The Grip is the single most pathetically mundane group of villains located on this website. Their first (and only) appearance was as mercenaries in the employ of the South American crime figure Senor Muerte ("Mister Death"). He used the Grip to dominate the villages in his domain. The Grip very briefly combated Freedom Force when the latter was sent to rescue an American senator from Senor Muerte's grasp. The Blob pretty much defeated the Grip by himself, with a little help from Pyro.

The Blob perfectly encapsulated the Grip when he observed "Where did you guys get your armor, Radio Shack?"
