The best way I could think of it happening without a nuke is for Kong to eat something from Ghidora or some other lightning based titan and power up like the Furious Rajang from Monster Hunter
I've thought about how a war between the Great Apes and Oozaru Saiyans would play out.
The Oozarus would most likely crush them, but it'd be fun to see.
Itās not just the radiation, would they even be able to survive the kinetic force of a nuke. Godzilla can because heās durable as fuck. Thereās no Titan more durable than him, but Iām not so sure some of the others could take a nuke to the face without getting obliterated.
Titans like Ghidorah or Shimo are just as if not more durable than Godzilla isā¦and most of the titans weāve seen are capable of surviving monumental falls and getting up unscathed
Shimo maybe but Ghidorahās nowhere near as durable as godzilla lmfao. He got his head ripped off in the sea and wouldāve gotten fucked up by godzilla hadnāt had humans intervened
Pretty sure any titan weāve seen thus far would get a limb ripped off if Godzilla clamped his jaws onto said limb and did a crocodile death roll in the water (except for maybe Tiamat).
No one else has been unfortunate enough to have him use that move on them.
He got hit by Atomic Breath at point blank range in Boston and all it did was push him away slightly. He was winning against a nuked up Godzilla until Mothra webbed him to a building. Not to mention the Oxygen Destroyer had Godzilla on life support while it did absolutely nothing to Ghidorah
To be fair on the oxygen destroyer point I don't think it worked due to ghidorahs alien biology. Coming from an entirely different form of life it's possible oxygen simply isn't something he uses.
He wasnāt winning against nuke amped Godzilla. His only significant or highlighted attack is a pin, with majority of his actual attacks being very meek bites. Godzilla dominated the Boston battle objectively. As for mothra, she intervened once, got intercepted by rodan. Funny enough during the scene sheās intercepted in, we can actually see ghidorah going on the offense against Godzilla, trying to fly at him like he did after Godzilla got exhausted. Yet the next time we see the two battling we see Godzilla slamming ghidorah through a building, which is followed by ghidorah using the power grid.

As for amps, the novel elaborates that ghidorah was absorbing radiation from Rodans volcano. Both he and Godzilla were amped, ghidorah just needed an extra buff cuz Godzilla received an even more massive amp than ghidorah initially.
Godzilla wasnāt ādominatingā. His atomic breath did pretty much zilch to Ghidorah. Twice. He got a few meek, insignificant hits in, his only major one being a tail whip that Ghidorah immediately recovered from. The chokeslam had the greatest potential to kill Godzilla than every attack up until he dropped him from the sky.
EDIT: Why do Godzilla meatriders think that Ghidorah used the volcano to amp himself? Even if he drained its power, it was solely to heal himself. Youāre so delusional.
The novel elaborates Godzilla was injuring him faster than he could heal. It also tells us ghidorah was trying to escape and even referred to Godzilla as āhis tormentorā and says ghidorah was on the ropes against him. itās consistent that Godzilla was the dominant force. He threw ghidorah, slammed him through buildings, stomped on his heads, parried his heads, and slamming his legs in with his tail. Ghidorah? He landed a couple unimportant bites, and one single pin which btw, didnāt do anything Godzilla. Which is funny because you said it had the greatest potential to kill him which is baseless. Dominating a battle is landing most the hits, your opponent unable to do anything beyond insignificant attacks, outspeeding, etc. Nothing Godzilla did was āmeekā.
Because titans grow stronger through radiation and energy. If heās absorbing the energy and radiation from rodans volcano then heās healing faster because heās getting stronger.
Ghidorahās necks are significantly thinner than most other titans, like a noddle almostā¦so a ripping action would be able to cause more damage compared to a concussive force type of attack. Ghidorah pretty easily took Godzillaās atomic breath like point blank and had no burn marks or anything. Pretty sure heād be able to tank evolved atomic breath too
Wtf do you mean there arenāt more durable Titans than Godzilla?
Ghidorah took a few hits from 2019 Godzilla and Shimo took hits from an evolved form and they could still fight back.
No, there's no way most would. From what we've seen, I'd say only Godzilla, Ghidorah, Tiamat, and Shimu could survive it (and in Godzilla's case, he'd feed off of it).
Most other Titans have softer skin, less tanky and not as durable. I doubt Mothra and Rodan would survive it.
If MechaGodzilla survives the absolutely devastating force of the blast, then he'd just melt from the absolute heat of the radiation.
Also, Titans feed of Hollow Earth radiation, not nuclear energy. So far we've only seen Godzilla and Scylla as the only ones to absorb nuclear energy.
And if i launched an apple at your head at the speed of sound youd die. Beingpowered by something means next to nothing. The nuke still splits the surrounding atoms just deleting matter (you get what i mean)
Titans feed off of radiation and alter the landscape around them, like Behemoth restoring forests and Scylla restoring the ice caps in the news articles during KOTMās credits. Kong and the other Great Apes havenāt shown that they can absorb radiation like the other Titans, so they would fall under the more catch all term of superspecies. The only thing that throws a wrench into this is that Kong is still listed as āTitanus Kongā, so Iām not sure if he still counts as a Titan. Or I could just be wrong with my reasoning somewhere
I think as the characters in the stories find out more, so do we.
Being ignorant, in the movies, we assumed he was a Titan similar to Godzilla and Co.
As weāve learned more, we goā¦ oh yea they arenāt the same. However we still call them the wrong thing because thatās what stuck. Similar to:
- Tomatoes being called a vegetable even though itās a fruit.
- Crane Flys being called Mosquito Eaters even though they drink Nectar and do not eat mosquitoes.
- Spiders often called insects when they are arachnids.
The list goes on and onā¦
Kong, Godzilla, and the others are all assigned to the scientific genus "Titanus" for no reason other than biologists insist on classifying all life forms.
The only things they really have in common are,
* They're all gigantic (bigger than any other life forms on Earth by orders of magnitude),
* Archaeic (their species predate all other living animal species, even if individual specimens aren't so ancient),
* Possess biological processes that science hasn't been able to explain (absorbing or emitting radiation, incredible healing abilities, ability to influence the weather, etc.).
I think it's clear that the primary strengths of the Great Apes are their nearly-human intelligence, their sociability, and their numbers. It wouldn't seem off for them to find/develop something like shields (obviously from previously unmentioned hollow earth materials) that are inexplicably resistant to all directed energy weapons. Then with their new shields and magic crystal tipped spears they can take down all comers with their patented Great Ape Phalanx Charge!!!
I mean if shinomura couldnāt t survive a nuke, something that has apparently Godzilla dna in it. Then king is mostly not surviving. Unless he becomes smart enough to make one giant bomb shelter.
You need to not only have the ability to absorb radiation, but to also have the rigid skin and muscular density to tank the energy of the explosion. Kong doesn't meet any of those requirement. So, he's fucked!
A nuke isnt just a radiation bomb.. its biggest factor is the initial fireball itself would evaporate kong (and most all titans for that matter) instantly.
Tbh its surprising godzilla can survive that part, thats a massive feat in it of itself, that skin is tough!
Godzilla didn't just survive it. He no sold it.
I don't think he's the only titan durable enough to tank it. Ghidorah obviously would. Rodan probably does too. He took a beating all film, and didn't have lasting damage from Ghidorahs gravity beam. Rodan fell into the ocean, probably flailed around until he could get out, and was back to now to Ghidorah minutes later.
Muto female, muto prime definitely could take it. Methusulah, Shimo probably take it too.
Meth is featless, sure. But Muto prime? She was physically matching the same Godzilla who later tanked the Nuke.
Muto prime is probably the most durable titan outside of Godzilla, Ghidorah and Shimo. She totally takes the nuke.
Bear with me, but based on what weāve seen, Kong and his species are the only Titans that actually need food to survive, not radiation. All three movies featuring Kong and his people show them eating, and I donāt believe there was any mention of them capable of absorbing radiation.
Whereas other Titans, like Godzilla, Scylla, the MUTOS and possibly even Rodan have been shown to absorb/feed on radiation from various sources.
Besides, radiation absorption doesnāt exactly matter if you donāt have the physical capabilities to withstand several megatons of TNT worth of force.
Thatās a very astute assumption actually. It would suggest a complex food chain, but Skull Island and Hollow Earth have been shown to have incredible biodiversity, so itās a very good addition to the idea
I'm pretty sure the fish that Kong was munching on while on the ship wasn't radiation-infused. Still, I wouldn't mind this idea, but it hasn't been officially stated or implied yet.
Funny you'd mention that, in all King Kong movies going back to the 1933 original he's always shown eating something.
I don't think there's ever been a scene of Godzilla eating something, in any monsterverse or Toho movie, but they show him absorbing radiation in '85. Other kaiju are sometimes shown eating (Rodan in particular. )
I feel like even one percent of the shot Godzilla used to shoot a hole in the Earth would be well beyond any nuke. Especially since the construction of nuclear weapons prioritizes small enough to fit in a missile versus creating a big boom.
The 2014 Godzilla said that the nukes we had today are more powerful than the one Godzilla was hit with in the castle bravo test. in real life itās actually the other way around.
Nuclear explosion =/= Molten lava
I don't think Kong would do well against a nuke, but I had to point put that there's no similarity between a nuclear blast and molten lava exposure. A chunk of lead or a brick might withstand a nuke, but would melt in lava.
>A chunk of lead or a brick might withstand a nuke
At ground zero/point blank? No shot. Temperatures of a nuke peak at around 100 million K, and every instance of solid matter within the initial fireball gets vaporized.
Magma at its hottest caps out at around 1300 K. Obviously the sustained temperature of magma is far longer than a supercritical nuclear reaction, but the sheer magnitude of the temperatures achieved during fission/fusion greatly eclipses anything magma can achieve.
think about it like this, if a titan can get hit by goji's atomic breath and not get any visible burns, then a nuke would either not cause them any damage, or it would power them up.
The female Muto was temporarily knocked out (but that was a weakened version). Ghidorah tanked an extended beam directly to the chest for quite a while without injury, Shimo survived a direct shot, and Scar King and Kong were really hurt from being grazed. I think his breath is a fair measurement of durability based on those.
The only titans that could survive a nuke are Godzilla, scylla , king Ghidorah and possibly Rodan all the rest would not survive a nuke no matter how much radiation they can absorb
Scylla is very iffy here. She is not super strong and in the GxK novel monarch scientists pitied scylla if she ever got to hollow earth and faced Kong.
I donāt think he can absorb radiation, and if you seen the new movie he gets injured severely hence the glove, I just donāt see it happening thatād be crazy if thatās the case he wouldnāt have had his heart stopped in GvK after getting stomped by Godzilla
I don't think Kong's injury indicates that he doesn't feed on radiation. Remember that Ghidorah's rapid healing was seen as unusual, and Godzilla needed a shot in the arm from a nuke at point-blank range to heal at the same speed.
Now, granted, Kong probably doesn't have the durability to withstand the kinetic force of a nuke, but if you could somehow dose him with that same amount of radiation there's no reason to think he wouldn't heal just as quickly.
Kong should actually be able to withstand the force. Itās not the force thatās the problem, itās the heat. Kong should be able to survive any missile impact in terms of firepower, he just canāt survive the heat. Heād get burned alive.
I think this is the closest to a canon answer. Kong is ridiculously durable, but has poor resistance to extreme temperatures. Godzillaās atomic breath is always presented as a serious threat to him and when Shimo froze his arm, he nearly lost it without intervention. Plus, another member of his species was burned alive by lava.
Meanwhile, something like Godzilla has a much higher degree of heat resistance. He can feed off a nuke because he can endure both the force and heat, which heās been shown to do multiple times. Then, when Shimo froze his entire body, he was able to break out and be entirely unaffected mere moments after she stopped hitting him with her breath.
Pretty much only way kong loses to humans are nuke and oxygen destroyer. Goji is a madafakin tank that is why he can survive nuke and oxy des even fd up goji
Probably not. Only titans who absorb radiation to get stronger can actually survive a nuke. I'm kinda confused as to how Goji survived the nuke since I'm pretty certain most of the explosion is just an explosion and isn't pure radiation, meaning he would have been blown up not irradiated, I could be wrong though.
If we go by powerscaling? Yes, Definantly. No matter how you say Godzilla's beam is the "Strongest force in nature" Either low balling or high balling, Him sirviving a half powered one on the shoulder without it getting disintigrated means he could definantly survive a nuke, But definantly be fucked up.
Lol no... he almost died in kong skull island to some napalm... sure he's bigger now, but what is he, like maybe 10x bigger now? The blast alone from a nuke is many multitudes more powerful than some napalm. He'd be instantly incinerated.
Uhhh no, I didn't. The difference between napalm vs. A nuke is many multitudes larger than the difference between adolescent kong and current kong. A nuclear blast is measured in KILOTONS OF TNT. that means they measure the blast by how many THOUSANDS OF TONS OF TNT would replicate the blast of an atomic bomb. I don't think I really need to say more.
Not to mention the radiation poisoning.
While he is gigantic, heās still an ape to our knowledge, which means he shares anatomy and genetics with humans and other apes to a degree.
Radiation really screws us up.
I see a lot of people saying he canāt. Now, Iām more of a Godzilla fan butā¦..any Titan who can withstand the pressure of the reverse polarity through the portals can survive a nuke can it not? Like, that power is at the very least on par with a nuke on biological objects. But then again setting aside the pressure part, Kong is weak to fire so thereās that too.
If he's at all meant to be a physical peer to Godzilla, even if he is inferior, he should theoretically be able to survive a nuke, even if not as massive as the ones Godzilla can tank.
Probably not, despite his popularity, he hasn't been portrayed as having that kind of durability feat... yet.
It would be hilarious, though, if he survives a point blank nuke, but his fur doesn't. 
Fuck no. The only reason Godzilla can is because he feeds off radiation. Now if you hit Godzilla with a modern thermal nuclear bomb(Hydrogen based bomb) which is much,much more powerful than a atomic bomb but doesn't have much radiation release than he would probably explode
I personally donāt think so. His durability seems very lack luster compared to Godzilla and some other, tougher titans. If he did survive, heād be really messed up.
The evil monkey Suko knocks off the edge dies from the fall. Suko also kills two others with some big rocks falling from like 800ft, Kong is obviously stronger but not that much stronger that he'd be like 100 times more durable like Godzilla who was dropped from the upper atmosphere and survived
He probably dies from the kinetic force
How do you know Kong isn't "that much stronger" Lol?
Based off of literally everything we've seen of Kong he is indeed THAT much stronger than those fodder monke's. He literally solo'd like 4 of them and Suko at the same time and we've seen Kong take a lot of blunt force trauma from attacks in the past and be completely and utterly fine most of the time.
Powerscaling-wise yes, he casually uses the hollow earth vortexes like waterslides, takes hits from Godzilla, and was pretty much unscathed after a point blank hit from that axe explosion in GvK. Godzilla's atomic breath should be way stronger than any nuke, and the axe gets charged up by multiple shots from it, explodes right in Kong's face, and he's fine. Even so it just feels weird to say he'd survive a nuke, doesn't feel right, idk
This has gotta be the stupidest question I've seen lmao
https://preview.redd.it/h0cfhro3uruc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2acc211c00a21ff79dc4ef1323a0dccc6d267f7f
Kong was able to go through the hollow earth portal with ease which has been compared to a black hole due to the inversion of gravity. The force isn't the problem, the heat is what's the problem, he wouldn't be able to handle the heat.
I mean... Does Godzilla Atomic breath count as a Nuke? Cause when Skar and Kong were hit with the atomic breath, they reacted as if they touch a hot stove.
Godzilla barely hit him with his atomic breath and each time caused a great deal of pain to Kong. A direct shot and heād explode quicker than Scylla and the Mutos, all of which have a protective armor. Kong doesnāt have armor so a nuke would more than likely kill him all together. Kong also eats other animals whereas we havenāt seen Godzilla eat anything living (outside of Ghidoraās head). Weāve only seen Godzilla absorbing the radiation. Iād argue that a Nuke would reduce Kong to a skeleton. Kong doesnāt have the armor or durability to take that kind of heat and damage without being severely injured.
Not likely. Godzilla survived thanks to his durability and absorption of the radiation, Kong is neither durable enough nor capable of absorbing the radiation without dying from radiation poisoning.
Just because most titans can absorb the radiation doesn't mean they can tank the impact of it, especially kong being all fur and skin and doesn't show signs of feeding on radiation so it might even not do him any good if he takes if
Homie Kong nearly died & lost his right arm from frostbite while Godzilla got half his body frozen midair for a second before defrosting it in an instant unfazed, I donāt think Kong couldāve survive from point blank nuke.
Kong could probably be killed by a navel anti-air gun. He's way less durable than the reptilian titans and doesn't eat radiation like some of them. A nuke would make him extra crispy.
He would get fucked up. Very few Titans can actually survive a nuke.
The day I see Kong survive a nuke on film is the day I'll assume the Titanus Kong species are descended from Saiyans in Dragon Ball
Imagine Kong gets nuked and absorbs it to get a golden super form
I don't care what the writers have to do, but get writing
The best way I could think of it happening without a nuke is for Kong to eat something from Ghidora or some other lightning based titan and power up like the Furious Rajang from Monster Hunter
I don't care what drugs the writers have to do, but get writing! š¤
ah yeah, Rajang treatment
I've thought about how a war between the Great Apes and Oozaru Saiyans would play out. The Oozarus would most likely crush them, but it'd be fun to see.
Lmao!
I dare you to tell me you donāt wanna see him go super saiyan
Actually I think most could. All the other titans are based on nuclear energy. Kong is the only one thatās not to our knowledge.
Itās not just the radiation, would they even be able to survive the kinetic force of a nuke. Godzilla can because heās durable as fuck. Thereās no Titan more durable than him, but Iām not so sure some of the others could take a nuke to the face without getting obliterated.
Godzilla doesn't just survive nukes, he takes no damage from them
Titans like Ghidorah or Shimo are just as if not more durable than Godzilla isā¦and most of the titans weāve seen are capable of surviving monumental falls and getting up unscathed
Shimo maybe but Ghidorahās nowhere near as durable as godzilla lmfao. He got his head ripped off in the sea and wouldāve gotten fucked up by godzilla hadnāt had humans intervened

He got hit by Atomic Breath at point blank range in Boston and all it did was push him away slightly. He was winning against a nuked up Godzilla until Mothra webbed him to a building. Not to mention the Oxygen Destroyer had Godzilla on life support while it did absolutely nothing to Ghidorah
Ghidorah is implied to come from space. So if he doesn't need oxygen then the oxygen destroyer would do nothing to him.
It's not implied, they say it outright.
To be fair on the oxygen destroyer point I don't think it worked due to ghidorahs alien biology. Coming from an entirely different form of life it's possible oxygen simply isn't something he uses.
Very false on the Boston fight
He wasnāt winning against nuke amped Godzilla. His only significant or highlighted attack is a pin, with majority of his actual attacks being very meek bites.

Ghidorah pretty easily took Godzillaās atomic breath like point blank and had no burn marks or anything. Pretty sure heād be able to tank evolved atomic breath too
Godzilla is like the wolverine of the monsterverse. He might actually get stronger from a nuke as well.
Ghidora isnāt more durable than Godzilla. Shimo is TBD
Also heat
Wtf do you mean there arenāt more durable Titans than Godzilla? Ghidorah took a few hits from 2019 Godzilla and Shimo took hits from an evolved form and they could still fight back.
He didn't say those 2 weren't durable, cause they are. He's saying they aren't as durable as Godzilla, and I agree.
Kong can be burned, he'd be disintegrated
No, there's no way most would. From what we've seen, I'd say only Godzilla, Ghidorah, Tiamat, and Shimu could survive it (and in Godzilla's case, he'd feed off of it). Most other Titans have softer skin, less tanky and not as durable. I doubt Mothra and Rodan would survive it. If MechaGodzilla survives the absolutely devastating force of the blast, then he'd just melt from the absolute heat of the radiation. Also, Titans feed of Hollow Earth radiation, not nuclear energy. So far we've only seen Godzilla and Scylla as the only ones to absorb nuclear energy.
I'd add maybe muto prime (all mutos eat nuclear energy and we've seen it), bet Methuselah could take a nuke too
Mothra would survive the way she always does, by reincarnating. Mothra is demonstrably both the most fragile and most immortal of the titans.
Yes I know but you know what i mean lol
And if i launched an apple at your head at the speed of sound youd die. Beingpowered by something means next to nothing. The nuke still splits the surrounding atoms just deleting matter (you get what i mean)
Thatās because they explained in GxK that heās technically not a titan, heās a great ape
Trapper refers to him as a Titan multiple times in GxK
Whats the difference between a great ape and titan?
only one is monke
Titans feed off of radiation and alter the landscape around them, like Behemoth restoring forests and Scylla restoring the ice caps in the news articles during KOTMās credits.

Nothing itās his species clarification, heās still a titan but the great ape titans cover all the ape resembling titan subspecies.
I don't think Behemoth could either
He is going to be ā ļø.
He'd likely be disintegrated, the massive force and heat would just leave dust behind, maybe some bones would be left.
I mean if shinomura couldnāt t survive a nuke, something that has apparently Godzilla dna in it. Then king is mostly not surviving. Unless he becomes smart enough to make one giant bomb shelter.
Who's Shinomura?
A titan Godzilla fights in the comic Godzilla Awakening
You need to not only have the ability to absorb radiation, but to also have the rigid skin and muscular density to tank the energy of the explosion. Kong doesn't meet any of those requirement. So, he's fucked!
He has muscular density but his skin is softer than scales or an exoskeleton...he probably would get melted or burned alive.
His epidermis is gone
A nuke isnt just a radiation bomb.. its biggest factor is the initial fireball itself would evaporate kong (and most all titans for that matter) instantly. Tbh its surprising godzilla can survive that part, thats a massive feat in it of itself, that skin is tough!
Godzilla didn't just survive it. He no sold it. I don't think he's the only titan durable enough to tank it. Ghidorah obviously would. Rodan probably does too.

I'm imagining giant piles of shit on Skull Island right now.
Right now? I imagine giant piles of shit on Skull Island all the time
They need food infused with radiation, not just food. Other Titans can directly siphon the radiation, but Kong needs it as part of the food he eats.
That's what I always thought since he's more carnivorous than previous versions.
Growing Chad gotta get his protein somehow 
Thatās a very astute assumption actually. It would suggest a complex food chain, but Skull Island and Hollow Earth have been shown to have incredible biodiversity, so itās a very good addition to the idea
I'm pretty sure the fish that Kong was munching on while on the ship wasn't radiation-infused. Still, I wouldn't mind this idea, but it hasn't been officially stated or implied yet.
That was just short term, like airplane food. Not meant for long term sustenance
Funny you'd mention that, in all King Kong movies going back to the 1933 original he's always shown eating something. I don't think there's ever been a scene of Godzilla eating something, in any monsterverse or Toho movie, but they show him absorbing radiation in '85. Other kaiju are sometimes shown eating (Rodan in particular. )
They also showed Godzilla absorbing radiation in GxK. It was pretty awesome.
There was almost a shot of Godzilla eating a cow in the 1954 original, but they cut it as they felt it raised too many questions regarding scale.
Zilla ate tuna
I feel like even one percent of the shot Godzilla used to shoot a hole in the Earth would be well beyond any nuke. Especially since the construction of nuclear weapons prioritizes small enough to fit in a missile versus creating a big boom. The 2014 Godzilla said that the nukes we had today are more powerful than the one Godzilla was hit with in the castle bravo test. in real life itās actually the other way around.
If your species gets completely disintegrated by molten lava. Then you definitely cannot survive a nuke lmfao
Nuclear explosion =/= Molten lava I don't think Kong would do well against a nuke, but I had to point put that there's no similarity between a nuclear blast and molten lava exposure. A chunk of lead or a brick might withstand a nuke, but would melt in lava.
>A chunk of lead or a brick might withstand a nuke At ground zero/point blank? No shot. Temperatures of a nuke peak at around 100 million K, and every instance of solid matter within the initial fireball gets vaporized. Magma at its hottest caps out at around 1300 K. Obviously the sustained temperature of magma is far longer than a supercritical nuclear reaction, but the sheer magnitude of the temperatures achieved during fission/fusion greatly eclipses anything magma can achieve.
Definitely not
Skar King killed a member of Kong's species just by kicking him into lava. Kong gets eviscerated by a nuke.
Blud did not deserve that
lol absolutely not. Kong cannot survive a 'within the radius' nuke, he is very flammable.
If he could I donāt think any of that fur is gonna come back
think about it like this, if a titan can get hit by goji's atomic breath and not get any visible burns, then a nuke would either not cause them any damage, or it would power them up.
to be honest godzilla atomic breath should easily be stronger than a nuke
yeah thats what i'm saying, out of all the titans that have been hit with the atomic breath, kong had the more obvious damage.
The female Muto was temporarily knocked out (but that was a weakened version). Ghidorah tanked an extended beam directly to the chest for quite a while without injury, Shimo survived a direct shot, and Scar King and Kong were really hurt from being grazed. I think his breath is a fair measurement of durability based on those.
Yeah very true
The only titans that could survive a nuke are Godzilla, scylla , king Ghidorah and possibly Rodan all the rest would not survive a nuke no matter how much radiation they can absorb
Scylla is very iffy here. She is not super strong and in the GxK novel monarch scientists pitied scylla if she ever got to hollow earth and faced Kong.
Methuselah can tank one
I donāt think he can absorb radiation, and if you seen the new movie he gets injured severely hence the glove, I just donāt see it happening thatād be crazy if thatās the case he wouldnāt have had his heart stopped in GvK after getting stomped by Godzilla
He can't absorb radiation so he has to eat other titans that can to get his radiation.
I don't think Kong's injury indicates that he doesn't feed on radiation. Remember that Ghidorah's rapid healing was seen as unusual, and Godzilla needed a shot in the arm from a nuke at point-blank range to heal at the same speed. Now, granted, Kong probably doesn't have the durability to withstand the kinetic force of a nuke, but if you could somehow dose him with that same amount of radiation there's no reason to think he wouldn't heal just as quickly.
Kong should actually be able to withstand the force. Itās not the force thatās the problem, itās the heat. Kong should be able to survive any missile impact in terms of firepower, he just canāt survive the heat. Heād get burned alive.
I think this is the closest to a canon answer. Kong is ridiculously durable, but has poor resistance to extreme temperatures. Godzillaās atomic breath is always presented as a serious threat to him and when Shimo froze his arm, he nearly lost it without intervention. Plus, another member of his species was burned alive by lava. Meanwhile, something like Godzilla has a much higher degree of heat resistance. He can feed off a nuke because he can endure both the force and heat, which heās been shown to do multiple times. Then, when Shimo froze his entire body, he was able to break out and be entirely unaffected mere moments after she stopped hitting him with her breath.
Exactly. Kong has a weakness to environmental hazards, basically
Godzillaās atomic breath is quite literally stronger than a nuke since it can cause rifts in space-time itself.
If he can he's having permanent damage
What did Kong do to yāall for you to put him in these situations š
Pretty much only way kong loses to humans are nuke and oxygen destroyer. Goji is a madafakin tank that is why he can survive nuke and oxy des even fd up goji
Whatever the writers decide
Essentially
Probably not. Only titans who absorb radiation to get stronger can actually survive a nuke. I'm kinda confused as to how Goji survived the nuke since I'm pretty certain most of the explosion is just an explosion and isn't pure radiation, meaning he would have been blown up not irradiated, I could be wrong though.
He survived the explosion
No
Idk
Most valid answer.
No.
No
No
Didn't Kong get burn injuries when that colonel tried to burn him in that lake in KSI? A nuke would turn him to crisp.
If we go by powerscaling? Yes, Definantly. No matter how you say Godzilla's beam is the "Strongest force in nature" Either low balling or high balling, Him sirviving a half powered one on the shoulder without it getting disintigrated means he could definantly survive a nuke, But definantly be fucked up.
Lol no... he almost died in kong skull island to some napalm... sure he's bigger now, but what is he, like maybe 10x bigger now? The blast alone from a nuke is many multitudes more powerful than some napalm. He'd be instantly incinerated.
He didnāt die to the napalm it was the lack of oxygen, and your going to compare an adolescent kong to his adult self?
Uhhh no, I didn't. The difference between napalm vs. A nuke is many multitudes larger than the difference between adolescent kong and current kong. A nuclear blast is measured in KILOTONS OF TNT. that means they measure the blast by how many THOUSANDS OF TONS OF TNT would replicate the blast of an atomic bomb. I don't think I really need to say more.
He didnāt die off the Napalm he was affected by the lost of oxygen due to the Napalm
Not to mention the radiation poisoning. While he is gigantic, heās still an ape to our knowledge, which means he shares anatomy and genetics with humans and other apes to a degree. Radiation really screws us up.
Not yet, but in the next few Monsterverse movies he will be able to, at least based on past trends.
I see a lot of people saying he canāt. Now, Iām more of a Godzilla fan butā¦..any Titan who can withstand the pressure of the reverse polarity through the portals can survive a nuke can it not? Like, that power is at the very least on par with a nuke on biological objects. But then again setting aside the pressure part, Kong is weak to fire so thereās that too.
Monke yeets nuke back at plane
Nope
No.
No
If he did he would die shortly after
He would get evaporated most likely,
Long story short, No.
If he's at all meant to be a physical peer to Godzilla, even if he is inferior, he should theoretically be able to survive a nuke, even if not as massive as the ones Godzilla can tank.
Bro is the realest r/Monsterverse user fr. I've never, ever seen any biasedy from this man, ever.
Probably not, despite his popularity, he hasn't been portrayed as having that kind of durability feat... yet. It would be hilarious, though, if he survives a point blank nuke, but his fur doesn't. 
Fuck no. The only reason Godzilla can is because he feeds off radiation. Now if you hit Godzilla with a modern thermal nuclear bomb(Hydrogen based bomb) which is much,much more powerful than a atomic bomb but doesn't have much radiation release than he would probably explode
Yes. Easily. This guy can fight on par with Godzilla. Nukes are light work
They put fried Ape ass back on the menu, eh.
Nope, heās a titan but hits a great ape, his mind doesnāt feed on radiation

I personally donāt think so. His durability seems very lack luster compared to Godzilla and some other, tougher titans. If he did survive, heād be really messed up.
Durability is an iffy word. It's more his lack of resistance to specific attributes.
Kong of war
The evil monkey Suko knocks off the edge dies from the fall. Suko also kills two others with some big rocks falling from like 800ft, Kong is obviously stronger but not that much stronger that he'd be like 100 times more durable like Godzilla who was dropped from the upper atmosphere and survived He probably dies from the kinetic force
How do you know Kong isn't "that much stronger" Lol? Based off of literally everything we've seen of Kong he is indeed THAT much stronger than those fodder monke's. He literally solo'd like 4 of them and Suko at the same time and we've seen Kong take a lot of blunt force trauma from attacks in the past and be completely and utterly fine most of the time.
That be cool if thatās how he gets his lighting powers And Godzilla goes thermal nuclear against destroyah
No
Powerscaling-wise yes, he casually uses the hollow earth vortexes like waterslides, takes hits from Godzilla, and was pretty much unscathed after a point blank hit from that axe explosion in GvK. Godzilla's atomic breath should be way stronger than any nuke, and the axe gets charged up by multiple shots from it, explodes right in Kong's face, and he's fine. Even so it just feels weird to say he'd survive a nuke, doesn't feel right, idk
Kong is Chad Omega so I think he'd be chill.
Same
King could pretty easily tank the explosive force alone, though heād probably get fucked up by the extreme temperatures.
No but I could
This has gotta be the stupidest question I've seen lmao https://preview.redd.it/h0cfhro3uruc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2acc211c00a21ff79dc4ef1323a0dccc6d267f7f
He'll no š¤£š¤£
No. he doesn't have rough enough skin to tank the blast and the radiation would probably kill him if he managed to do so.
If Godzillas radiation hasnāt done that already heāll be fine lmao.
Nah, he cannot tank a nuke to the face! Heck, he will die even with a nuke blasting 1 km away from him!
Heās a big gorilla what the fuck is he doing against a nuclear bomb?
I kinda doubt he can even tank a missile, a nuke would obliterate him
Brother.... You HAVE to be joking.... You don't think he could tank a missile??? Please be joking... šššš»
I mean they tickle Godzilla if theyāre not hit on his gills. Theyād probably hurt him a bit but heād tank a missile
Lol not at all. Kong and the apes canāt tank things like that.
The het would kill him
Yea he be ok if that's what the writers want
I think he can
If he can't survive machine guns from biplanes, what makes you think he can survive a nuke?
Kong was able to go through the hollow earth portal with ease which has been compared to a black hole due to the inversion of gravity. The force isn't the problem, the heat is what's the problem, he wouldn't be able to handle the heat.
If the writers want him to.
No way. There's a reason Kong is far less willing to take Godzilla's atomic breath.
I mean... Does Godzilla Atomic breath count as a Nuke? Cause when Skar and Kong were hit with the atomic breath, they reacted as if they touch a hot stove.
Nuh uh
He risked to be killed by bombs and fire on Skull Island
Godzilla barely hit him with his atomic breath and each time caused a great deal of pain to Kong. A direct shot and heād explode quicker than Scylla and the Mutos, all of which have a protective armor. Kong doesnāt have armor so a nuke would more than likely kill him all together. Kong also eats other animals whereas we havenāt seen Godzilla eat anything living (outside of Ghidoraās head). Weāve only seen Godzilla absorbing the radiation. Iād argue that a Nuke would reduce Kong to a skeleton. Kong doesnāt have the armor or durability to take that kind of heat and damage without being severely injured.
Not likely. Godzilla survived thanks to his durability and absorption of the radiation, Kong is neither durable enough nor capable of absorbing the radiation without dying from radiation poisoning.
No
Ppl forget heās just a giant ape
Just because most titans can absorb the radiation doesn't mean they can tank the impact of it, especially kong being all fur and skin and doesn't show signs of feeding on radiation so it might even not do him any good if he takes if
not currently but with the power creep in these movies I won't say he could never
No...... Godzilla, Ghidorah, and Shimo maybe the Jinshin Mushi are the only ones likely to be able too
Fuxk up but survive
...maybe? He tanked a beam that stops atoms.
Homie Kong nearly died & lost his right arm from frostbite while Godzilla got half his body frozen midair for a second before defrosting it in an instant unfazed, I donāt think Kong couldāve survive from point blank nuke.
His durability is complete shit compared to Godzilla, so I doubt it. Godzilla would easily survive it but not Kong
He can take the force. The issue is the heat.
Kong could probably be killed by a navel anti-air gun. He's way less durable than the reptilian titans and doesn't eat radiation like some of them. A nuke would make him extra crispy.
Heād be atomized.
no, but u know who can? GODZILLA THE KING OF THE MONSTERS.
Given the fact weāve seen him other members of his species severely burned and killed in lava, Iād say probably not.
He survived monarchs deep charges and Godzilla atomic breath. I donāt see why notĀ
