Kong is a giant gorilla monster who appears in the 2016 Netflix original animated series, Kong: King of the Apes. He was thought to be one of the last apes of any kind still living in the wild upon his capture in 2039. Unlike most gorillas, Kong began to grow exponentially and as an adult, he was framed for the destruction of his home on Alcatraz Island, which earned him infamy in the eyes of the world until news footage of his heroism and Richard Remy's admission of guilt, making him more publicly heroic.
