Titano

Titano was a chimpanzee who was launched into space as part of a scientific experiment. Exposure to radiation transformed him into a giant ape with kryptonite-vision, making him one of Superboy's most unusual and formidable foes.

Few Silver Age creations have lingered in DC's imagination quite like Titano, who lumbered onto the scene in 1960's Tales of the Unexpected #56, brought to life by the creative team of Arnold Drake and Bob Brown. Sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Lois Lane, and Perry White across a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2025, this character has proven far more durable than a mere one-issue curiosity. With appearances spread across Superman, Tales of the Unexpected, and even Titans, Titano has woven themselves into the broader tapestry of DC's mythology over six-plus decades. For collectors who love tracing the strange, wonderful corners of Silver Age storytelling, that debut issue is a genuine piece of history worth hunting down.
