Since this is a reintroduction for the New 52, I did a reimagining rather than simple redesign: Sociologist Nathan 'Gorilla' Grodd got his nickname from his horrible attitude towards people and the extreme and backward point of view to the modern culture/society. He was led to a mysterious device in an African jungle ruin and 'wished' for his physical transform to an ape (slowly), gained telepathy. Defeated by the Flash, he retreated to the jungle ruin and formed a tribe with his mind-controlled apes. Hidden in the Gorilla City, Grodd continued his transformation and planned to apply such to all humans."

"I went for a classic super villain look -- something an evil version of Superman might wear."
[UPDATE]A couple more Grodd's came in that, considering the time frame, I felt constituted going with this post, rather than another at a later date. Enjoy!

"Grodd is a psi-powered, super-strong, hi-tech threat in the DC Universe. That means he should be able to out-think, out-power, and out-gun about any superhero in the DCU. I think that makes him pretty bada**."

"I wanted to show Gorilla Grodd in a very raw stage of his rise in power. He's just beginning to create technology to enhance his powers, only wearing partial armor and exposed headgear. I also wanted to give him a very human posture and expression."
What do you all think? Pretty good stuff, eh? Sound off in the comments to let us know what you think, and be sure to
