History:
(Planet of the Apes#23 (fb) - BTS) - Scrapper was apparently the leader of a group of ape-men (either warrior members of the Ape race or humans mutated into ape form) working out of the area outside of General Raker's base in the former Grand Central Station in what was once Manhattan, New York.

(Planet of the Apes#23 (fb) - BTS) - Apeslayer and his Freemen caused Scrapper and his forces a significant amount of grief.

(Planet of the Apes#23) - After fighting his way past the warriors apparently serving under Scrapper, Apeslayer warned Scrapper to let him past or he would finish him, too.

     Parrying Apeslayer's sword with his own blade, Scrapper instead told Apeslayer that he was a good talker and then warned Apeslayer that he would die for the grief he and his Freemen had caused Scrapper and his associates.

     Insisting he must personally deliver his message to his Generals, Apeslayer knocked Scrapper off of a raised walkway and landed atop him, incapacitating if not killing him.

(Planet of the Apes#23 - BTS) - Apeslayer continued on to the former Grand Central Station, where he confronted and slew Raker.

    Does this seem familiar? It should.
    See the comments of the Apeslayer profile:

    The Ape race was led by the Ape Masters, who were also referred to as Generals, Simians and Simian Masters.
    Humans serving the Ape Masters but leading other groups were also referred to as Generals.
    Humans mutated into ape-form and serving the Ape race were also referred to as Apes.

    I thought it was hinted somewhere that Scrapper may have been a human mutated into ape-form, but I did not see that anywhere when I re-reviewed the story.
    He led a group of ape-men in defending the area outside of the human General Raker's base, and it seemed as if Raker was his superior.
    Regardless Scrapper may or may not been a member of the Ape race (not a Master) serving as a soldier, or he may have been a human mutated into ape-form.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Scrapper is the alternate reality counterpart of:

• SCRAPPER of Earth-691 - alternate reality component of where he was a human serving the Martian Masters, rather than an Ape or a mutate--Amazing Adventures II#18
  
  but has no known connection to and should be distinguished from:
  
  
• SCRAPPER of Earth-811- nickname of Franklin Richards--Uncanny X-Men Annual#14
• SCRAP IRON of Earth-148611 (John Rost) - Clinic--DP7#13
• other "Scrapper" characters, groups, items, events, races or places...
