Silly Simian
 Marvel Apes (Comic Book) / int_2decf5dd
comment
Silly Simian: The comic sets up this trope pretty expertly, being an alternate universe where everyone is a monkey except the Inhumans and Sue Storm. At first, the world seems goofy and friendly... but Martin quickly discovers that a world ruled by apes is also ruled by the Law of the Jungle, and you do not want to get on the wrong side of these apes. Spider-Monkey plays the trope straightest, but as an alternate Spider-Man being silly is kind of par for the course. In the Spider-Monkey special he also proves to be more of a Nice Guy than most of the other apes.

Affably Evil: From a human perspective, certainly from Martin's, the ape heroes come across as this. They're ruthless, violent and murderous, but unless you're a villain who refuses to reform, or have earned their ire in some other way, they're fairly polite and accepting, even friendly.

comment
Deconstruction: The Marvel Apes storyline deconstructs the Funny Animal. A reality ruled by non-human primates would most likely be far more violent than ours, since most primates don't have human-level empathy. Even heroes like Captain America sees nothing wrong with beating villains to death since that's just how apes are.

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: There is also a Marvel Apes universe, where everyone is an ape. Some of the ape superheroes are also vampires, and one of them is an ape Nazi vampire. In Marvel Zombies: Evil Evolution there is Marvel Apes vs Marvel Zombies, during which Iron Mandrill gets infected with the zombie virus, becoming a super-intelligent zombie ape in a suit of powered armour.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The apes, though sapient and capable of developing civilization and advanced technology, are still apes and deal with antisocial behavior like criminals and supervillains with extreme prejudice. Anyone breaking the law is forced to either comply or be beaten to death.
