King Kong is a giant ape monster created featured in the 2000 BKN International animated series, Kong: The Animated Series. He was cloned from the original Kong by Dr. Lorna Jenkins using added DNA from her grandson Jason Jenkins.

This genetic link allows them to use Dr. Jenkins' Cyber-Link computer to merge their consciousnesses into a single body, be it Jason's or Kong's. This allows for the merged Kong to take on Jason's intelligence in battle, or for Kong to shrink into Jason's body to travel discreetly at the cost of him taking on Kong's aggression and impulsivity. During battle, Kong's rage may overtake Jason's consciousness and become Mega Kong, a gigantic version of himself with increased strength and diminished rationality.

Name

Main article: King Kong#Name.

King Kong's name was conceived by the character's creator, Merian C. Cooper, after he read his friend Douglas Burden's account of traveling to the island of Komodo and encountering Komodo dragons there. In Burden's book, Dragon Lizards of Komodo, he referred to the animal as the "King of Komodo." Fond of hard-sounding words beginning with a "k" sound, Cooper was inspired by this phrase to give his giant ape creation the name of Kong. David O. Selznick eventually added "King" to the title of Cooper's film in order to prevent audiences from confusing it with a docudrama, as Cooper had previously produced multiple such films with one-word titles.

When merged with Jason Jenkins through the use of the Cyber-Link Computer, the resulting form is referred to as Cyber-Kong. When sufficiently enraged, Cyber-Kong will grow in size and is named Mega Kong in this state.

Origins

After the defeat of the original Kong in New York City, Dr. Lorna Jenkins used a sample of his DNA to clone a new Kong, which she raised alongside her grandson Jason Jenkins, until Ramone De La Porta broke into her lab to steal her research on the Primal Stones of the Elements and saw Kong. At that point, Kong was moved from North America to Kong Island, where his ancestor had been taken from years before. In the time of the original Kong's absence, he was thought dead by some, and dismissed as a legend by younger generations. People that encounter Kong for the first time usually mistake him for his ancestor, believing him to be still alive after his rampage in New York.

Abilities

Physical capabilities

Genetic memory

Due to being a clone of the original Kong, Kong possesses some of his memories. This allowed him to know of Chiros despite having not encountered him prior.

Cyber-Kong

Through the use of Dr. Lorna Jenkin's Cyber-Link Computer, Kong can merge with Jason Jenkins to become a Cyber-Link Mutant with Kong's strength and Jason's strategizing ability. The form does come with certain risks. Kong can become part of Jason's body just as Jason can become part of his, and carrying Kong's consciousness inside of his own can prove very stressful and exhausting for Jason. Kong is often reluctant to Merge, as he greatly dislikes losing total control of his actions, and if he is not ready or totally willing to merge he may push Jason's will aside in favor of his own.

Mega-Kong

Should the rage in Jason and Kong's hearts be sufficient, Cyber-Kong will grow to twice his normal size, gain considerable strength and become Mega-Kong. While Mega-Kong can be an extreme help in battle, Neither Kong's nor Jason's consciousness controls it: It runs solely on rage and instinct, making Mega-Kong highly unstable and liable to hurt his allies.
