Gorr was a humanoid bull-man and one of the many genetically evolved experiments conducted by Project Moreau in the 1940s.
History
He resided on an uncharted island called the Wild Lands and was one of the three royal bodyguards that comprised the Wild Men.
Of the three, Gorr was the most pessimistic. He did not share the passive intellect of his colleague Growler, nor did he appreciate the high-spirited antics of the archer Howler. Gorr also did not believe the rumors that circulated alledging that a human society existed prior to the creation of the Wild Lands. Although Gorr later learned the truth about his heritage, it did little to change his taciturn demeanor.
The Wild Men befriended Superboy when he mysteriously appeared on the island and helped him to liberate several human slaves from the trader known as Sacker. Afterward, they accompanied Superboy back to his home in Hawaii and assisted him in repelling an invasion of Pearl Harbor perpetuated by the bat-woman Nosferata and Killa the gorilla. Although Pearl Harbor was saved, Nosferata manipulated her way into becoming the new queen of the Wild Lands. As such, she forced the Wild Men into exile, and they were never allowed to return to the land of their birth.
Gorr and the others then embarked upon a quest to locate Superboy's lost love, Tana Moon.
