A
comic book character created by
Erik Larsen. He first appeared in
Savage Dragon #23. Brainiape is the mutated
brain of
Adolf Hitler, stuck inside a glass
globe, and mounted into the body of a big,
stinky gorilla. No, I'm
serious.
The
ape is
stronger than normal, and the brain is capable of
independent movement. In the past, when deprived of the gorilla's
body, it has run around on four legs and even held and shot a
raygun. It can also
see,
hear, and
speak on its own. It also has a number of
psychic abilities, including
telekinesis,
telepathy, and
pyrokinesis.
Brainiape is primarily a
joke-
villain; he keeps trying to take over
Chicago's
criminal Vicious Circle organization, but
everyone hates him because he's a
Nazi bastard, he
stinks, and he attracts
flies. He often tangles with
the Dragon, and he nearly always gets
humiliated.
