The B.E.A.S.T. (Bio Enhanced Anatomech Seismic Thunder) Glove is a gauntlet created by Monarch under the codename Project Powerhouse, and used by Kong in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
The Monarch-built glove is a large, mechanized brace adorned in a vibrant yellow color. It encompasses Kong's right arm, spanning from the elbow to his fingertips. The glove features a swivel ring at the wrist, allowing for rotational movement, and utilizes axle bolts to facilitate bending at the fingers and elbow joints. Additionally, segmented armor runs along the outer forearm to the fingers, while gray components are affixed to the fingertips. A section of the brace on the forearm also contains three injection sites to administer unknown green energy to treat the frostbite in Kong's arm.
Capabilities[]
Mobility assistance: The glove's main design is to assist in Kong's range of mobility in his right arm after being injured.
Force augmentation: The glove is capable of augmenting Kong's punches by releasing electric volts, and is said to be capable of granting him the strength to shatter a meteor. The augmented punches from the glove allows Kong to stagger other Titans such as Godzilla and the Skar King.
Medical injections: The glove is equipped with gigantic hypodermic needles that can treat injuries, which healed Kong's frostbite.
Protection augmentation: The glove allows Kong to shield himself from Godzilla's and Shimo's bites, as well as the Skar King's Whipslash. It also allows Kong to shield himself from Shimo's frost bite blast without suffering its ill effects.
Electricity generation: The glove allows Kong to generate electricity for even more powerful strikes.
After the destruction of Hong Kong, Monarch manages to acquire some parts of Mechagodzilla and start constructing the B.E.A.S.T. Glove under the codename "Project Powerhouse" to build an exoskeleton that could aid Kong in future conflicts. However, funding for the project eventually stopped, and Outpost 1 within Hollow Earth became the facility to store the B.E.A.S.T. Glove.
Upon diagnosing Kong's frostbite, Trapper uses one of Monarch's M.U.L.E. to transport the B.E.A.S.T. Glove to the Iwi settlement. Since then, Kong utilizes the B.E.A.S.T. Glove to battle the Skar King and free the other Great Apes from enslavement.
