Gorilla Grodd is experimenting with Bane’s serum “Venom” that enhances his physical attributes, hoping to use it in order to enhance his physical strength and intelligence. Grodd injects himself with the Venom, which causes him to start growing bigger and stronger. However, he also grows hungry, for the altered Venom had also affected his natural animalistic appetite. He grows more hungry and starts eating a bunch of food, while the Venom continues to cause him to grow, now into a hulking musclegut gorilla. Grodd collapses onto his rear, feeling his muscles and belly.
