Biography
Pre-Crisis
Toto was a male common chimpanzee selected to participate in an experimental space rocket mission scheduled to span an entire week. Whilst in space, a Green Kryptonite meteor collided with a passing Uranium meteor and the radiation from the combined elements washed across the space capsule, altering Toto's genetic structure. The space capsule returned to Earth, and Toto was seemingly unaffected by the radiation. Moments after exiting the capsule, however, his size and strength grew to epic proportions. Lois Lane was present at the scene covering the story of the space capsule landing with Toto recognizing her. As an act of affection, Toto scooped Lois into his paw and took off with her. It was at this point that Lois gave him the name of Titano. Titano began stalking through the streets of Metropolis with Lois in hand, inadvertently causing a considerable amount of property damage. Clark Kent, fearing for Lois' safety, changed to Superman and engaged Titano in combat. Much to the Man of Steel's lament, he learned that the radiation had given Titano another super-power - Green Kryptonite vision. Unable to withstand the effects of the Kryptonite, Superman had to back down. Lois came up with an ambitious plan to halt Titano's childlike rampage. Recalling the chimp's tendency to imitate the actions of humans, she manipulated Titano into donning a pair of over-sized lead-lined eyeglasses. Now Superman could deal with him without fearing the effects of Titano's Kryptonite vision. Superman hurled Titano into the timestream where he arrived in Earth's prehistoric past. (Superman v1 #127)
