History

  Originally a normal baby chimpanzee, Titano was used as a subject for scientific experiments by a doctor Thomas Moyers, who wanted to develop an army of super-powered agents for the U.S. government. An accident caused the ape to gain super-strength and grow to enormous proportions. Attempting to kill Doctor Moyers, whom he saw as his tormentor, Titano was stopped by and engaged in a battle with Superman. Moyers used his equipment to reverse the transformation, thereby killing Titano, who died in the arms of Lois Lane, the only human who had ever shown him love. Lois later wrote the Daily Planet article "Tears for Titano" in honor of the poor chimp.
