#NIMBLE BASE CABINETS SERIES#

Their schemes are thwarted when the Titans intervene. Mistress Addie Kane as 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 approaches Grodd, offering him membership in this new anti-Titans group known as Tartarus and promises of power and immortality. Immortal villain Vandal Savage kidnaps Titans member Omen 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 all the humans' lives, but this plan backfires because some of the pets are too loyal to their humans. In a confrontation with Wally West, Grodd increases most of the animals' brain power in Central City. During the hunt for a sorcerer's treasures, Grodd is able to fend off Wally West and escape him using the mentally-commanded Quadro-Mobile, then later knocks Captain Comet unconscious, and is shown to be able to hypnotize the new Star Sapphire, as well as protect others from mental probing. In this series, Grodd defeats Kalibak, the son of Darkseid, in a hand-to-hand grudge brawl, but is later defeated by Captain Comet who is able to repel Grodd's mental energy. Grodd is recruited along with several other villains as one of the original members of the Secret Society of Super Villains. 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 again imprisoned, but uses a burrowing machine he built earlier to escape. The Flash finds out from Solovar where Grodd has escaped to 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 the 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 the hero's allies.

Solovar telepathically contacted Barry Allen to warn 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 of gorillas 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 Grodd's African home. Gorilla Grodd is a hyper-intelligent telepathic gorilla able to control the minds of others.
