Furious George II

George was a born in a nature reserve, and odd gorilla that was rejected from the other gorillas for some reason. Being at risk of the other gorillas attacking him, the preserve had to figure something out. They gave him away to some scientists nearby that promised to give him some beneficial unspecified treatments. The zookeepers didn't really know if they trusted that, but they needed to get him away for his safety, so they did.

The scientists were experimenting with a knew way of communicating with animals, and with monkeys being the closest relatives. They figured they'd be the best chance for success, even better than sign language. He was given a helmet that connected his mind to one of the researchers. A local born man named Abraham, the more they communicated the more George's brain mimicked the researchers, increasing his capacity for speech. Also having the effect of making them extremely close friends.

But that had another effect as well, with problems arising in the Abraham's personal life, the anger that he hid from his colleagues would begin to show with George. The scientists tried to swap the researchers, but George's brain had already become to similar to Abraham's and he wouldn't connect with anyone else. George himself was getting frustrated, having been taught sign language, they explained what they were trying to do, and he wanted it to work himself. In order for Abraham to calm him down, he told him the story of a local hero who George was named after. The hero had a lot of anger himself, but he learned to put it to the side only when he needed it. It's why Abraham always seemed so calm even though he'd be fuming. George tried to calm himself but it proved difficult, Abraham eventually showed him his meditation techniques which helped immensely.

Even though they tried for months, he couldn't fully speak. They needed something to help get George over the edge, so they tried infusing him with a modified version of the Nola Gene. When they gave it to him he gained the full capability of human speech, and super strength, but also the ability to tap into a deep well of furious rage on command. What began as an experiment to reach out to the opposite side of our own evolution, evolved itself the creation of an intelligent being. Abraham even took him to his hometown and showed him around, his interactions amongst people and children greatly benefitting his learning process, mental and emotional well being.

When the scientists debuted George to show the world their progress, they were attacked to destroy their research. A fringe animal rights group who believed humanity would ruin animals by increasing their intelligence, akin to Adam eating the apple of eden. The ensuing fight led to Abraham losing his life in the process, who asked George with his dying breath to hold back his anger, only using it on people who truly deserved it. George promptly ripped off the legs of the attackers after the Abraham died in his arms. Knowing he'd need an outlet for his anger, and with his newfound strength. They diverted his attention to becoming a hero, beating the snot out of villains to keep him calm. They were eventually called back to America, where George does most of his crimefighting, but when he can makes the trek back to Abrahams hometown to honor his friend.
