King Kong is a gigantic ape who lived on Skull Island until 1933, when he was relocated to New York City. He escaped captivity, but unlike more traditional interpretations of the character, he was able to succesfully fend off the United States military, and forced the evacuation of all of Manhattan, where he would live in relative peace for the next fifteen years.

Origins

The specifics of this Kong's origins are not explored, but up until his encounter with the Navy atop the Empire State Building, he lived on Skull Island and was taken from it in 1933, when he was put on display in New York. Although they tried to kill him, Kong defeated the might of the United States military, and caused the evacuation of Manhattan altogether. For the next fifteen years he was left to his own devices in his new urban jungle. In the time since, Kong became something of a celebrity, and his visage could be seen on cereal boxes, commercials, and by 1947 was being considered as the subject of a motion picture. Kong's status as a pop culture icon made it tricky for politicians to call for his execution.

History

The Kong Crew

"Manhattan Jungle"

When a young pilot named Virgil Price flew his plane toward the Flatiron building with a Pteranodon hot on his heels, Kong took notice and swatted at the passing vehicle, clipping its tail, and sending it spiraling to the jungle floor.

"Worse than Hell"

"Hudson Megalodon"

In 1937, the young Captain Pearl led three Curtiss Helldivers attempted to corral Kong in Central Park by motivating him with warning shots. Unfortunately for the airmen, at least one shot struck Kong between his eyes. He glowered at the planes and roared, which stirred a flock of nearby pterosaurs, who went on to attack them.

Ten years later, Kong remained in thr manhattan jungle, where he would seek out gigantic snakes to battle when they came to the surface when it rained. On one such day, he grappled a serpent near where group of wayward civilians were. Journalist Irvin Stone was tempted to photograph the battle, and narrowly avoided being crushed. He and the others ran away, and Kong triumphed and pulled the snake's head off.
