The Brass Monkey is an Astro City crime boss who, as his name implies, is literally a brass monkey. Formerly a janitor at Fox-Broome University, he used an experimental device there to transfer his mind into a brass monkey statue. He planned to use this metal body to commit crimes, but when his real body was killed, he found himself stuck in that form.
