King Kong

* Adult
* Adolescent
* Infant

*"That's Kong. He's king around here. He's god to these people."*
―Hank Marlow to James Conrad and Mason Weaver[src]
**King Kong**, also known as **Kong**, is a giant ape Titan born during a battle between his parents and Skullcrawlers on Skull Island. Born to avenge his parents' deaths, Kong dedicated his life to keeping the Skullcrawler population in check and defending other creatures on the island. In 1973, a survey expedition led by Monarch brought more people to the island, unintentionally attracting more Skullcrawlers. Kong destroyed a helicopter escort carrying the expedition members, causing Colonel Preston Packard to develop a hatred for the Titan. Some survivors encountered Kong and learned his true nature as a protector of the island. However, Packard and his men managed to trap Kong, weakening him and awakening the Skull Devil. Kong saved the survivors and killed the beast, keeping their experience a secret.

In 1995, Aaron Brooks, son of Monarch scientist Houston Brooks, planned a covert return mission to the island of Kong, believing Kong could not control the volatile ecosystem. The mission was a disaster as the island's malevolent fauna stranded the team and killed many. Kong rescued them from attacking Death Jackals and Sirenjaws. One member, Walter R. Riccio, blasted open a hole in the wall surrounding the Iwi village, testing if they were worthy of Kong's protection. Kong saved the Iwi from Mother Longlegs, killing Riccio once he realized he was the cause of the attack. Brooks, the last survivor, met Kong face-to-face and understood his intentions to defend the island.

After Kong drove Camazotz back to the Hollow Earth, Kong was trapped in a dome-shaped facility on Skull Island due to the unstable climate. Nathan Lind convinced Kong to join a joint expedition to find a power source to stop Godzilla. Kong and her adoptive mother, Ilene Andrews, accompanied Godzilla to Antarctica. Godzilla attacked the fleet, nearly drowning Kong. Kong was brought to Antarctica and entered the Hollow Earth. He found an ancient axe charged with the same energy that powered the temple. Godzilla drilled a hole into the Hollow Earth, causing the temple to collapse. Kong battled Godzilla in Hong Kong but was defeated. Jia revived Kong, and they helped destroy Mechagodzilla with human assistance. Kong and Godzilla acknowledged each other before Godzilla returned to the ocean, and Kong made his permanent home in the Hollow Earth.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Origins

*"To be added"*
―To be added[src]
Kong was born on April 2, 1932, during the war on Skull Island against the Skullcrawlers. With his parents and the rest of his family dead, Kong assumed the duty of acting as the island's guardian and ensuring the Skullcrawlers remained underground. When Kong's mother went into labor with her son, she and her mate were set upon by a large pack of fully grown Skullcrawlers. Kong's father fought with all of his might to hold off the creatures as his mate gave birth to their son. Kong's mother sealed her newborn son in a cave before the Skullcrawlers overcame his father and got to her as well. The infant Kong watched from inside the cave as his parents were slaughtered by the monsters and died side-by-side. Following the battle, Kong emerged from the cave and kneeled before the bodies of his parents, who died with their hands held together. Kong wept for the parents he never knew and devoted his life to continuing their war. By the time he was an adolescent, Kong had successfully driven the Skullcrawlers underground and kept them from reaching maturity, save for one of the creatures who had killed his parents: the Skull Devil. In doing so, Kong actively took on the mission of protecting the island's peaceful and vulnerable inhabitants, including the Iwi, from the many large and violent predators that threatened them.

In 1973, as lieutenant colonel Preston Packard and his crew drop seismic bomb charges on the land below to map it, enraged, Kong attacks the helicopters, swatting them out of the air and killing many of Packard's men, to which Packard swears vengeance against Kong. Following the conflict, Kong reappears at a lake, heavily wounded from the earlier fight. As he washes his wounds and drinks from the lake, a Mire Squid attacks Kong, but he manages to kill the creature by stomping on its head and proceeds to make a meal of the giant cephalopod.

### Campaign Against Preston

#### Helping a Sker Buffalo

Later, Kong is seen jumping from one mountain to another as he looks over the island. Kong finds a dead Sker Buffalo being eaten by a Skullcrawler near a large underground vent. As he is about to engage the creature, another one ambushes Kong from behind. He kills them by throwing one to the ground, breaking its neck, and stomping the other's head. Sometime later, Weaver tries and fails to save a Sker Buffalo trapped under a downed helicopter outside the Iwi village. Kong appears and rescues the buffalo. He encounters Weaver for the first time and looks at her curiously before leaving her be. Later that night, he is seen sitting atop a mountain, somberly watching the aurora.

#### Ambushed by Preston

*"To be added."*
―To be added.[src]The following night, Kong sees both Weaver and Conrad on the top of a tall ledge through a blanket of fog and approaches them. While frightened at first, Weaver sees no signs of aggression. She touches his face, and he visibly weeps before retreating. Immediately afterwards, Kong is drawn to a distant explosion, which happens to be a napalm trap set by Packard. Kong is lured in and set on fire by Packard. Several of Packard's men get crushed in Kong's ensuing rampage, but the fire renders Kong unconscious, and Packard then prepares to kill Kong with explosive charges. However, Conrad, Weaver, and Marlow intervene, creating a standoff between them and Packard's men. In the midst of the standoff, the largest of the Skullcrawlers, the Skull Devil, emerges from the swamp. Everybody flees except for Packard, who is crushed by the awakened Kong moments before he can set off the charges. Kong attempts to fight the monster, but the Skull Devil manages to overpower him.

#### Avenging His Parents

*"To be added."*
―To be added.[src]As the morning comes, the Skull Devil turns its attention onto the humans and chases them into a marsh. Kong returns and saves them by smashing a giant boulder against the Skull Devil's head, giving the humans the chance to get to safety. The fight continues, with Kong managing to get the upper hand by wielding a tree trunk as a bat at one point. However, the Skull Devil uses his tail to throw Kong into a shipwreck, where he becomes tangled in its chains. As the Skull Devil prepares to deliver the killing blow, the humans distract the giant monster long enough for Kong to free himself.

Using a ship's propeller attached to a chain like a flail, Kong manages to snag and pull the Skull Devil towards him. Kong throws the Skull Devil against the cliff Weaver is standing on, causing her to fall into the water. He fights and seemingly kills the Skull Devil when he slashes the giant reptile's throat with the propeller. However, as Kong rescues Weaver, the Skull Devil springs back to life and attacks. The Skull Devil wraps his tongue around Kong's arm, where Weaver is enclosed, and pulls it down his throat. Kong violently tears out his opponent's tongue, finally killing his enemy for good and avenging the deaths of his parents as well as his species.

Kong gently sets Weaver down. As Conrad reunites with Weaver, Kong looks back at them before wandering off. As the humans depart from the island in the rescue helicopters, Kong beats his chest and loudly roars, proclaiming himself the King of Skull Island.

### Conflict with Godzilla

#### Monitored by Monarch

*"I spent ten years on that island studying him. I know this for sure: Kong bows to no one."*
―Ilene Andrews[src]In 2023, two years after his battle with Camazotz, Kong wakes up and begins his morning routine. After showering underneath a waterfall, he finds a tree and yanks it out of the ground before shearing its leaves and branches off, fashioning it into a spear. Kong is then greeted by the Iwi orphan Jia, who presents him with a doll that she made to resemble him. After checking on Jia, Kong throws the tree into the sky and watches as it shatters the biodome Monarch had built to contain him, prompting him to roar in anger.

Later, Monarch decides to move Kong, deciding that Skull Island is no longer stable enough to sustain him and allow him to survive. Chaining Kong to a massive barge, Kong, Jia, scientist Ilene Andrews, geologist Nathan Lind, and Apex Cybernetics Executive Maia Simmons depart to take Kong to Hollow Earth, where he will be able to thrive. One night, an upset Kong pulls on his chains and shackles. Jia arrives, and the two touch fingers gently, calming the Titan. As Ilene communicates with Jia through sign language, telling her Kong does not understand they are trying to help take him to a new home, Kong shocks everyone and uses the sign for "home," revealing that he is capable of communication with humans.

#### Ambushed by Godzilla

*"To be added."*
―To be added.[src]On their way, they are attacked by Godzilla, who capsizes the carrier they are on, nearly drowning Kong as well as the others inside the carrier. Fortunately, Nathan manages to unlock Kong's shackles, allowing him to fight off Godzilla long enough to swim to the surface and flip the carrier back on its head, saving everyone inside from drowning. Kong then jumps to the next aircraft carrier to keep Godzilla from destroying the ship Jia is on and to challenge Godzilla, who climbs aboard, ready to do battle. Kong strikes Godzilla with a blow to the head; unfortunately, this only staggers him. Godzilla retaliates by knocking him on the back with a swipe of his claws. Godzilla then prepares to fire his atomic breath at Kong, but the fighter jets distract Godzilla long enough for Kong to eventually push Godzilla back into the ocean.

Godzilla, however, fires his atomic breath from beneath the ocean at the carrier. Kong, realizing this, manages to jump off and evade the blast just in time. However, this puts Kong at a disadvantage as Godzilla begins to drown him. Fortunately, before Godzilla can drown him, the military fires depth charges that distract Godzilla enough for Kong to make it to the carrier again and catch his breath. Exhausted from the sedation and from nearly drowning, Kong lays still as Godzilla, convinced that he had won due to the convoy shutting down all of their weaponry. Realizing that Godzilla will return as soon as they move again, the group decides to airlift Kong with helicopters for the rest of the way. Although they successfully land at an outpost in Antarctica that holds the Hollow Earth's entrance, Kong is unwilling to go, even with Jia's insistence. Realizing Kong can't survive the cold and that they can't return him to Skull Island, Nathan suggests telling Kong that the rest of his kind could possibly be down there.

With this, Kong charges ahead as Jia, Ilene, Nathan, and Maia follow him in aircraft made to withstand the gravity of the Hollow Earth. After landing safely, Kong leads the group through the terrain, where they encounter Warbats. Fortunately, Kong manages to kill the creatures before feasting on them. Continuing their journey, they make their way to a fortress that seemingly was the home of Kong's ancestors, as Kong discovers a handprint of one of his kind on the entrance. Inside the fortress, he finds an axe embedded in the corpse of an unknown Titan. Picking it up, Kong notices what appears to be a throne and sits on it, establishing and accepting the Hollow Earth as his new home and kingdom. Suddenly, the axe starts to glow, and Kong instinctively lies it down on the ground, revealing powerful energy within the fortress. However, when Jia, Ilene, and Nathan find themselves threatened at gunpoint by Maia and her personnel, Kong angrily roars and prepares to defend them. However, Hellhawks begin to descend from the ceiling of the fortress, and a hole is burned into it by Godzilla sensing the energy spike. As the fortress starts to collapse, Kong notices Maia's aircraft and grabs it. After peeking inside to make sure Jia wasn't inside, he crushes it when the former attempts to shoot him to escape, killing her in the process. Kong hears Godzilla's roar, issuing the ape another challenge, which an angered Kong accepts and proceeds to make his way up to the surface of the earth with his axe in hand. Arriving in Hong Kong and face-to-face with Godzilla, the two Titans prepare for their final battle.

#### Duel at Hong Kong

*"To be added."*
―To be added.[src]Kong picks up his axe and leaps at Godzilla, who dodges the strike. While trying to take his axe out of the building it is stuck in, Godzilla lunges after Kong, biting the simian Titan and rag-dolling him into buildings. Kong wrestles himself free, landing several decisive blows on Godzilla before knocking him back and retrieving his axe. As Godzilla attempts to fire his atomic breath, Kong rams the handle of his axe down the Titan's throat, blocking it. Godzilla knocks Kong back and tries again, but this time Kong uses his axe to not only block the energy but seemingly absorb it. Godzilla attacks again, knocking Kong down, who in turn slams the axe into Godzilla's thigh, leaving a deep wound. Godzilla removes the axe, throws it away, and continues his attack. Separated from his weapon and vulnerable to Godzilla's atomic breath, Kong proceeds to evade the Titan's ranged attacks by using the buildings of Hong Kong and his superior agility to dodge. Using the environment, Kong fashions a makeshift shield to get close enough and retrieve his axe before leaping off a building and bringing down the now charged-up axe on Godzilla's head, knocking the reptilian Titan out and incapacitating him, giving Kong the win in round 2.

As Godzilla recovers and gets up, Kong ambushes him from above, using a crane to distract him. Placing Godzilla in a chokehold, Kong proceeds to brutally pummel him from behind. Godzilla manages to clamp his jaws down on Kong's arm, yanking it out of its socket and throwing him off. Now on the defensive, Kong backs away as Godzilla viciously crawls at him on all fours. After clawing and stomping on Kong, Kong punches Godzilla's wounded thigh hard, causing Godzilla to roar in pain and stomp on him once more. Godzilla finally manages to subdue the ape Titan and roars at him in a show of dominance. Kong, defeated but still showing no fear and unwilling to yield, roars back in defiance. Godzilla, as if impressed by Kong's resilience and prowess, shows mercy and spares him, thus rewarding Godzilla with his victory. Godzilla leaves Kong alive after getting off his chest, but the huge ape is left close to death.

Later, as Godzilla is battling the unleashed Mechagodzilla, Nathan, Ilene, and Jia approach Kong's body. With his heartbeat growing weak, Nathan uses the Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle to jumpstart Kong's heart, saving him. As Kong awakens, he reunites with Jia and is convinced by the girl to help Godzilla defeat Mechagodzilla. After resetting his dislocated arm against a skyscraper, Kong heads back into battle. As Mechagodzilla prepares to fire a fatal blast down Godzilla's throat, Kong intercepts by jumping on top of the Mecha and diverting the blast away from Godzilla, saving him. Now working together, Kong and Godzilla battle against the Mecha. However, Mechagodzilla proves to be stronger than their combined might, easily throwing Kong aside before overpowering Godzilla again. Seeing his axe among the wreckage, Kong retrieves it and lands several blows on Mechagodzilla, knocking him clear off his feet. However, the axe is ineffective against Mechagodzilla's armor, and the machine prepares to fatally stab the ape Titan with his tail. Godzilla then fires his atomic breath at Kong's axe, charging it up and allowing Kong to push the tail back enough to cut it. Kong then stops Mechagodzilla's punch with his left hand and cuts its right arm off, then he proceeds to finish dismembering the Mecha before tearing off his head, with the spine still attached, and roaring in triumph.

Exhausted and battered, Kong sits down, but his rest is interrupted by the roar of Godzilla, who approaches him. Kong retrieves his axe and prepares to continue the fight, but Godzilla doesn't attack and merely stares him down. Understanding that the true enemy has been defeated, Kong drops the axe, signaling an end to the feud between their species. The two then briefly regard each other as equals and allies before Godzilla returns to the ocean.

## Personality

*"Kong's a pretty good king. Keeps to himself, mostly."*
―Hank Marlow[src]
During his adolescence, Kong is initially shown to be extremely territorial, reclusive, and defensive. As the guardian of Skull Island, he fiercely protected its wildlife from any threats, chiefly the invasive Skullcrawlers and the 1973 Monarch expedition team. Despite not yet fully grown, he was a capable combatant, and could effortlessly trample the majority of Skull Island's predatory fauna. Despite this reclusive and aggressive behavior, Kong was also shown as having a softer side and ultimately was a very lonely creature that strived for social contact. During the 1973 expedition, Kong notably doted upon Mason Weaver after the latter had affectionately touched his face while standing on a cliffside. This simple act visibly affected Kong, who's eyes welled up with tears. Kong would ultimately risk his life to protect Weaver and her company from the awakened Skull Devil, and ultimately disemboweled the creature after refusing to let it swallow the woman. Kong revealed that, at some point during his adolescence, Kong had developed a habit of launching the trunks of tree towards the sun, with the goal of one day actually hitting it.

In 2021, Kong had grown slightly more tolerant of humans and continued his role as guardian of Skull Island. At one point, Kong attempted to rescue a wounded Sker Buffalo from a flock of Psycho vultures and was visibly saddened after failing to do so. After his battle with Camazotz, Kong rescued pilot Audrey Burns from her destroyed fighter jet and briefly recognized the pilot's efforts to help combat Camazotz.

In 2023, Kong had reached adulthood and had become significantly less aggressive towards humans, notably forming a bond with the young Iwi girl Jia. In secret, Jia taught Kong basic sign language, though he would only use it to communicate specifically with her. Despite his friendship with Jia, Kong's loneliness persisted into his adulthood. When removed from Skull Island and placed on a barge in the Tasman sea, Kong repeatedly signed to Jia that he was sad and wanted to go back home. After being transported to a Hollow Earth vortex in Antarctica, Kong was lured into the vortex after Jia explained that others of his kind could still be alive on the other side. The urge for contact with another of his species ultimately drove Kong throughout his journey in the Hollow Earth. During his final battle with Godzilla in Hong Kong, Kong refused to submit to the Alpha Titan even after being beaten physically, and instead roared in defiance. Despite their feud, Kong assisted Godzilla in defeating the mechanized anti-Titan machine known as Mechagodzilla, and afterwards formed an uneasy peace with Godzilla despite not submitting to him, showing a capacity to overlook grudges while also preserving his own sense of pride.

Kong is shown to be primarily carnivorous, as he is seen feeding on numerous animals that he has killed. While on Skull Island, he frequently hunted and ate numerous Mire Squid. While on the barge in Tasman Sea, he was fed hundreds of large fish. While in the Hollow Earth, Kong killed two Warbats and ate the innards of one's head. At one point, Kong had tried to eat a Skullcrawler he had killed but was ultimately disgusted by the vile taste of its meat.

Most notably, Kong is shown to have near human-level intelligence. Aside from having complex emotions, Kong is shown to be readily able of crafting weapons, such as a flail-like weapon using the propeller from a shipwreck, and a club-like weapon using a tree trunk. He quickly mastered the use of his ancestral axe and discovered it could be charged using Hollow Earth energy. Aside from Mothra, Kong is shown to be the only other Titan that can directly communicate with humans via sign language, and frequently uses this skill to talk to Jia.

Due to his status as an Alpha Titan, Kong is shown to have the ability/willpower to resist the authority of other Alpha Titans. He notably rejected Ghidorah's alpha call, and further rejected Godzilla's authority afterwards. Even after being defeated in combat by Godzilla, Kong still refused to submit.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Titanus Kong Physiology** - As a Titanus Kong, Kong is incredibly powerful, as he possesses several physical attributes that surpass those of most other Titans. Kong is also the second-most powerful Titan in existence, second only to Godzilla and the late Ghidorah.
	+ **Superhuman Strength** - Kong's primary power is his immense physical strength due to his humongous size and enormously powerful arms. This makes him far greater than that of his kind; thus, he is the second strongest Titan in existence, second only to Godzilla. As an adolescent, Kong's strength allows him to throw a boulder around half his own size, uproot large trees and throw them a great distance at flying targets with accuracy, fight off a Mire Squid and kill it using his own muscles, and also be able to rip off Skull Devil's powerful tongue when it latched onto him, killing the alpha Skullcrawler. His punches can smash helicopters as well as incapacitate Skullcrawlers, and he can wrestle and pin the alpha to the ground by using sheer force. He was also capable of casually lifting a crashed helicopter off of a trapped Sker Buffalo with just one hand. Kong was even strong enough to break free from the anchor chains of a wrecked ship. After reaching adulthood in 2023, Kong possesses the strength to almost overpower Godzilla. He was able to grab hold of both of the alpha Titan's arms and keep him still before unleashing a devastating headbutt that knocks Godzilla back, despite Godzilla's attempts to claw and bite his face. Kong's punches were shown to make Godzilla stagger and even fall to the ground, but while his strength can stun and make Godzilla stagger, it did little to slow him down at all. Kong was also able to subdue Godzilla several times, even managing to use his momentum to toss Godzilla away and have distance from one another. Kong even made Godzilla roar in pain after he punched the latter's wounded thigh. Kong could also throw a Warbat with ease before smashing it against another and ripping its head clean off, without its spine intact. Furthermore, Kong was also able to pull and drag a damaged aircraft carrier with his chains, as well as crush a Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle containing Maia Simmons and her guards inside with just one hand. During the final fight with Mechagodzilla, after Godzilla charged Kong's axe, Kong pushed back Mechagodzilla's tail before cutting it off, then stopped the mecha's punch using his left arm with ease, when beforehand he was struggling to hold Mechagodzilla's tail back. Later, he was able to rip the robot's head off, pulling the spinal cord out with it.
	+ **Superhuman Durability** - Kong has extremely thick and durable skin, which makes him incredibly tough and resilient, as he is capable of withstanding great physical damage, partly because of his titanic size. However, Titans of similar strength, like Godzilla, can harm him and, potentially, kill him. As an adolescent, he is capable of withstanding bullets from military helicopters, bites from the Skullcrawlers, and even surviving getting set ablaze in a lake filled with napalm caused by Packard, despite being temporarily knocked out from oxygen depletion. During his battle with Godzilla in Hong Kong, despite being bitten, clawed, and tail whipped by the latter, Kong was able to withstand the majority of these attacks, and the only things that actually affected him were his dislocated left arm and his heart slowing down from Godzilla stomping on his chest very hard, which unluckily caused commotio cordis. Kong has also survived Godzilla's atomic breath, though he was visibly hurt by it. Kong can also survive gravitational inversion, where a planet's worth of gravity is reversed in a split second.
	+ **Superhuman Dexterity** - Like all apes, Kong has five fully opposable digits on each of his hands and feet, allowing him to grab objects and opponents firmly with ease.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - Regardless of his size, Kong's strong legs allow him to run incredibly fast. At one point, he is also shown to knuckle-walk and run on fours in an almost ape-like fashion when entering the Hollow Earth.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - Despite his massive size, Kong is extremely agile, as his muscles and skeleton are extraordinarily flexible, enabling him to quickly dodge bullets from military helicopters and the Skullcrawlers that attack him from behind. He can also swing his long arms to make effective combat strikes. After the fleet was decimated by Godzilla and Kong was transported to Antarctica, he swung on the pipes inside the entrance to the Hollow Earth with considerable speed. In their second fight in Hong Kong, Kong showcased his agility by climbing and swinging around buildings with ease, despite his large size. With his agility, he was able to avoid Godzilla's atomic breath for a while, only being hit once in both of their fights.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - Kong's musculature is considerably efficient. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all, allowing him to fight for longer durations against his formidable opponents, such as Skullcrawlers, Mire Squids, Skull Devil, giant chameleons, the Kraken, Camazotz, Warbats, Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla, lasting several minutes.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes** - Kong's reflexes are sharp enough to block Godzilla’s atomic breath and catch Mechagodzilla’s spinning drill tail in mid-air just seconds before it hits him.
	+ **Superhuman Endurance** - Kong's endurance is shown to be extremely high, as he is capable of enduring powerful attacks from Skullcrawlers, Mire Squids, Skull Devil, giant chameleons, the Kraken, Camazotz, Warbats, Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla, able to fight with all his might while ignoring the pain from injuries sustained from combating opponents.
	+ **Enhanced Senses** - Kong is blessed with powerful acute senses, especially his sense of smell and hearing. He is able to sense a Mire Squid lurking near him while drinking from a lake and can also hear the cries of a trapped Sker Buffalo struggling to break free from the wreckage of a helicopter. Kong was able to sense that he was trapped inside a dome-shaped facility that Monarch had constructed to contain him, while out on the ocean, he was able to sense Godzilla approaching before the radar systems could detect him.
		- **Night Vision** - Kong's vision is powerfully acute to the point of allowing him to fully see clearly in darkness, enabling him to notice people standing on a cliff through the dead of night.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor** - Despite his body's resistance, Kong can sustain a physical injury. If injured, his metabolism enables him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue, depending on how serious his wounds are.
	+ **Longevity** - As with all members of the *Titanus Kong* species, Kong is capable of living for hundreds of thousands of years, but unlike most Titans, he's not immortal.
	+ **Self-Sustenance** - As a Titan, Kong does not need to eat or sleep but nevertheless must perform either to quickly replenish his strength or boost his natural healing factor from battles and other extreme activities. He is also shown to sleep each night out of a habit shared by other living beings.
* **Cybernetic Enhancement** - *To be added*
	+ **Physical Augmentation** - *To be added*

### Abilities

* **Gifted Intellect** - Kong is shown to be an intelligent beast, as he can differentiate his allies from his enemies while displaying the ability to learn and strategize to solve problems at hand. Most notably, he clearly recognizes Preston Packard and his men as threats but does not attempt to harm any other humans he comes across, even going out of his way to save Mason Weaver from drowning. He also takes advantage of his surroundings while fighting and can use tools as many primates do, which he shows by using boulders, trees, and other objects he can grasp as weapons. Kong's intelligence also allows him to anticipate enemy attacks and formulate strategies to deal with them accordingly, which explains how he easily defeated a pair of Warbats and was quick to analyze Godzilla's fighting style and power in order to maintain his ground against the veteran Titan. In his fight against the latter, Kong not only keeps preventing him from using it effectively by closing the distance and re-directing his head away from him, but also moves from one building to another so as not to become a sitting duck, all while exploiting his battle axe's ability to absorb the latter's atomic breath to either defend himself or turn the alpha Titan's atomic breath against him. This, coupled with quick mastery of his axe, turned out to be crucial in defeating Mechagodzilla, arguably among the aspects of Kong that Godzilla admires since they both know brute force alone is sometimes not enough to combat formidable adversaries.
* **Skilled Combatant** - Kong is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, being able to perform a variety of punches, kicks, and grapples during his fights with Skullcrawlers, Skull Devil, Mire Squids, the Kraken, three giant chameleons, Camazotz, Warbats, Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla. His combat skills extend to the use of objects or weapons, most notably his battle axe, which he uses to fight against Godzilla and Mechagodzilla.
	+ **Axe Mastery** - Kong can offensively and defensively use his battle axe in his fights, as shown when he battled Godzilla and later Mechagodzilla.
* **Stealth** - Kong is shown to be stealthy, as he was able to sneak away from Godzilla and hide on the top of a building during their second battle in Hong Kong.
* **Sign Language Mastery** - Kong was taught sign language in order to communicate, as Jia is currently the only person he trusts with this form of communication, to the point where he avoided using it when anyone else was around to see him do so. Kong is even able to speak a single word, simply by saying "home." Given that Jia can communicate with him fluently and explain to him what is happening, it is very clear that Kong can understand sign language quite well.

### Weaknesses

* **Freezing Temperatures** - *To be added*
* **Bodily Armor** - *To be added*
	+ **Oxygen Deprivation** - *To be added*
* **Swimming** - *To be added*

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Kong's Battle Axe** - Kong's primary weapon is an enormous battle axe with its blade made from what appears to be a dorsal plate from another one of Godzilla's kind. When wielding his axe, Kong is capable of using it to absorb energy from the Hollow Earth as well as Godzilla's atomic breath. In their final battle, the fully charged axe was overcharged and made an energy burst powerful enough to knock both Kong and Godzilla back. Godzilla voluntarily charges the axe again when he and Kong battle Mechagodzilla, allowing Kong to quickly dismantle the machine. Kong can swing the axe at a top speed of 62 miles per hour.

### Other Equipment

* **Mechanical Gauntlet** - After sustaining an injury to his right arm from Skar King, Kong received a mechanical brace that enhanced and supported his physical condition.
