History
Kong Reborn
After rising out of family tragedy, Jack enrolled in pre-med at Cornell University, but quickly changed majors and graduated summa cum laude in biology. This lead him and a group of friends to build a genetic engineering empire in the growing biotechnology industry under the name Denham Products. However in the years since the company's foundation, Jack found himself longing for the lab work he had left behind as CEO. He rarely went out, and did most of his work from home, a luxury penthouse ten minutes from his company's campus.
While indulging his usual ritual of watching multiple news channels at once on his two TVs, he saw that Charlton Hemming of rival company CenCo. and its subsidiary Bionimals had cloned a dwarf mammoth, and intended to make more. This angered Jack, as he had cloned a mammoth fully one year ahead of Hemming, and he had even earlier resurrected the pygmy elephant, which had gone extinct in the time of ancient Rome. Jack preferred to try to reintroduce creatures that had been killed off more recently by human interference, but Hemming's promise of "something much bigger" made Jack assume that he had also purchased on the black market some of the blood of Kong, which had been discovered on the Empire State Building in 1999. Fearing that this would be the final attempt to send his company under, Jack decided to take rash action. He gathered a team of scientists to clone the ape, and work began. Shortly after, jack consulted his lawyer, who confirmed that there was almost no way to clear the theft charges, let alone allow him to keep anything created with the stolen sample. Months later in April, Jack got word of contracts from four central African nations for their near drought-proof grain "New Millet". While celebrating, Jack got word from the Kong team that they expected to be able to try cloning by May.
After months of work, the new Kong was born, and Jack filed patents for the new species. Before Hemming could sue, Jack went on CNN to promote the creature as a monument to what good can be done for the world through genetic engineering.
