Greedy gargantuan gorillas, indeed! Originally, this pair were normal men who became freaks of nature due to strange serums, and nearly overcame their versatile adveraries... Animal Man and Mister Terrific. Possessing tremendous strength from mutated bodies, the pair engaged in a crimewave that left the authorities stunned by their ferocity.
Mod Gorilla Boss first attacked Buddy "Animal Man" Baker during a jewelry store heist. Amazed that he was unable to replicate the gorilla's abilities as he could other nearby mammals, Animal Man was captured. However, he soon discovered while under captivity that this mod boss was taking regular injections of a chemical concoction which caused him to transform into his bestial state. Battling this faux-gorilla, Animal Man was able to cause his opponents serum to wear off.
Gorilla Gantry was originally pharmacist Clarence Twillins, whose pharmacy was near the pharmaceutical plant owned by Sloane Industries. Thrown into a nearby stream polluted with Sloane's :Cur-It" cough medicine by counterfeiters operating a printery in Twillins building, Clarence transformed into his bestial form. As Gorilla Gantry, he sought murderous vengeance against the gangsters, and initially overpowering Terry "Mister Terrific" Sloane, However, Terrific used Ammonium Nitrate gas to disorient and incapcitate Gantry. Whether he retained his faux-gorilla gerth while in captivity is unknown.
