After a huge build-up last season for a single full-episode appearance, iconic Flash villain Gorilla Grodd will make his way back to The Flash during Season Two,
Grodd, for those who didn't watch or don't remember, is a hyperintelligent gorilla with abnormal strength and reflexes. In the comics, he got his powers from meteorite exposure, along with another gorilla named Solovar, who is king of a whole culture of superintelligent gorillas. In the TV show, he has enhanced strength and mental powers as a result of being near the particle accelerator when it exploded.
Grodd has been a major nemesis of the Flash ever since Barry Allen took the job; he first appeared in 1959's Flash #106. In more recent comics, he's been known to have a loose connection to the Speed Force, giving him enhanced speed not on the level of Barry Allen, but certainly enough to make him a serious threat given all his other abilities.
