Gibbon

Gibbon is Martin Blank – a mutant whose mutation gave him the abilites of an ape (enhanced strength and speed, great agility, dexterity, balance and endurance etc).

He used his abilities to perform in the circus as an acrobat, where he wore a gibbon costume – at which point he was a friend of Spider-Man’s. He even asked to be the superhero’s sidekick, but he was laughed at by the Webbed Wonder.

Angered by the rejection, he accepted an offer to have his powers enhanced by Kraven the Hunter. Kraven gave him a broth made from herbs that changed his appearance to be more ape-like and gave him an animalistic rage.

Newly-increased in power and still angry with Spider-Man for rejecting him, he sought the superhero out and attacked him in a failed attempt to prove that he was as good as him. His relationship with Spidey is up and down, but he’s generally a thorn in his side. However, with a silly name like “Gibbon” and the clumsy, stupid, self-deprecating nature of his personality, he’d be rubbish in a movie.
