Man Ape

Man Ape is the best of the white gorilla tribe that was wiped out by the Black Panther tribe. With Klaw's help, M'Baku the Man Ape was able to kill the Black Panther king to take over the tribe. The entire tribe bows to him as their new leader, except T'Challa, who becomes the new Black Panther and flees to New York to seek help. In "Panther's Quest," Man-Ape speaks with Grim Reaper about HYDRA's purchasing of the Vibranium. He tells Grim Reaper that if he and HYDRA double-cross him, he won't live to regret it. Black Panther and Captain America confront Man-Ape who sends the guards to fight them. Man-Ape ends up fighting Black Panther where Man-Ape uses a sound device given to him by Klaw. Black Panther manages to overcome the sound device and takes down Man-Ape, liberating Wakanda from Man-Ape's rule. It is uncertain if he was taken to the Negative Zone by the Avengers or not.

In Ultima, Man Ape was broken out of jail by Padro Lodo, who offered him membership to the Organization in exchange for the head of Black Panther on a wooden platter. Man Ape agreed, and he is now currently a member of the Cyborg Reaper's Lethal Legion, having been granted super strength to rival Thor by Dr. Eggman's experiments.
