Lifted and threw Ramarak several dozen meters against a boulder and defeated him) | At least **City Block level** (Confirmed to be the strongest Titan of Skull Island during 1995, which would put him above the biggest specimens of Sirenjaw.) | **Large Island level** (Comparable to Godzilla. One of GvK's writers praised Kong's strength during his first battle with Godzilla and said that Kong certainly presented a threat to his rule as King of the Monsters. Kong was exhausted when fighting Mechagodzilla), higher with Battle Axe (Quickly defeated Mechagodzilla while charged-up. Could easily pierce through Godzilla's thick hide)

Stamina: Extremely high

Range: Tens of meters by sheer size, higher by throwing his axe

Standard Equipment: Battle Axe

Intelligence:  **Average.** (Kong should have a similar level of intelligence as his family, who built the entire temple room seen in *Godzilla vs Kong* and were comparable to humans intelligence-wise. Kong seems to show a great deal of loneliness as the last of his kind. One of the comics depicts him crying over the remains of his deceased parents, who were killed by Skullcrawlers. Kong has demonstrated a degree of altruism by rescuing a Sker Buffalo that was pinned underneath a downed helicopter, and later rescued Mason Weaver during his battle with Ramarak. He can differentiate his allies from his enemies, takes advantage of his surroundings while fighting, and is able to use tools like a rock as weapons like many primates do. In Skull Island: The Birth of Kong, Kong is stated to have an instinct to protect humans, he only kills those humans who did something to warrant it, such as by attacking him, the island and/or endangering the lives of others like Walter R. Riccio did to the Iwi and his own partners. Able to elaborate strategies to outsmart Godzilla. After Godzilla dislocated his arm, Kong used a building and smacked his arm against it, setting it back in place).

**Weaknesses:** **:** As an adolescent, Kong is vulnerable to being burned, as he is badly weakened after being caught in a burning lake filled with napalm. His skin can also be pierced by the spinning propeller blades of the helicopters he attacks, leaving gash wounds that he visibly finds painful. Kong is badly burned when hit by a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath, creating a burn mark though it quickly fizzled out and didn't seem to affect the ape Titan shortly afterward. His emotions can also get the best of him
