Beppo

  of Beppo the Super-Monkey.]]'''Beppo (the Super-Monkey)'''. A playful Kryptonian laboratory monkey which survived the explosion of the planet [[Krypton]]—as the result of having been launched into outer space in an experimental space capsule—and ultimately landed on Earth, where, like any native of Krypton, it acquired super-powers like [[Superman]]'s and became known as Beppo the Super-Monkey. Beppo wears a colorful red and blue costume modeled after Superman's and is a member of the [[Legion of Super-Pets]]. When [[Metropolis]] television station WMET-TV inaugurates its new "Our American Heroes" series with a program honoring Superman, "our greatest American hero," Beppo appears on the show along with three of the other super-pets— [[Krypto|Krypto the Superdog]], [[Comet|Comet the Super-Horse]], and [[Streaky|Streaky the Super-Cat]]—to help pay tribute to the Man of Steel (Act No. 309, Feb 1964: "The Superman Super-Spectacular!"). In April 1965 Beppo journeys through the time barrier to the mid-nineteenth century to help Superman and the other super-pets teach a well-deserved lesson to "cruel junkman" Cyrus Atwill (S No. 176/1: "The Revenge of the Super-Pets!").
