Just look at that badass motherfucker. Like hell one of you could take this gorilla, even while he’s busy chowing down on a carrot. Naturally, redditors were out to prove just how much of a gangster this carrot-chomping silverback is.

The ape even ended up in the superhero universe, assuming the roles of Hell Boy and newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson. And don’t doubt this gorilla’s leading man status for a second. Looks like r/PsBattle just put in their pick for the next James Bond.

If this isn’t a pitch-perfect way to raise awareness of the plight of the silverback gorilla and honor Harambe, I don’t know what is.
