Gibbon
Gibbon is a comic book character that first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #110The Gibbon's unsuccesful attempts as a criminal and a hero branded him a loser.
Martin Blank was born with monkey-like features and stayed in an orphanage. He was always teased as a kid and it continued as he grew up. When the orphanage could no longer take care of him, Martin worked at the circus. They wanted him to dress up in a monkey suit and entertain the crowd with his awesome agility and gorilla-like strength. He was constantly teased and laughed at so he left the circus after a week. He then meets Spider Man and they become aquaintances. He told Spider Man he wanted to be his partner but Spider Man just laughed at the idea. Gibbon became enraged and attacks Spidey for laughing at him. Spider Man brushes off his assault and leaves the Gibbon upset and frustrated.Kraven the Hunter approaches the Gibbon and tells him he has the potential to become something special. He gives the Gibbon a potion that "unleashes the beast within him" and fills him with animal rage. The Gibbon attacks Kraven but during the struggle Kraven manages to dominate the fight and establish some type of mindlink. He tells the Gibbon with his ability and strength linked with Kraven's mind, they can triumph over Spider Man. Gibbon attacks Spider Man on a rooftop and Kraven instructs him to kill Spider Man. The Gibbon's head is throbbing with pain and refuses to kill Spider Man. He releases Spider Man but the mental strain was too much and the Gibbon falls off the roof. Spider Man saves the Gibbon's life and realized that Martin wasn't responsible for what he tried to do.
The Gibbon would later team up with Kangaroo, Grizzly and the Spot and be known as the Legion of Losers. This team would prove unsuccessful and quickly disbanded. Gibbon was later seen at the Bar with No Name attending the funeral of Stilt Man. He apparently survived the assault by the Punisher and is now a potential recruit for the Initiative program.
