In Flash #127, we meet up again with Grodd the Super-Gorilla, after a year’s absence in the comic books. Previously, Grodd’s consciousness was placed in that of a human, but managed to still get captured by The Flash. Now the human has been paroled and his gorilla mind is starting to re-assert itself. He makes his way back to Gorilla City just as he de-volves back into gorilla form and discovers that city’s leader Solovar is about to marry a beautiful gorilla named Boka.<\/p>\n\n\n

Naturally, Grodd goes to work in his laboratory, building a machine to give himself “neo-magnetism”. It works and everyone around him falls into helpless adoration. Not happy with just ruling Gorilla City, Grodd strikes out to take on human civilization, convincing a desperate politic party (in whatever state Central City happens to be in) to run him for governor. His powers of animal magnetism even work over television like some other hairy apes I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flash catches wind of this and runs around learning that Grodd’s magnetic aura extends for 100 miles in every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Flash figures out how to vibrate such that he is not affected by Grodd’s magnetic radiation, then … spins Grodd around until he falls and knocks himself out, apparently ejecting all the neo-magnetism from him. What trash writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grodd once again is behind bars and all is safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
