Superman # 127 (Source Popdaddyvintage.com)

6. Titano, or Superman punches an ape right in the face

People have a hard time coming up with villains to fight Superman. All of his enemies have to be the smartest person ever or the strongest thing in the entire galaxy to even pose a threat. Also, most of them have something to do with kryptonite. So every once in a while, a weird-as-hell villain is generated. This was the case with Titano, the giant ape-monster who shoots kryptonite lasers from his eyes.

Now, Titano is not an evil, super-intelligent ape like Grodd, nor is he an ape with an evil man’s brain like the Ultra-Humanite. No, he’s just a normal ape, who in his debut was actually dubbed one of the world’s most intelligent apes, driven mad by space radiation. And Superman decides on multiple occasions that the best way to deal with this giant, space-mad creature is just to punch it right in the face. I mean, I know Superman can be a jerk sometimes, but geez.
