Bobo, a chimpanzee originally from Africa, was the subject of an experiment by two microscopic aliens who wanted to increase the brain power of Earth's lower life forms. It was a success and Bobo was gifted with greater intelligence and the ability to speak. He ended up in the United States of America and became a famous crime solver known as Detective Chimp. He tried out for the Teen Titans but was immediately given the boot after saying his name. He participated in the Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Second Greatest Team Edition competition. Chimp partnered with Krypto and Animal Man in the Super Hero Summer Camp canoe race. After being initially capsized by the Teen Titans' pirate ship, their canoe was blown up by cannon fire. Detective Chimp attended the Doom Patrol's clambake in Codsville one summer and The Superhero Award Show. He was up for Best Superhero With The Best Animal-Based Powers but lost to Vixen.

Detective Chimp and Swamp Thing teamed up and formed a crew for Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Dance Crew Edition. After Robin got the coveted platinum buzzer, he rubbed it in everyone's faces and even reduced Chimp to tears. Chimp and Swamp Thing could not advance to the finals and were eliminated after their routine inspired by the movie "My Dinner with Andre." Backstage, they were one of the crews than quickly ran away after hearing Robin's offer to form a new crew with him. Detective Chimp accepted a free invitation to a Space House and was unknowingly collected by Brainiac until the Skull Ship was destroyed. Detective Chimp officiated Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary party at DC Headquarters. Wonder Woman and Detective Chimp greeted the Titans upon their arrival. Cyborg congratulated her. Robin, thinking she was as frail as a standard 80 year old woman, told him to speak up. Cyborg repeated himself but loud enough to knock her off her feet.

Chimp scolded them then took the stage to announce they were making a special 80th anniversary issue of Wonder Woman and unveiling the new Wonder Woman Conference Room. She did the honors and cut the ceremonial ribbon with a big pair of gold scissors. Chimp then cued Vibe to get the part started and he began his deejay duties. While everyone else started dancing, the Titans asked Chimp if they could get something named after them. Beast Boy was keen on the commissary. Starfire suggested an executive office. Chimp broke it to them they only reserved such things for special occassions. Raven pointed out the New Teen Titans anniversary was last year and they got nothing. He countered not every hero receives a namesake. The Titans quickly gave four examples: the Superman Writer's Room, Batman Art Department, Aquaman Water Cooler, and Swamp Thing Office Plant. Chimp clarified only the A-list heroes got something named after them. The Titans discovered they were on the D-list. Raven thought there had to be something they could do to prove they should be on the A-list.

Robin suggested putting them in charge of the special Wonder Woman comic book. Chimp insisted he already assigned it to their top creatives: Batman, Superman, and Flash. Incidentally, at the same moment, Superman was lying on the dance floor chugging the Aquaman Water Cooler. Cyborg asked to unassign them. Chimp threw a banana at his face. Chimp stressed he had to ensure the issue becomes a huge success so they don't get crushed by The Competition. He implored them to enjoy the rest of the party. The Titans presented their comic to Wonder Woman, Black Lightning, Swamp Thing, Aquaman, Power Girl, Shazam, and Martian Manhunter in the Wonder Woman Conference Room. Detective Chimp ran in in a panic asking where Batman, Superman, or Flash was. Cyborg gave him their comic and sat him down. Chimp threw a banana at the screen and declared it was the worst comic ever. He believed The Competition was going to crush them.

The Competition's building suddenly reached into DC Headquarters and grabbed everyone but Chimp and the Titans then threw them inside through a recess in the roof. The Titans powered up the building and fought back. With Wonder Woman, they were able to defeat The Competition. Chimp thanked them. Wonder Woman nodded in agreement. Chimp promoted them to the A-list in recognition of their heroics. They moved up between Superman and Batman. Chimp revealed they got a namesake, too: the Titans Toilet. They were overjoyed and danced. Detective Chimp was a spectator at the Codsville Thanksgiving Parade. He was trapped in canned cranberry sauce with Zatanna and Blue Beetle but three dogs from the Doom Patrol's float helped liberate them. Detective Chimp and Swamp Thing were camping at the Codsville National Forest Camping Ground when the Doom Patrol van suddenly drove over their campfire.
