Inspired by the 1995 Steven Spielberg animated television series “Pinky and the Brain” and the 2011 Oscar-nominated Sci-Fi action thriller “Rise of the Planet of Apes,” BAS is a collection of 4,444 genetically enhanced laboratory apes. The apes have undergone significant genetic alteration. Their genes have been spliced, giving them amplified intelligence and enormous brains compared to typical apes. The Brainy Apes are self-centered, scheming, and bestowed with superior cognitive ability and anthropomorphism.
