==Summary==
King Kong is a giant movie monster, resembling a giant ape, that has appeared in various media since 1933. The character first appeared in the 1933 film King Kong from RKO Pictures, which received universal acclaim upon its initial release and re-releases. A sequel quickly followed that same year with Son of Kong, featuring a Little Kong. In the 1960s, Toho produced King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), pitting a much larger Kong against Toho's own Godzilla, and King Kong Escapes (1967), based on The King Kong Show (1966–1969) from Rankin/Bass Productions. In 1976, Dino De Laurentiis produced a modern remake of the original film directed by John Guillermin. A sequel, King Kong Lives, followed a decade later featuring a Lady Kong. Another remake of the original, this time set in 1933, was released in 2005 from filmmaker Peter Jackson.
The most recent film, Kong: Skull Island (2017), set in 1973, is part of Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse, which began with Legendary's reboot of Godzilla in 2014. A crossover sequel, Godzilla vs. Kong, once again pitting the characters against one another, is currently planned for 2020.
The character of King Kong has become one of the world's most famous movie icons, having inspired countless sequels, remakes, spin-offs, imitators, parodies, cartoons, books, comics, video games, theme park rides, and a stage play. His role in the different narratives varies, ranging from a rampaging monster to a tragic antihero.
Note: This Verse has relationship with Legendary's and Warner Bros: "MonsterVerse".

==Power of the Verse==
King Kongverse contains a decent amount of feats. Human characters like Jack Driscoll are Athlete level physically and Street level while equipped with weapons. Many of the prehistoric creatures like the Venatosaurus are Street level, while the larger ones like Kong himself are easily Small Building to Small City level, depending on the incarnation.
Technology ranges from not very advanced to decently advanced due to many of the franchise's entries being set on the same era they're from (30s for the original Kong, 70s for 1976 Kong, etc), but in some TV shows (Kong: The Animated Series and Kong: King of the Apes, for instance) technology is more modern and even futuristic. Said shows often include magical artifacts of great power as well.
The power of the verse is boosted with Crossovers where Kong battles Planet level characters like Konger, who is Kong's mechanical counterpart and one of the strongest characters in that universe. Finally, a crossover with Castlevania introduces a Low Multiverse level characters to the franchise.
