Giganta (DC Animated Universe)

Giganta is a supporting antagonist in the DC Animated Universe. She is Gorilla Grodd's right-hand woman and a founding member of the Secret Society of Supervillains.

She was voiced by Jennifer Hale, who also voiced Killer Frost in the same universe.

History[]

According to a story Grodd told Clayface, Grodd transformed Giganta from an ape into a human woman with the power to increase her size to tremendous heights, with a proportionate increase in her strength and durability. For this, she was hopelessly devoted to Grodd, and the member of the Secret Society most loyal to him.

After the Society was defeated by the Justice League, she attempted to free Grodd from prison with the help of Bizarro, but their efforts were thwarted by Wonder Woman and Long Shadow. She later resurfaced as a member of Grodd's Legion of Doom. She accompanied a Legion team to Norway assigned to steal the corpse of the Viking Prince. However, the Justice League intervened. In an effort to expedite the battle, J'onn J'onzz attempted to read Giganta's mind and learn their plan, but the fail-safe implanted in all Legion members' minds was activated and Giganta was instantly incapacitated. In her absence, her position as Grodd's girlfriend was usurped by Tala.

She later recovered from her condition and got out of jail. Going to rejoin the Legion, she learned of Grodd's new relationship. This may have been a reason she supported Lex Luthor during the mutiny led by Grodd against his leadership. Surviving the mutiny, and Darkseid's destruction of the Legion's headquarters, she accompanied the surviving members to Earth, where she was one of the loudest voices demanding that the Legion be allowed to help defend it from Darkseid's invasion.

During the battle, she fought Darkseid's parademons alongside The Flash and Green Lantern in Paris. After the battle, she and the other Legion members were given a five-minute head start to run before being rounded up and returned to jail. Giganta gave up a few precious seconds to plant a goodbye kiss on the Flash (hinting that she harbored a secret crush on him). It is unknown what happened to her after that.

Powers and abilities[]

Normally standing somewhere over six feet tall, Giganta could greatly increase her size, becoming gigantic, and proportionately strong and durable. In her enlarged state, her strength was far superior to Wonder Woman's and her body weight is enough to crush people, cars, buildings and such under her extreme heaviness. Also, being gigantic makes her sound and ground vibrations much louder and deeper. Such as clapping her massive hands is loud enough to cause small shock waves. She is extremely durable, being completely bulletproof and withstanding punches from superheroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman.
