Powers/Abilities: Rorgg has six appendages, and possesses superhuman strength (class 50?) and size. He can generate webbing from his mouth that forms spider webs which travel at the speed of light; he can climb these webs to reach other worlds (apparently being immune to the effects of space), and the webs are stronger than steel. He can also release his webs in gobs of electrical energy.
History: (Journey Into Mystery I#64/1) - Rorgg led his Spider Men to Earth with the intent of conquering it, demonstrated to the inhabitants of a town in New Mexico how they could not break their webs, and that his people were superior. However, a teenager named Tim Johnson attacked Rorgg with a spray of DDT, and Rorgg was apparently killed by it. The other Spider Men abandoned Earth after seeing their leader fall.
(Fantastic Four Unlimited#7) - Rorgg's body was obtained by artist Frank Johnson, who placed it on display with other monsters, including the Two-Headed Thing, Grottu, and a Blip. However, Rorgg was revived by the Aztec Yucoya-Tzin, and the monsters were sent to battle the Fantastic Four while Yucoya-Tzin abducted Frank Johnson. Rorgg attacked the Invisible Woman and nearly swallowed her, but she escaped his mouth by placing her force field around herself in a ball, popping out when he clamped down. Ant-Man, the Thing, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch then joined their powers against Rorgg, until he was overcome and collapsed.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers.
