Gorgilla (Earth-7045)

Gorgilla is a monster mutated from some species of ape. Making a living in Borneo, it is remembered by the native tribes as a god of vengeance.

History
Originally an unknown creature mutated by the Deviants and placed on Borneo with several other deviant experiments. A group of scientists traced humanity's missing link to the island of Borneo and mounted an expedition in order to locate its remains. They were shocked to learn that the locals referred to the creature as the God of Vengeance that lives upon "midnight mountain". The group listened in disbelief as they were told that the missing link still lived in a land untouched by time. After journeying further inland, they came face to face with Gorgilla. Gorgilla attacked the scientists at first, but later defended them against a crocodile when they reached a river. The scientists thought that Gorgilla must have decided that he felt more of a kinship with the explorers than the reptile. He beat the reptile, but was weakened after the fight. Though the scientists realized that he could be easily captured, they decided to leave him be as he had saved their lives.

Powers
As a giant ape, Gorgilla possesses superhuman strength, durability, and agility. It also has a prehensile tail similar to a New World monkey.
