| Origin |
| The
gorillas of Gorilla City are an ancient and advanced race of
hyper-intelligent apes, whose ancestors gained their abilities from
radiation emanating from a meteor which fell to Earth. Although shielded
from the outside world by a cloaking force field, which can only be perceived
by its inhabitants, the city's existence became known when the criminal
Grodd
escaped imprisonment by diverting the force field's power supply.
Forced to seek
recognition by the United Nations, the gorillas lived in relative harmony
with humanity, but there was mounting evidence that continued exposure
would erode Gorilla City's culture. Eventually a plan was devised to
erase all knowledge of Gorilla City's location from the general human
population, and it once again became a hidden city. |
