Yeah, that's him! I got it wrong because I only remember the first story! -

The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) is a superhero who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Joseph Samachson and artist Joe Certa, the character first appeared in Detective Comics #225 "The Manhunter From Mars" in November 1955.

Does anyone remember "Magnus Robot Fighter"?
Don't remember that one - but you reminded me of a group of four survivors of an atomic war called "The Atomic Knights". They wore medieval-like armor to protect them from the radiation. Probably DC Comics - I don't really remember any others except the Disney characters line.

According to Wikipedia, the super-simians appeared in the Flash comics -

Gorilla City is a fictional city in the DC Comics Universe. The city, hidden in the jungles of Africa, is home to a race of super-intelligent gorillas, that gained their powers from a meteorite...Gorilla City first appears in The Flash vol. 1 #106, (April 1959)...After an alien spacecraft crashes into the jungles of Africa, local gorillas become hyper-intelligent and acquire telepathic abilities. These gorillas form Gorilla City. The city led by Solovar quickly creates technology far surpassing that of humanity and cloaks itself from human society.

I saw a Hubley that looked like my old one except for the serrated hammer, so I must have had the 'fanner' version. The T-lock top break was familiar, but the one on eBay had enfraving/filigree/whatever it's called, and I don't recall that. It did have the cream & black grips. It was cool! I was disappointed that i didn't get the Mattel Fanner 50, but I grew to like the Hubley better.
