Titano the Super-Ape is a mutated chimpanzee who was an enemy of Superman.
History
Titano was a chimpanzee who was subjected to experiments by Dr. Thomas Moyers to create a super-weapon. The process goes awry and Titano increases in strength and size and goes on a rampage throughout Metropolis. Superman subdues Titano with an electrical cable from a suspension bridge and is calmed down by Lois, the only person who has treated him with kindness.
Dr. Moyers fires a fission ray cannon at Titano which reverses the process. Titano initially thinks Lois has betrayed him until she punches Dr. Moyers for a snide comment. Titano is comforted by Lois as he dies due to the ray used to reverse the process.
