HISTORY

Ebola Gulf A virus is also known as the Clench due to the way in which it forces its victims' bodies into a clenched position. A truly terrifying disease, it was unleashed on Gotham City twice, shortly before the city's devastating earthquake. Many citizens perished before a cure could be found, including the city's current mayor Armand Krol.
