King Kondo

King Kondo is the monstrous leader of the Empire of the Apes, a powerful fighter and leader who, despite his distrust of humanity, fights to protect the Earth, especially from the Planet Eaters. Kondo's reign as King would see the Apes form their jungle homes, rejecting the council of their Elders to remain within their sheltered lives, and expanding outwards to save the world.

Ubercorp International would later use his image and build to help construct Robo Kondo.

Lore
The arrival of the Destroyers has drawn the ire of many great beasts once hidden in the untracked jungles and wilderness places. One of the greatest of Earth’s savage defenders is known as King Kondo, a primate of gargantuan proportions with a rage to match his height and girth. Kondo has the strength to punch through buildings or lift and throw entire trains. He has no reason to trust humanity, particularly after a disastrous attempt by a secret multi-national task force to take him captive and use him as a chained weapon, but most of his ire is reserved for unnatural horrors like the Planet Eaters.
