'The Flash' Season 1 Spoilers, News: Gorilla Grodd and The Nuclear Man
"The Flash" Episode 12 "Crazy for You" featured towards its end a hideous, gigantic creature, dragging two sewer pipe workers probably to their death.
A lot of fans were asking, was that a gorilla? Apparently, it was and he was called Gorilla Grodd.
For starters, Grodd has been a part of the "The Flash" fiction as a highly intelligent primate having the ability to control minds. A native of the so-called Gorilla City, Grodd's tribesmen incurred human-like consciousness and the intelligence when a space rock hit the jungle they lived in.

In the comics, Barry Allen encounters Grodd's kind when he was once stranded in his travels. The gorillas regarded the speedster as the man mentioned in the prophecy. The idea threatened Grodd and this forced the animal to make attempts in killing the Red Streak.
"We're going to have to get the technology right and all the stuff right to make it look and feel real. But a lot of times, we do this stuff not as a tease as much as a challenge to ourselves of, 'Can we do it?' Grodd's definitely one of those, so we hope we pull it off," executive producer Greg Berlanti told TVLine.
A lot is still yet to be discovered about the importance of the first meta-animal in the TV series adaptation.
For the meantime, this week's showing will feature Dr. Caitlin's (Danielle Panabaker) meta-boyfriend Ronnie (Robbie Amell) and his involvement with Dr. Martin Stein's (Victor Garber) F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. project.
The Futon Critic provided a full synopsis of the episode titled "The Nuclear Man" where it reads:
"After Ronnie attacks a physicist (guest star Bill Dow), Barry (Grant Gustin) and the team realize they need to go after Caitlin's fiancé who is now a dangerous meta-human. They deduce the best way to track Ronnie is to find Dr. Martin Stein who was working on a project called F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. Barry struggles to balance his duties as The Flash and his relationship with Linda Park (guest star Malese Jow), and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) enlists Cisco's (Carlos Valdes) help to reinvestigate the murder of Nora Allen (guest star Michelle Harrison). General Eiling (Clancy Brown) returns to Central City."
"The Flash" Season 1 airs every Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
