Gerard the Gorilla was an avant-garde supervillain and a member of a legion of New York-based villains called The Doom Factory.
History[]
Wes Warhammer and, by extension, The Doom Factory received arching rights to Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture as part of Wide Wale's Fiends and Family Plan. The villains threw a "Happening" in the penthouse of VenTech Tower, distracting Dr. Venture while they stole his scientific equipment and inventions.[1]
While the rest of the legion threw their "Happening", Gerard created silkscreen prints and danced to the music in Venture's penthouse.
He apparently died along with the rest of The Doom Factory when their flying headquarters was blown up by the second Blue Morpho.

Trivia[]
- Gerard the Gorilla is a parody mash-up of DC Comics villain Gorilla Grodd (referred to as "Grodd the Gorilla" on Challenge of the Super Friends) and Warhol superstar Gerard Malanga.
- Jackson Publick described Gerard Malanga, the inspiration for Gerard the Gorilla, as "Warhol's right-hand man. He was the guy who did most of the work in terms of the silk-screening and shit like that."[2]
