Major Story Arcs
The Goon Volume 1
The chimpanzee was captured by Lazlo and brought to the Zombie Priest to be experimented on; the Zombie Priest claimed he was going to turn it into a gigantic 15 foot version of itself and make it a zombie. It is revealed later on that the Zombie Priest was successful, as the Giant Zombie Chimp arrives to battle The Goon when he bursts into the Zombie’s hideout. Despite the Chimp’s large size, The Goon prove to be too much for him, as he was hit in a weak point (his stomach), had his eyes gouged out by Goon’s fists, and was blown up.
The Goon Volume 3
Due to his fight with ‘The Goon’ the Zombie Chimp was in miserable shape; having much of his body blown apart and his eyes gouged out. Thankfully for the Chimp, the Zombie Priest was able to bring him back to life, adding him once again to his undead army. The Zombie Chimp proved a fearsome foe in combat and was on the front lines when The Goon and his crew of Merle, Franky, Bruno, Dr. Alloy and the Mud Brothers attempted to rescue Buzzard. Dr. Alloy’s robot servant, Bruno, wound up clashing with the Chimp to buy time for the others to escape. Unfortunately for both the Chimp and Bruno, Dr. Alloy activated Bruno’s self-destruct sequence causing Bruno to explode, resulting in the apparent deaths of both him and the Chimp.
Powers & Abilities
The Giant Zombie Chimp is highly resistant to damage and was able to function after having it’s stomach blown apart, this is due to it’s undead nature. It is also incredibly strong and is far more aggressive than a normal chimpanzee.
