Gorilla Grodd (Arrowverse)

About

Grodd, also known as Gorilla Grodd,[1] is a silverback gorilla that was experimented on by S.T.A.R. Labs. After being exposed to the energy from the particle accelerator, Grodd escaped his cage and developed great strength and intelligence as well as powerful psychic abilities, becoming a near-unstoppable enemy of the Flash after being brought up under the influence of the Reverse-Flash. Having previously cared for Grodd, Caitlin Snow was sympathetic to his condition as the only meta-gorilla, so eventually she and Team Flash sent him to where he could be with more of his kind in Gorilla City. However, Grodd wanted power, plotting to dethrone Solovar and to take over Central City on with a gorilla army. After this failed, he was locked up by A.R.G.U.S.

Due to a rupture of time caused by the Legends, Grodd ended up as an anachronism in 1967 Vietnam, starting his own cult and fighting the Legends, before being found and recruited as a follower of Mallus by Damien Darhk. Upon their defeat, Grodd was sent back to A.R.G.U.S. by the Time Bureau, from where he secretly orchestrated a breakout on the night of the Enlightenment. About a year later, he resurfaced and tried to steal King Shark's telepathic crown so he'd be able to amplify his powers and to the point that he'd be able to control the minds of everyone in Central City. He was defeated by King Shark and Team Flash and placed back in A.R.G.U.S. custody, this time in a medically-induced coma to keep him from using his rapidly increasing mental power.

A year later on Earth-Prime, Grodd's mind connected with Barry's and he claimed to have changed after everything that happened. Together, they broke out of the coma and A.R.G.U.S. allowed Grodd to return Gorilla City peacefully under supervision. Due to his abilities, Grodd appears to remember his original life before the Crisis.
