Fahnbullah Eddy, also known as Gorilla Girl, is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Gorilla Girl first appeared in Marvel Team-Up #91 (March 1980), and was created by Steven Grant and Pat Broderick.
Fahnbullah Eddy, originally known as Gorilla Woman, worked at a carnival as a member of the Freaks, a group of circus freaks that included Muck Monster and Six. When the Freaks fell under the control of the sorcerer Moondark, he forced them to battle Spider-Man. Gorilla Girl and the Freaks were later seen in a fight against the criminals Hammer and Anvil.
After the events of the Civil War, Gorilla Girl was captured by the Thunderbolts. During her capture, she threw Penance down three flights of stairs, after which Penance beat her severely. She later registered with the Initiative and joined Camp Hammond along with Annex, Prodigy, and others.
During the Skrull invasion she is one of the Initiative members to go into battle in Times Square. She loses teammate Proton; he is executed by the Skrulls. They join the 'Young Avengers' and are saved by the 'Secret Commandos'. Afterwards, Gorilla Girl asked to be put in the Initiative reserves. However, before she gets very far, the Thor clone attacks Camp Hammond, and Gorilla Girl fights him before Counter Force intervenes.
