King Solovar was the sovereign of the hidden Gorilla City in the central jungles of the Africa on Earth-One. A benevolent leader, he had his patience on occasion tried by the renegade simian known as Grodd. Both possessed powerful force of mind, making the unmatched amongst their telepathic fellow apes, and particularly dangerous towards humanity. However, unlike Grodd, Solovar kept to his more passivist ways... until his arch enemy treatened his citizens once more.
Among those few humans whom Solovar had encountered, the one whom he called friend was Barry Allen, aka the Flash. Together, these two brought about Grodd's defeat time and time again. On one occasion, Solovar also stood next to Superman when the king's city had been revealed to the world and sought acknowledgement of their right to exist alongside them.
Although later clouding memory of their existence from humanity, Solovar revealed himself once more during the Crisis on Infinite Earths when trying to save both his world and all of the Multiverse.

His counterpart on Earth-Two was a formerly non-descript simian named Willie who had been mentally placed under th thrall of the formerly human genius known as the Ultra-Humanite. MutatIng a white ape to be his new host body, with his mind merged with that of the host creatures, this Ultra--Ape reportedly sought the defeat of his mortal foe. On his first attempt in this new body, Ultra recruited Willie whom he also imparted a portion of his malevolent influence to, which led towards his rallying fellow simians in Metropolis Zoo versus Power Girl and the Huntress, who had themselves had their minds transferred by Ultra's machinations into Superman and Batman's bodies... and visa versa.
When this scheme failed, Ultra had their memories erased and soon after encountered Superman once more. Eventually, Ultra was exiled into interdimensional limbo, leaving Willie and his apes behind on terra firma.
