Powers and Abilities
Thanks to artificial cellular enhancement, Gargantua possesses the ability to draw upon mass from another dimension in order to grow in stature and strength. Since his first appearance, he remains stuck at a minimum height of approximately 20–25 feet, giving him superhuman strength and durability. He possesses severely limited intelligence as a side effect of his physical transformation, leaving his IQ below normal.
Edward Cobert was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy graduate, and earned a PhD. in biochemistry before his transformation.
