## Summary

**Godzilla** is an ancient alpha-predator that thrived during the Permian Period. After the Permian extinction, radiation levels declined and Godzilla retreated into the depths of the sea to live closer to Earth's core to subsist on the planet's natural geothermal radiation. Here he remained dormant for hundreds of millions of years, only surfacing on a few rare occasions in early human history and subsequently inspiring the mythologies of several cultures. Godzilla was awakened in 1954 by American and Soviet nuclear submarines reaching into the lower depths of the South Pacific Ocean, with his attacks on them leading each nation to suspect the other of being responsible for their destruction. When Godzilla's existence finally became known, the American military attempted to kill him under the pretext of testing nuclear weapons, however, these attempts failed and Godzilla once again vanished into the ocean for another 60 years. In 2014, Godzilla detected the mating calls of the M.U.T.O.s and followed them. After engaging the creatures in Honolulu and San Francisco, with some assistance from the US military, Godzilla finally succeeded in defeating them and returned to the ocean's depths. After subsequently slaying the M.U.T.O.s' mother, MUTO Prime, Godzilla vanished into the depths of the ocean for five years, though Monarch kept tabs on him. When a group of eco-terrorists awakened King Ghidorah from his icy tomb in Antarctica, Godzilla confronted the three-headed Titan. King Ghidorah escaped their first battle, but Godzilla tracked him down to the waters off of Mexico and nearly defeated him in an underwater clash before being interrupted by the military's Oxygen Destroyer. Godzilla retreated to his underwater lair to heal, but his rejuvenation was accelerated by the sacrifice of Dr. Ishiro Serizawa, who set off a thermonuclear warhead in his vicinity. Godzilla made his way to Boston for a final battle with Ghidorah, and with the intervention of Mothra was finally able to triumph. The surviving Titans who had been following Ghidorah congregated around Godzilla and submitted to him, accepting him as the King of the Monsters.

Same as before, plus highly enhanced Extrasensory Perception

**Attack Potency:** **Multi-Continent Level** (Superior to King Ghidorah and defeated him in ancient times. Stomped the MUTOs and one-shot Shinomura, while weakened. Contended against MUTO Prime and stated to be more powerful. Provoked a tsunami by coming ashore. While starving, he overpowered Amhuluk with a backhand, easily defeated Scylla and fought on par with Tiamat. Opened a tunnel to the Hollow Earth with its atomic breath. Clashed against Kong, while holding back. Would not be overpowered by Mechagodzilla's Proton Scream at full power and could have defeated him when fresh. Exterminated nearly all of Kong's species), **higher** with Energy Absorption | At least **Multi-Continent Level**, likely **higher** (After reaching critical mass and absorbing Mothra's life force, he emitted an omnidirectional pulse, which incinerated King Ghidorah, who himself was supercharged)

**Speed:** At least **Subsonic+** travel speed (Quickly ran across several city blocks in Boston. Mauled Kong at high speeds on all fours). **High Hypersonic+** combat, reaction and attack speed (Can whip his tail faster than the speed of sound. Matched King Ghidorah. His Atomic Breath is this fast)

**Lifting Strength:** **Class T** (Tore Genitor's spine out while heavily weakened. Threw Kong around and overpowered him. Flipped a cargo ship. Much stronger than the MUTOs and casually tossed, carried and shoved them around), **higher** when supercharged (Ragdolled King Ghidorah) | At least **Class T** (Vastly stronger than before)

**Striking Strength:** **Multi-Continent Level**, **higher** with Energy Absorption | At least **Multi-Continent Level**, likely **higher**

**Durability:** **Multi-Continent Level** (Tanked an asteroid which caused the Permian Extinction event. Took MUTO Prime's earthquake punch. Withstood attacks from King Ghidorah. Endured a beating from Mechagodzilla at half capacity. While mortally overcharged and strangled, he took a fall from the high stratosphere), **higher** with Energy Absorption | At least **Multi-Continent Level**, likely **higher** (No-sold an amped King Ghidorah's gravity beams)

**Stamina:** Superhuman (Kept the titans in check for years under starvation. Swam from the Havane sea to the Bermuda without oxygen in his body. Can fight multiples titans in succession without tiring out. Stated that he was able to keep up for days. Godzilla and Kong started to fight at sunset and finished at dawn, meaning they fought for 12 hours)

**Range:** Hundred of meters. Thousands of kilometres with Atomic Breath | Kilometres with nuclear pulses

**Standard Equipment:** None

**Intelligence:** Below Average (Has demonstrated learning and strategy during battles. Memorised the planet's most radioactive spots. Saved time by swimming through the holes in the Earth, which even Monarch's most intelligent scientists didn't consider. Trained himself to get bigger and stronger. Remember Serisawa's face years after his death. Recognised that he could power Kong's axe with his Atomic Breath, and did so to help Kong destroy Mechagodzilla. Possess millions years of experience)

**Weaknesses:** Gills are soft and fragile compare to the rest of body as he was shown to recoil when they were targeted by missiles | Once supercharged, Godzilla would have ended up succumbing to the overload if not for Mothra giving him her life force

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Atomic Breath:** Godzilla's atomic breath is a focused, fiery-shaped energy beam that he spews from his mouth. The blasts were strong enough to push, severely weaken and eventually kill the female MUTO. The film's novelisation and an earlier screenplay suggest that the female MUTO's EMP field interferes with his atomic breath, though this is never referenced or alluded to in the film itself. The neon-blue glow on Godzilla's dorsal fins begins at the tail and goes all the way to the top of his neck in this film. In *Godzilla: King of the Monsters*, the bluish glow is also visible in his eyes and between his gills.
* **Death Kiss:** Godzilla finally kills the female MUTO by grabbing her from behind when she is distracted and prying her jaws apart so he can fire his atomic breath down her throat.
* **Power Bite:** Godzilla possesses a powerful bite made to hold the enemy.
* **Tail Hit:** Godzilla's tail is also a formidable weapon, shown when he uses it to smash the male MUTO into a skyscraper when it tries to attack him from behind, impaling it on the building and killing it instantly.
* **Claws Slash:** In one of his battles with MUTO Prime, Godzilla manages to force the creature off of him by slashing it in the head with his claws, visibly drawing blood.
* **Radiation Stream:** Godzilla possesses a variation of the character's nuclear pulse ability, which he uses in his final confrontation with MUTO Prime. Once MUTO Prime is stunned by the ORCA, Godzilla lifts it onto his back and fires a concentrated shockwave of atomic energy from his shattered dorsal plates. This pulse launches MUTO Prime into the air and renders it helpless enough for Godzilla to finish it off by crushing its head.
* **Planetary Extrasensory Perception:** The narration in Godzilla Dominion states that Godzilla views the world's oceans as "an extension of himself"; he quickly becomes aware of any disturbances or imbalances and reacts accordingly. Following Mothra's sacrific, he discovered that this ability now extended to the entire planet, Godzilla has permanently gained a heightened awareness of the tectonic and atmospheric interactions of the planet as well as the Earth's early geothermal history. As Godzilla unlocked his newly heightened senses, a parting gift from Mothra following her sacrifice, he saw a glowing vision of her in the sky.
* **Nuclear Pulse:** After absorbing the radiation of a nuclear warhead and Mothra's life force, Godzilla began to glow red and unleashed incredibly powerful thermonuclear pulses that incinerated Ghidorah and a large portion of Boston with him. This ability is based on Godzilla releasing excess energy; he cannot maintain this state without suffering a grievous injury.
