Goliath

Goliath is the main protagonist of the Gargoyles series. He appeared in the 47th episode of Death Battle, Beast VS Goliath, where he fought against Beast from Marvel Comics.
==History==
In the year 994 A.D., a clan of gargoyle warriors led by their leader, Goliath, formed a partnership with a Scottish kingdom. They would protect the castle from invaders at night, and the humans would protect them during the day since gargoyles turn to stone at sunrise. Unfortunately, they faced prejudice against the humans due to their beastly appearance, and were betrayed by the humans they swore to protect. Most of Goliath's clan was destroyed, and he and the rest that survived were placed under a curse that sealed them in stone forever, unless a specific condition could be met: when Castle Wyvern soars above the clouds. A millennium later in 1994, businessman David Xanatos had all the stones and foundation of the castle moved from Scotland and on top of his skyscraper in New York City that, as fate would have it, poked above the clouds. With that, the curse was broken, awakening Goliath and his clan once more, as they now protect their new home from the shadows, as there may be hope for humanity yet.
