Characters | Superman; Lois Lane; Titano [Toto] |
Synopsis | Lois befriends the intelligent chimp Toto just before he is sent into orbit inside a satellite. While in orbit, the satellite passes by a collision of a uranium metorite and a kryptonite meteorite, which causes the chimp to grow to enormous size and shoot kryptonite beams from his eyes. Because of his transformation, Lois re-names him Titano. Though not meaning any harm, Titano poses a threat to humanity, and Superman, Lois and the army trap the giant chimp, planning to execute him. But Lois devises a plan to block Titano's kryptonite vision so Superman can send him into the distant past where he can't harm anyone. |
