Formerly the leader of the black ops program The Phantom X Project, hyperintelligent silverback U.S. Ape went rogue to become the herald of a Norse god known only as The Valkyrie. Leading the forces of The Nature Pantheon into combat during The God War, U.S. Ape is a tactical genius capable of holding his own against any metahuman. To the supervillains captured under his command, he’s an unpleasant and overbearing fascist leader with a strong desire to impose military order upon the superhero community.
