History

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 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 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 the machine. The X-Men succeeded in defeating him as the machine explodes. It seemed that the blast killed him.

Later, he appeared in Ms. Marvel volume 1 issues 6 and 8 to steal the Cavourite crystal and with it, destroy the world, thereby exacting his revenge on humanity. 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.
