An alien from the planet Sh'Str. While the Sh'strians were searching for a suitable world they found the planet Earth. Once they arrived on Earth they discovered that the earthlings were giants compared to their race which were the same size as the Kandorians prior to the enlarging of their city. The Sh'strians made their way to the Fortress of Solitude and occupied a recently created model of the Bottle City of Kandor. Along with P'yll they were enlarged by Superman's Micro-Wave Tunnel device. G'ras was given the identity Grace Smith a fashion consultant for the Daily Planet. G'ras while briefly living among the humans enjoyed cheeseburgers. As the day went on G'ras and P'yll transformed into an ancient beast from Sh'str. A battle with Superman ensued with the Man of Steel capturing the two beasts and returning them to the Fortress of Solitude. While figuring out what to do with the beasts, P'yll sneezed and it was the clue that Superman was looking for. Superman grabbed White Kryptonite and immediately both G'ras and P'yll returned back to normal. The cause of the transformation into a beast was caused by Earth's bacteria.
