Grotesk is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography

Prince Gor-Tok, also known as Grotesk, is the former prince of a warlike, civilized race of Gortokian Subterraneans with human intelligence and virtually human appearance. Underground atomic explosions created by surface humans led to the extinction of the entire race except for Grotesk, who, his mind and body first distorted by radiation, vows to destroy the entire surface world.

Grotesk encounters the heroic mutants the X-Men on his first foray to the surface world. He fights them, and kills the Changeling (who, at the time was posing as Professor X to the X-Men).

Grotesk later encounters Ms. Marvel. He also sides with the Mole Man and Tyrannus in their war against the surface world and the Avengers.
