Monkey Grodd

When you're this good it's probably more than luck, despite the macaque's name. 

So I find myself wondering about the famous simian villains that may have served as inspiration to our prison-break primate.  Of course we have the famous Flash villain Gorilla Grodd.  Grodd uses mind control, and may explain why Lucky was able to get past his prison guard so easily.  The cleaner just happened to "allow" him to escape while cleaning his cage?  Hmmmm?  

We have Mojo Jojo of the Powerpuff Girls, a genius simian with an enlarged brain.  I'm not sure about him . . . so far Lucky seems to eschew the more elaborate plans involving giant robots and prefers the far simpler approach of simply biting people during his reigns of terror. 

And of course there's Hollywood's favorite giant gorilla monster in King Kong, who caused a lot of destruction but ultimately he was just misunderstood.  He wasn't an evil genius at all and I'm not sure why he's even on this list.  I guess mindless destruction has its good points as well, though, and I wish Lucky all the best.
