Gorgon

History

When the Kree refuges came to Attilan for refuge, they actually came to kill Gorgon and the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family. Gorgon was seen along with Medusa, Black Bolt, Ahura and Karnak in a garden since the Inhuman Royal Family renounced their claim of power. Before they can shoot Black Bolt senses them and sends a bolt of energy towards their way. Gorgon stomps the ground, making it shake, unfortunately the Kree soldiers were prepared for this. He tries again but is knocked unconscious. He awakes and with the others is teleported outside Attilan and held at gunpoint by other Kree soldiers. He attacks them until their boss comes and tells them the situation. He then goes to the Genetics council to hear the decision. Gorgon is teleported to the mists to attack the Kree who are trying to use them. He attacks the brute Kree who is stronger than him. But the create dies from exposure to the mists.

Gorgon is a member of the Royal Family of the Inhumans.  He was sent by their one-time leader, Maximus, to find Medusa and return her to Attilan. Gorgon found her outside the Fantastic Four’s Baxter Building and attacked her and the Human Torch, who she had captured to help her escape. He used his powerful legs to climb the side of the building, hurt Mister Fantastic when he reached out to see who it was, and stole their helicopter after kicking their Fantasticar and Pogo Plane, thus disabling their transport. He chased Medusa and the Torch to New York’s State University where he confronted an escaped Dragon Man, who protected Medusa from him. He continued to fight the Dragon Man, then the rest of the Fantastic Four, until the android created enough of a distraction for him to escape to the Inhumans hideout with Medusa.

There, he discovered the Human Torch alongside his cousin, Crystal, who believed Johnny to be a fellow Inhuman. Gorgon and Triton then attacked the Torch until he escaped through the roof to alert the rest of the Fantastic Four. Together, the Inhumans, led by Black Bolt, battled with the four, until Crystal announced that Triton had been taken by the Seeker, who had been sent to bring them all back to Attilan. Black Bolt then commanded Lockjaw to transport them, and they disappeared off the rooftop, with the Torch and Crystal trying to stay together, but being torn apart.

They appeared back in Attilan, where Maximus explained that he had Gorgon bring Medusa back to be his queen. Gorgon apologized and claimed ignorance of his motives. Then, Maximus taunted Black Bolt about his stolen crown until Black Bolt tore it from his hands by force, reclaiming the leadership of the Inhumans. But soon the Fantastic Four appeared, having followed the Seeker back to the refuge, and argued with Black Bolt, telling him that he and the Inhumans should rejoin the human race. While they discussed it, Maximus set off his atmo-gun, with the intention of destroying all the humans on the planet. When it failed to work, as evidenced by the Fantastic Four’s survival, Medusa deduced that it proved the Inhumans were of the same race as humans. This infuriated Maximus, and he reversed his machine, creating a Negative Zone around Attilan that trapped the Inhumans inside, while the Fantastic Four narrowly escaped.

Black Bolt later revealed his secret: that the use of his voice released destructive energy, and he was forced to use it to destroy the barrier surrounding Attilan. The Council of Elders then decreed that the royal family should split up and explore the human world.

Sometime later, after the terrigen crystals were stolen by Quicksilver and then confiscated by General Demetrius Lazer, Gorgon led a sleeper cell in an ill-fated attempt to force the humans to return them. Captured by S.H.I.E.L.D., he was forced to undergo secondary terregenesis (an effort by S.H.I.E.L.D. to determine that the mists could be classified as a weapon of mass destruction), which has turned him into a monster.

Powers & Abilities

Like all Inhumans, Gorgon was exposed to the mutating effects of the Terrigan Mists. Altough he is in about the 2 ton class in lifting strength, his ability are more defined by his legs. His mutation took the form of horse-like legs, hoofed feet, and the ability to create vibration on the molecular level and cause massive seismic tremors when he stomps his hooves. A member of the Inhuman royal family, Gorgon leads the royal military and serves as bodyguard to his king, Black Bolt of the Inhumans.

Gorgon is superhumanly strong, more so than most other Inhumans, and was previously capable of lifting approximtely 2.5 tons. His current strength since undergoing secondary terregenesis is unrevealed, but the upper limit is presumed to be exponentially higher than it was previously. Gorgon's musculature produces less fatigue toxin during physical activity than the musculature of a human. He could previously physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him. His current stamina is unknown, but it takes a liter of tiletmine to keep him unconscious, and this dosage must be given hourly in order to be effective, so his stamina is much higher. The tissues of Gorgon's body are somewhat harder and more resistant to injury than those of a human being. Gorgon can withstand impact and blunt trauma forces that would cripple or kill a human being and suffer from only mild discomfort. However, Gorgon is not invulnerable and can be injured in ways similar to a human. For instance, he can be hurt by weapons composed of conventional materials. Gorgon's legs are thickly muscled, allowing him to do massive damage by kicking something or someone, or he can use them to create seismic shocks by stomping the ground with his hooves. As a result, Gorgon can generate shockwaves with a strength of 7.5 on the Richter Scale, or 9.5 if near a fault line.
