* WrestlerOfBeasts: Upon returning to Africa, Tarzan and his friend [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Captain George Washington Williams]] are confronted by the [[KillerGorilla Mangani]] who raised him, none of whom look fondly upon Tarzan because they feel like he abandoned them to go and live in England with Jane. In order to prevent the Mangani from killing Williams, Tarzan challenges their new leader, his ape brother Akut, to one-on-one combat. [[DeconstructedTrope While Tarzan is stronger than the average human, he's spent years living outside the Congo forests, and Akut is stronger and larger than he is]]; [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Akut wipes the floor with him in short measure]]. By the time Akut finally leaves, Tarzan is severely injured and requires an AfterActionPatchUp.
