HistoryEdit
Gor-Tok was a prince of a once great civilization that had been existent many more years than the "Outer World," the normal world above ground. They were a great warrior people who won many wars. There were groups of them throughout the thousands of miles of caverns bellow ground. As his father was planning to take an army above ground to conquer the people there, a great earthquake destroyed all of the underground civilization and killed all of its people except for him. It caused him to become mutated by radiation, which made him inhuman in appearance. He believed the world above him was the cause of the destruction of his people, and believed it was his duty to avenge his people. The earthquake was caused by Dr. Hunt who had invented a machine, which could cause seismic tremors.
He first confronted Iceman and the Beast in a subway tunnel where he eventually escaped into an underground cavern. He originally had had amnesia, but while exploring the caverns, he regained his memories. He then sought to use the machine to destroy the whole Earth even if it caused him to lose his life in the process. He then confronted the X-Men, while using Dr. Hunt's machine. The X-Men succeeded in defeating him as the machine exploded. It seemed at the time that the blast had killed him.
Later, he tried to to steal the Cavourite crystal and with it, destroy the world, thereby exacting his revenge on humanity.[1] Ms. Marvel appeared to battle him but failed in preventing him from obtaining the crystal. After a brief run in with M.O.D.O.K. and AIM, Carol Danvers, while out on a date on the beach, discovered Grotesk trying to use high intensity laser to activate the crystals matrix interface. This time, Carol Danvers, now in the form of Ms. Marvel, was able to stop Grotesk. However, Grotesk was sucked into the power of the crystal, transporting him to another dimension. It is unknown whether the cavourite crystal killed Grotesk, or merely transported him to another universe where he lies in wait, his hatred towards humanity boiling inside him.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Powers
As a disembodied spirit, Grotesk maintained his physical presence via mystic armor. His armor was highly durable and likely enabled strength comparable to, if not greater than, his original form's. It further provided a virtually impenetrable force field that disrupted mystic energies, as well as enabled projection of energy blasts from its gauntlets and likely other abilities. In physical form, Grotesk possessed superhuman strength (Class 75), durability and agility. He was resistant to telepathic attacks, possibly via radioactive interference, altered brain tissue and/or activity or dense flesh and bone. He was adapted to subterranean living, possessing infra-red vision and likely increased retinal rods, enhancing his vision in low light but also making him more sensitive to sudden bright lights. He could function well in low oxygen environments (including thick smoke) as well as in extremes of heat or cold. Grotesk could telepathically control the Lava Men (both directing their actions and eliminating and/or restoring speech capacity), though this may have been done via technology.

Abilities
An intuitive genius with a mechanical aptitude, Grotesk was frequently limited by his overriding hatred of humanity. He nonetheless could design technology to harness electrical storms and transfer their power in usable form to other artifacts, such as the Living Rock. He could operate Deviant-designed technology with great proficiency.
ParaphernaliaEdit
Equipment
Grotesk's original armor used a variety of studs attached to his armor, each with different effects, such as a solid smoke-screen with the appearance of a mist but the material strength of solid stone; energy absorption and reflection; and presumably others. He used a spy scope to monitor his enemies, and had access to other advanced technologies of Deviant origin. Grotesk also carried a war club, which was once the scepter of the Gor-Tokians and appeared to be made of stone, but this shattered against Thor's dense Asgardian flesh.
