Beppo the Super-Monkey
Beppo is a Kryptonian monkey who secretly stowed away aboard the rocket that carried the infant Kal-El to Earth, gaining the same solar-powered abilities as Superman under Earth's yellow sun and eventually joining the Legion of Super-Pets.
Few comics concepts capture the gleeful, anything-goes spirit of the Silver Age quite like Beppo the Super-Monkey, who swung onto the scene in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #40 in 1959, dreamed up by the legendary Otto Binder and Curt Swan. This delightfully absurd DC creation shares his adventures with some of the heaviest hitters in the pantheon β Clark Kent, Superman, Supergirl, and Green Lantern among them β which tells you everything about the rarefied cosmic company this little primate keeps. Popping up across Action Comics, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, and even Animal Man over a remarkable six-decade span, Beppo is living proof that the wildest, most wonderfully inventive corners of comics history have a staying power all their own.
