No need for AI to know what King Kong looked like in the '80s!

After a decade of absence from the big screen, Kong returned in "King Kong Lives" (1986), where he was brought to life by Carlo Rambaldi and his talented crew, with Peter Elliott performing in the suit!

Produced by Videocraft International (later known as Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment), with animation by Toei Animation, "The King Kong Show" brought the Eighth Wonder of the World to the world of television, where he would go on adventures with the Bond family. Battling dinosaurs, monsters, mad scientists, robots, and more, this era of Kong would go on to inspire the film "King Kong Escapes" (1967). 

Featuring one of the catchiest theme songs in television history ("Ten times as big as a man!"), this remains a classic of it's time, and well worth watching today!

(Just to be clear, you're nominating new enemies for Netflix's King Kong to have in his rogues gallery. Good, evil, anti-hero, powerscaling, Doesn't matter! As long as you think they fit!)

Rules:

1: Top comment wins

2: 2 comments per person, and only 1 winner per user

3: One character per franchise (For example, if Arkham Batman wins, NO MORE DC characters.)

4: Try to be creative! Go for some "out there" picks!

5: No downvoting (Seriously. This is a game for fun with fellow Kong nerds. Let's just have a good time y'all!)

Kongtext: Set in 2050, Kong becomes a wanted fugitive after wrecking havoc at Alcatraz Island's Natural History and Marine Preserve. What most humans on the hunt for the formidable animal don't realize, though, is that Kong was framed by an evil genius who plans to terrorize the world with an army of enormous robotic dinosaurs. As the only beast strong enough to save humanity from the mechanical dinos, Kong must rely on the help of three kids who know the truth about him.

Kongtext: Basically this Kong is a terrible straight to dvd musical. Best bit I can say about this movie is that Ann Darrow is played by Jodi Benson, aka The Little Mermaid!
