Gorgon was later "resurrected" as a robot along with the dead Extremists by Dreamslayer, and attempted to take over Earth until being stopped by Justice League Europe with the help of Mitch Wacky, the creator of the robots. The Extremists robots were then exhibited in Madame Clouseau's Wax Museum in Paris.
Gorgon (Dr. Mortimer)
- Main Article: Earth-8
A scientist researching mutation at the Experiment House in New York, Dr. Mortimer lived for his research and his beautiful wife Susan. His main subject was a mutation which would cause an organism, when threatened, to develop a fearsome secondary form, along with a new personality to make it attack. His world was secure until the arrival of Dr. Leonard Grant, alias the hero known as Wandjina. As his wife began spending more and more time with Grant, Mortimer slipped into depression and feelings of inadequacy. Finally, when in a telephone message his wife referred to Grant as "Lenny", Mortimer blacked out for an extended period, only to come home and discover his wife dead. Blaming Grant, he took on a fearsome red form with four strong tentacles. He would become the Gorgon and attacked Experiment House, but he was met by Lord Havok, who told him that he was incorrect. Grant was a homosexual, interested in Susan only as a friend, and Susan had been killed by Mortimer himself, under the influence of his deadlier, monstrous persona.

While he was terrorizing the citizens of Kravia, he was attacked by Black Canary, who he battled in an abandoned building.
