List of Marvel Comics characters: G#Gorr the Golden Gorilla

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a fictional character: This is a redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional work or list of characters. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this character, a standalone list of characters, or a subsection of an article or list.
- For redirects named for fictional places use {{R from fictional location}}, and for those named for fictional elements (objects or concepts), use {{R from fictional element}}.

To a list entry: This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.
- For redirects from a topic to a related list and not to an entry on that list, use {{R from list topic}} instead.

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Gorr the Golden Gorilla (Q5586850).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-Gorr is a golden [[gorilla]] given human intelligence and greatly increased strength by the [[High Evolutionary]].<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #172</ref>
-Fearing that [[Galactus]] was about to destroy his creation [[Counter-Earth (comics)|Counter-Earth]], the High Evolutionary created Gorr and sent him to Earth to seek the aid of the [[Fantastic Four]].{{issue|date=August 2012}} However, when he arrived on Earth, Gorr became inexplicably mutated into a [[King Kong]]-sized monstrosity and went on a rampage through Manhattan, climbing to the top of the [[Chrysler Building]].<ref name="mnyc">{{cite book | last = Sanderson | first = Peter | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City | publisher = [[Pocket Books]] | year = 2007 | location = New York City | pages = 49–51 | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 1-4165-3141-6}}</ref> When the Fantastic Four intervened, Gorr duped them into coming aboard his ship and transported them to Counter-Earth. The Fantastic Four, High Evolutionary, and Gorr were unable to convince Galactus not to destroy Counter-Earth, though Galactus challenged them to find a replacement within 48 hours. Gorr and the [[Human Torch]] found an Earth-like planet, which turned out to be inhabited by [[Skrull]]s. The Skrulls abandoned the planet after an altercation with Gorr, leaving the planet uninhabited and thus worthless to Galactus. Ultimately, the [[Impossible Man]] convinced Galactus to devour his own planet of Poppup instead. Gorr remained with the High Evolutionary as a "[[valet]]."<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #171-175</ref>
-Much later, Gorr became a prisoner/research project of the [[Stranger (comics)|Stranger]], held captive on his laboratory world alongside Stranger's other prisoners.<ref>''Quasar #14-15</ref> When the [[Overmind (comics)|Overmind]] attacked the Stranger, he freed the Stranger's captives including Gorr who escaped.<ref>''Quasar'' #16</ref>

-Gorr is a golden-colored gorilla given human intelligence and greatly increased strength by the [[High Evolutionary]]. Gorr also has an immunity to fire.
-==Gorr the God Butcher==
-===Publication history===
-[[Jason Aaron]] and [[Esad Ribic]] decided to reboot the Thor franchise during the [[Marvel Now]] initiative. Gorr first appeared in Thor: God of Thunder #2 (January, 2013).

-===Fictional character biography===
-[[File:Gorr_the_god_butcher.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Gorr from ''Thor: God of Thunder''. Pencils by [[Esad Ribic]].]]
-Gorr grew up on a nameless barren planet. When his mate and children died, he thought gods didn't exist. When he learned they do exist and didn't help him and his mate, he vowed to kill them all after acquiring the All-Black the Necrosword.<ref>Thor: God of Thunder #6</ref> He eventually finds young [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Odinson]] on Earth in [[Medieval]] [[Iceland]]. He nearly kills Thor, but a band of [[Vikings]] come to rescue him. Gorr escapes, but learns he needs help, so creates an army of shadow berserkers, then slowly and quietly eliminates more and more gods. In the present, Thor notices the missing gods and investigates their disappearances. This brings Gorr and Thor to another battle, but Gorr then teleports into the future, where an aged Thor is the last Asgardian defending the realm against the shadow berserkers. Gorr also brings into the future the young Thor and is about to set off the Godbomb. The Necrosword is actually a construct of Gorr's deceased son and despises what his father has turned into, so it gives Thor the power to adsorb the blast. Thor, the Avenger then uses two Moljnirs to kill Gorr.<ref>Thor: God of Thunder #11 (October, 2013)</ref>
-===Powers and abilities===
-Gorr's possesses the "All-Black the Necrosword", which creates wings, weapons, and a shroud out of darkness. He can create sharp tendrils that can kill any god, including [[Asgard (comics)|Asgardians]]. The blade is later banished into a [[blackhole]], but an elderly King Thor uses it to battle [[Galactus]].<ref> ''Thor: God of Thunder'' #23</ref> Gorr also created the Godbomb, an anti-divinity armament designed to kill every god who had or ever would exist.
