Who is Titano?

Storyline When Lois Lane went to a charity show, she watched as a slapstick comic hit Toto the chimp in the face with a pie. Wiping his face clean, Lois won the chimp's instant friendship. Later, Lois discovered that Toto was to be sent into space via a rocket that very week, and she covered the story for a TV network. While in his space satellite, Toto was bombarded with radiation after a collision between two meteors - one made of uranium, and the other containing kryptonite . Upon his return to Earth, Toto appeared unaffected by his experience, but moments after he left his capsule, he began to grow to a tremendous size. Recognizing a friendly face in Lois, he picked her up. Thinking Lois was in danger, Superman flew to the rescue, only to be floored by Toto's new power - kryptonite vision. Though not malicious, Titano - as Lois renamed him - was strong and clumsy enough to cause a great deal of damage and to potentially cause much harm.
