Based on the studies of Carl Nelson, Mechani-Kong
was created in the likeness of the legendary ape
King Kong. Although Nelson designed the blue prints
for the mechanical beast, his interest in the field
of animal studies prevented him from ever turning
his idea into reality. The international Judas
Dr. Who, on the other hand, foresaw a powerful
new tool in Nelson's designs, and quickly set out
to construct the machine for his own purposes.
After construction, Mechani-Kong was first deployed
in the North Pole, on an assignment to mine Element
X, a powerful new element used in the creation
of weapons of mass destruction. However, the effects
of Element X were more potent than even Dr. Who
realized, as the powerful substance shorts out
his robot while being unearthed from its icy confinement.
Adjusting his plans, Dr. Who instead captures King
Kong and, while the creature is under his mind
control, sends the ape into the icy depths to unearth
the needed elements. Again, Dr. Who miscalculates
the effects of Element X, as they short out his
mind control device, causing the giant ape to run
loose in his underground lair. The ape bursts through
rock and ice, and emerges back on the surface.
Dr. Who quickly deploys Mechani-Kong to try and
cut off King Kong's escape, but the robot monster
is too late. Kong has already begun his swim away
from Dr. Who's hideout by the time Mechani-Kong
arrives near his position.
Unmoved by this recent string of failures, Dr.
Who sends out his robot to hunt down Kong. Locating
the monster in the heart of Tokyo, Mechani-Kong
is sent into action. Kong clashes with his mechanical
double, but Mechani-Kong gains the upper hand through
the use of his hypnotic light. However, Jiro Nomura
shoots the light atop Mechani-Kong's head, disabling
the weapon and giving Kong the edge in the fight.
Dr. Who, surveying the options, orders his robot
to ignore Kong and capture Susan Watson, a nearby
girl for which Kong has taken a liking to. The
robotic Kong quickly obeys, grasping the girl in
his metallic hand as he rushes off to climb Tokyo
Tower. Kong gives chase, and the two behemoths
continue their fight while scaling Tokyo Tower.
The confrontation is cut short, however, when Ms.
Piranha unplugs the Mechani-Kong controller, causing
the robot to loosen his grip as the tower snaps
in half, sending the robot plummeting to the Earth,
shattering it into several pieces upon contact.
