Gorgolla, or Gargolla the Living Gargoyle is a fictional monster character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Publication history
Gorgolla first appeared in Strange Tales vol. 1 #74 (April 1960) and was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Dick Ayers.
Fictional character biography
Gorgolla is a Stonian and the son of Granitor who ruled the Stonians. He led an invasion to Earth centuries ago and arranged for the Stonians to hide out as gargoyles. He was seemingly killed by the Stonia army when they were revived as they had learned peace from humanity.[1]
Upon hearing about what happened to Gorgolla, King Granitor sent his legion of assassins to kill the Stonians responsible.[2]
Gorgolla later turned up alive where he was actually taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and placed in their Howling Commandos Monster Force as seen in the director's cut of the first issue.[3]
At some point, Gorgolla relocated to Monster Isle. He was among the monsters that attacked Shadowcat and Magik when they came for a mutant girl named Bo. Not wanting to keep fighting Gorgolla and the rest of Monster Isle's inhabitants, Magik teleported herself, Kitty Pryde, and Bo back to the Jean Grey Institute for Higher Learning.[4]
Powers and abilities
Gorgolla was a giant rocky creature who could fly.
