>Batman's archnemesis is Joker, a sadistic and vicious psychopath gangster, who embodies chaos against Batman's order
I can see that
>Superman's archnemesis is Lex Luthor, a genius and malicious millionaire who wishes to find powers that would surpass Superman
Understandable
>Flash's archnemesis is a fucking gorilla
What were they thinking?

Flash has many archnemeses

Most people would consider Reverse Flash/Dr Zoom or Captain Cold to be Flash's arch enemies, but if you read all the comics that came out during the Silver Age the most recurring villain in Flash comics and the one Flash fought the most was in fact Gorilla Grodd for some reason, they would spam him in 2 issues back to back sometimes only to use another villain for one issue and the go right back to Grodd, I found it weird but from what I read someone at DC thought that comic books with Gorillas/Monkeys on the covers sold better at the time apparently

>>151700900
That "fucking gorilla" started the silver age and got marvel to start making superhero mags again. You're welcom.

So did they or was that just bullshit?
>>
>>151700900
An adult gorilla can break your leg just like that, so it makes sense that it's a runner's arch-enemy.
>>
>>151701002
Flash is too kind a superhero to choose just one supervillain archenemy.

he doesn't have that many. his big ones are Reverse Flash, Captain Cold, and Gorilla Grodd.

>>151700900
flash represents advancement, evolution, the future
gorillas represents primitivism, regression, moving backwards
youre welcome reading comprehensionlet
>>
>>151700900
There are so many fucking gorillas in DC, man. Even fucking Batman Beyond had one.
>>
>>151700900
Flash's archenemy is actually Reverse-Flash nowadays.
>>
>>151700900
His arch changed into Thawne, just like how Wonder Woman's archenemy Post-Crisis was Circe instead of Cheetah.

I fail to see the issue.

Alright wise guys, now explain why Atom's archenemy is Chronos.

I wasn't aware Terry Gilliam was a superbillard?

Barry Allen is a creation of the Silver Age, when things were balls to the wall on a regular basis.
Thus, Grodd isn't that unusual.

With gorillas having tiny dicks compared to humans, I wonder of that would even work.

Thats how dc always boosted sales
Imo grodd shouldve been an orangutan
We could get groddrangutan driving a car in shades
But flashes arch nemesis is reverse flash with cold and rogues following
Grodd is dedicated big plan villian
>>
>>151705591
I assume this was like, time vs. space.
>>
>>151701002
Cold and reverse really, the others arent.
>>
>>151700900
Aren't there many evil gorillas in DC though? Also before Lex Luthor, Ultra-Humanite was considered his arch nemesis.
>>
>>151700900
Monseiur Mallah > Gorilla Grodd
>>
>>151710180
Ultra-Humanite mogs them both.
>>
>>151710216
Ultra-Humanite is technically a human.
>>
>>151710291
The best type of ape.

Grodd isn't really *the* Flash villain. He's got a lot of paneltime, but he's obviously not as *arch*-enemy as Reverse or Zoom for Wally or sometimes Captain Cold or the Rogues in general.

I guess it's fair to say that there is a lot more Grodd than you would expect though. He's not exactly the most nuanced character in terms of development and doesn't exactly usually have the most interesting connection to any of the Flash family.

>>151710144
Ultra-Humanite only decided to become a gorilla, he wasn't a gorilla to begin with. He's an evil human who mind-murdered an innocent albino gorilla. Important distinction.
>>
>>151700900
I wanna rub his big belly...
>>
>>151711837
Not sure if gorillas tolerate that.
>>
>>151700900
Flash fans of /co/, what makes Gorilla Grodd an even match for the Flash? Joker is unpredictable, Luthor has social standing... what does Grodd have against a guy that can run really fast? I don't know anything about him.
>>
>>151700900
>What were they thinking?
Well, they needed one with a hard R, innit.

>>151711906
What about his chest?

He's a very smart ape.
>>
>>151712087
Extremely powerful psychic.
Basically think Professor X if he could walk and was a 600 pound gorilla.
>>
>>151712441
He can walk currently.

>>151700900
>a fucking gorilla
That's very explicit for a super Hero comic.
>>
>>151712434
>>151712441
Well fuck, that's cooler than I expected. What's the best Grodd story?

>>151702444
>A hacksaw could cut through your leg just like that, so it makes sense that Hacksaw Man is a runner's arch-enemy

Grodd also typically has psychic powers. And has stolen Flash's powers more than once. He is also stronger than the average ape. As well as the obvious super intellect.
