History

Mobster George “Boss” Dyke is executed in the gas chamber, but has his brain transplanted into the body of a gorilla. The Gorilla Boss of Gotham fights Batman twice. Later, the alien villain Sinestro steals the Boss' cerebellum, expands it to planet-size, and used it as a power source. This unnatural abomination is destroyed by Superman. Somehow, the Boss' brain is returned to his gorilla body and gets used as a pawn by Gorilla Grodd.
