King Kong

King Kong's powers and abilities

Agility

In Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong has extraordinary agility and climbing abilities, as he is capable of scaling massive cliffs and mountain faces with relative ease. In combination with his strength, Kong is capable of leaping long distances despite his height, as demonstrated when he avoided two Sky Devils helicopters from two directions in 1973, and to allow Kong to move to a star destroyer during his fight against Godzilla in the Tasman Sea. Kong utilizes these skills to great effect in his battle against Godzilla in Hong Kong, using the surrounding buildings to avoid Godzilla's atomic breath and maneuver around him.

Carnivorous Diet

Kong regularly preys on and consumes meat from creatures such as Mire Squids and Warbats. While on route to Monarch's Antarctica base, he is shown eating fish caught for him by the handful. In the animated series, Kong's Hawk companion was shown to capture prey like Grass Hedgehogs for the ape to consume. Kong is further seen devouring a crocodilian monster in the show.

Durability and stamina

Kong is tough and resilient and has shown great recuperative powers. His stamina remains high even in an injured state, able to remain in full-fledged battles with other Titans lasting several minutes. As an adolescent, Kong was able to withstand bullets from attack helicopters and wounds from Skullcrawlers, though he was still injured by these attacks. Despite being temporarily knocked out from oxygen depletion from a napalm explosion, Kong could still briefly defend himself and awaken moments later to continue fighting against the Skull Devil. Kong showed no signs of exhaustion after his arduous battle with the Skull Devil. In Kingdom Kong, Kong can survive a fall from thousands of feet twice after being airlifted by Camazotz and later in Godzilla vs Kong he survives another fall from possibly thousands of feet when he enters the Hollow Earth from the Vile Vortex. During his battle with Godzilla in Hong Kong, despite being bitten, clawed, and tail whipped by the Alpha Titan, Kong was able to withstand these attacks and the only injuries that actually affected him were his dislocated shoulder and bodily shock following the battle. Kong has also survived Godzilla's atomic breath though he was visibly hurt by it. Kong can also survive Gravitational Inversion, a planet's worth of gravity reversed in a split second.

Intelligence

Kong's most distinctive feature is his near human level of intelligence. More so than any other Titan, Kong has shown an ability to learn and adapt to changes in battle; utilizing the environment to his advantage and being able to improvise and craft weaponry from his environment. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong is seen using the corpse of a Warbat as a weapon by slamming it into another attacking Warbat. Kong is particularly adept with his battle axe, using it to great effect in his battle against Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. His intelligence is also demonstrated when he uses a waterfall as a shower during his morning routine.

Communication

By the time of Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong has learned sign language from Jia, making him the first and to date only Titan capable of actively communicating with humans. Jia is currently the only human he trusts with this knowledge to the point he avoided using it when anyone else was around to see him do so. Kong is even able to speak a single word out loud: "Home."

Senses

Kong's senses are keen and powerful. At one point, he sensed a Mire Squid lurking near him while drinking water from a lake and even heard the cries of a trapped Sker Buffalo struggling to break free from the wreckage of a helicopter. His vision is also strong enough to notice people standing on a cliff through the dead of night. While on route to Antarctica, he was able to sense Godzilla approaching well before the radar systems could detect Godzilla.

In Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong was able to detect the League of Assassins' presence despite their proficiency in stealth and being adept to ninjutsu, before Green Arrow notices them.
