Gorilla-Man is the name of three fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. Ken Hale first appeared in Men's Adventures #26 (March 1954), while Arthur Nagan first appeared in Mystery Tales #21 (September 1954), and Franz Radzik first appeared in Tales to Astonish #28 (February 1962).

Kenneth Hale was a happy-go-lucky soldier of fortune. He was always risking his life for thrills, but he was actually afraid of dying. He heard of a local tribal legend from Africa that stated "If you kill the magical Gorilla-Man, you become immortal." Ken travelled to Africa to find the Gorilla-Man. Ken gave up on the idea at the last minute, but the ape forced him to shoot. Ken Hale then became immortal, but at the cost of becoming the new Gorilla-Man. After operating his own team for a while, Ken Hale then "retired", and lived in a large treehouse near the Congo. He served as a guide for the original X-Men, and proved himself to be a formidable guide. He was given a special yearbook, and was acknowledged as an ally, or "X-Ape". After helping them on their mission, Ken presumably went on to live in the treehouse a while longer. He did use his powers when working with the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Howling Commandos unit, and the Agents of Atlas.

During the Secret Invasion, Gorilla-Man and Human Robot rescue Namora from the Skrull.

As Gorilla-Man, Hale possesses the body, and therefore the strength, agility, and endurance of a mountain gorilla, while still retaining his normal human intelligence. He is an expert in weapons usage with a preference for firearms, and was a skilled hand-to-hand fighter even as a human being. Gorilla-Man also has been cursed with immortality, thus he does not age and has retained the same level of strength and physical prowess over decades.

Gorilla-Man has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
