Gel-Shocker is the name of an evil organization that was formed through the alliance between Shocker and Geldam, a mysterious organization from America. After Shocker's uncountable failures to defeat the Kamen Riders, Shocker's leader decided that the organization needed to be completely restructured. Without even the knowledge of high ranking Shocker members, he met the leader of another secret organization called Geldam, General Black, and started working with him to create a new organization, called Gel-Shocker. After Ambassador Hell's final defeat and death, the Great Leader went forward with his plans.
The new organization was led mostly by Geldam members, aside from himself, and old members of Shocker who were considered unfit for it were killed one by one. All Shocker secret bases were destroyed and the remaining Shocker Combatmen and scientists were killed. Part of that operation to erase the original Shocker was witnessed by some unfortunate campers when a Shocker Combatman came from the bottom of the river the campers were near, screaming for help and requesting them to take him to Kamen Rider.
But Ganikomol appeared from the river and killed him, telling him Shocker no longer needed him. The campers then witnessed a massacre of Shocker soldiers who tried to escape in the forest. Although the new organization carried the Shocker name, its grunt force, human alteration technology and leadership were mostly provided by Geldam members. Only the Great Leader himself and the Shocker Riders show strong ties with Shocker's previous activities.
