but he talks constantly, so there's no pretense that it is an actual gorilla running around doing crimes. the dude is living his best life, is all.

Not a gorilla, but the Gibbon (Marvel) has the incel-dream power of pheromones that allow him control over women.

And yeah, I missed the lead-ins to that storyline in question. Gonna flip back towhere I need to be to catch up, which is just after X-Man's little reality-bending power trip, which was just before I ripped through Captain America from volume 3 on, plus a shitload of one-shots and limiteds.

Marvel had their share too... I would assume given Stan’s predilection for circuses, this ape somehow escaped from one. Also, holy lack of perspective on this!

I feel like every cover of Jimmy Olsen has Superman apologizing.

"Sorry Jimmy, but I have to destroy your Christmas presents to teach you a lesson."
