With the help of Rex the Wonder Dog, the two were able to defeat Grodd. With these heightened powers, Grodd was able to gain control of Gorilla City's entire population. However, while Hammond and Grodd tried to wrestle this meteorite away from the Green Lantern, who had joined the Flash in Africa, it exploded, accelerating Grodd's evolution even more so. Grodd found another space-rock, identical to the one that had given him his powers, and contacted Hector Hammond, a human who had also gained similar powers through another space-rock, hoping to use this meteorite as a super-weapon to rule the world. Reading the minds of the crooks, he saw that one of the former members of their gang was a friend of the Flash, and a plan began to form in his mind. Suddenly changing back to his original shape and size, he quickly defeated the gang, making them believe that they are burning in molten lava by using his force of mind power. One of them commented on how their member Iggo had the strength of a gorilla, which reminded Grodd of his true form. He was attacked by a gang known as the Vultures. Grodd had been trapped inside the human body of an overweight street bum. Afterwards, Grodd was easily apprehended. However, the Flash foiled Grodd's plan when he discovered that the neo-magnetic radiation could be counteracted by solar flare radiation, which he duplicated by vibrating his body at super speed to match the frequency. He began running for governor as the Statewide Party candidate, planning on continuing on to president after that. Not satisfied, he had the gorillas build him a plane, which he flew to Central City, where the humans quickly began adoring him, including the Flash. They were married, and Grodd was declared king of Gorilla City. He arrived at the wedding procession, and Boka immediately became infatuated with him. As a result, everyone who saw him instantly liked him. Determined to have her, he designed a machine that caused his body to emanate neo-magnetic radiation. There, he saw and fell in love with Solovar's bride-to-be, Boka. Upon reaching his destination, Dawson's body devolved back into Grodd's original gorilla form. When released, he traveled back to Gorilla City. Grodd's mind took over the body of criminal William Dawson, who was in prison. However, because Grodd was already a pretty outrageous villain (a telepathic gorilla bent on world domination) making him a vampire-gorilla is absolutely ridiculous, a fact that isn't lost on Red Hood or Cassandra after Grodd escapes by turning himself into a bat and flying away.He possessed amazing intelligence and force of mind capabilities, powers allegedly granted him when he was exposed to a space-rock that landed in the African jungles (though another account states that Gorilla City originated on the planet of Calor and was brought to Earth as a result of Grodd's machinations when he already had his powers). As a result, Red Hood and Cassandra Cain's Batgirl are seen facing a vampiric version of Gorilla Grodd, one of the Flash's greatest villains. Now, DC vs Vampires #4 sees Batman and his Bat-Family still fighting the vampire hordes as best they can, free to use lethal force on the Dark Knight's orders seeing as how they're already dead.

While they began with supervillains such as the Legion of Doom, they've also managed to convert Hal Jordan's Green Lantern who began converting his fellow Justice Leaguers. In the wake of her death, the new and mysterious Vampire King has risen to lead a revolution against the entire globe, converting the strong to their cause and preying upon the weak, drinking their blood to satiate their dark thirst. In previous issues of DC vs Vampires from James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg, and Otto Schmidt, it was revealed that Mary Queen of Blood was murdered, the only vampire elder who had been maintaining peace between vampire-kind and humanity.
