Ogre

Ogre is a DC Comics character who appeared in Batman #535, created by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones.
Ogre is a genetically altered man, whose brother is a genetically experimented ape created by Doctor Winston Belmont. The man, Michael Adams, was increased in strength and the Ape in intelligence. The project created by Belmont was Project Mirakle, a top secret government project at Atsugi, where there were tested spy planes, as well as experiments on humans in the late 1950s. These experiments were made to create the perfect human agent but when funding was excavated so were the subjects. Michael Adams, as 23rd human experiment, managed to escape after 22 previous deaths. The Ogre tracked and murdered the scientists who collaborated with the project, only to be tracked by Batman himself. In the end, the Ape died and the Ogre wandered the city alone in a story analogous to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
