History

Image:Quote1.png Hurry! When we have finished here we will go to the great city that stands by the water! That is the next step in my plan to conquer mankind! Image:Quote2.png
-- Grottu

At some point during the 1950s, the deviant leader known as Kro assumed the identity of a Soviet soldier and conducted several nuclear tests in the Kenyan desert of Mombassa. The radiation from the tests mutated a common ant, increasing his size and strength a thousand fold, and granted him human-level intellect. Calling himself Grottu, he declared himself King of all insects, and set about on a plan to conquer the world. His efforts were foiled by monster-hunter Ulysses Bloodstone (posing as a man named Frank), who succeeded in turning Grotto's ant followers against him, leaving him for dead.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Superhuman Strength: Grottu's strength level is several thousand times that of a normal ant, but his strength level is proportionate to an animal of his size and weight.
  • Superhuman Durability: Grottu's carapace is highly durable and can withstand impact from most conventional weaponry.
  • Animal Control: Grottu has the ability to communicate and control the hive minds of ants through the two antennae atop his head. The Ants are forced to do his bidding regardless of the command. When the monster-hunter, Frank, broke Grottu's antennae, he lost his ability to communicate with the ant colony's hive mind.
