## TITAN PROFILE

"*Nature has an order. A power to restore balance. I believe **he** is that power.*"
―Ishiro Serizawa[src]
**Godzilla**, also known as **Gojira**, is a giant reptilian titan who currently holds the title of the King of the Monsters. He is one of the benevolent alpha titans. He is a member of the gojira species and was born 280 million years during the Permian period. During the age of antiquity, he burrowed deep underground in the Earth to hibernate, eventually waking up in 1945 when the atomic bomb was detonated in Hiroshima.

Subsequently, he began to hunt and chase a winged titan that awoke around the same time he did. Eventually, in 1954, both of them were lured to the Marshall Islands by the US Military and a nuclear bomb was detonated near them. The winged titan was eradicated by the blast, but Godzilla continued his journey to the oceans. The event was known as Castle Bravo under the guise of nuclear testing.

He is one of the main subjects of the Titan Revelation in 2014, having hunted two parasitic MUTOs to prevent them from reproducing.

## History

### Reawakening

#### Castle Bravo Nuclear "Test"

The American military began detonating a series of nuclear bombs to try and kill the two clashing monsters, under the guise of nuclear testing. On March 1st, 1954, Godzilla and Shinomura were lured ashore at Bikini Atoll, where the military detonated their first-ever dry-fuel hydrogen bomb, code named *Castle Bravo*, in an attempt to kill them both.

Shinomura was vaporized by the explosion, but Godzilla survived and vanished soon after, and the United States covers up all evidence of their existence.

### Titan Revelation

In 2014, Godzilla detected the mating call of a parasitic MUTO, a prehistoric lifeform that lived during his era and killed members of his species and laid its eggs in their corpses, believing their call to be a threat. He goes to Oahu, creating a tsunami before arriving at the Honolulu Airport where he confronts the HokMUTO for the first time. He clashes with the MUTO, and after a brief battle, presumably kills it and leaves. The United States military believes Godzilla to just as big of a threat as the MUTO, although Serizawa states that Godzilla is present to hunt the MUTOs and that he should be allowed to do so. After a second MUTO, a larger female one appears in Las Vegas, the military forms a plan to lure both the MUTOs and Godzilla to a remote island and kill them with a nuclear warhead several times more powerful than the hydrogen bomb Castle Bravo.

#### Battle of San Francisco

Godzilla emerged from the San Francisco Bay, surfacing near the Golden Gate Bridge. Soldiers were deployed onto the bridge and opened fire on Godzilla while civilians were attempting to cross it. Godzilla withstood the artillery fire until a blast hit him in the gills, causing him to smash into the bridge and split it in half. Godzilla roared and continued to approach the city, where the MUTOs had constructed their nest.

When Godzilla entered downtown San Francisco, the HokMUTO, who turned out to be alive and in a new form, attacks him while the female one lays her eggs using the warhead. Godzilla finally reached the nest and confronts the female MUTO, who charged at Godzilla and attacked him. Soon, the male re-entered the battle and both MUTOs double-teamed Godzilla. Distracted by an explosion at the nest, the female MUTO leaves the fight to go check on her eggs just to find them all destroyed, wailing in pain, she notices Ford Maddox who destroyed the nest. Before she could kill Brody, Godzilla charges up his atomic breath and releases it on her. The male flew behind Godzilla and pulled him out of the way, allowing the female to chase after the soldiers. As the male flew behind Godzilla to try and grab him again, Godzilla swung his tail at him, killing the MUTO by impaling him on a skyscraper. Godzilla stopped to catch his breath, only for the skyscraper to collapse onto him and bury him in debris and rubble. As Godzilla laid on the ground, he briefly stares down at Ford before being consumed by smoke.

The female MUTO then chases down Brody to the docks before Godzilla suddenly came up behind her, pulling her away and prying open her jaws, and brutally killing her by firing his atomic breath down her throat until her neck blew open and her head tore off. After doing so, he roared into the sky before dropping her head and collapsing to the ground again due to exhaustion. The next morning, San Francisco was in ruins, while military and emergency personnel surrounded Godzilla's unconscious body. Serizawa and his assistant Vivienne Graham looked sadly at Godzilla, believing him to be dead. Suddenly, Godzilla's eye opened and he began to stir. Godzilla stood up and began walking back out to the ocean as he is crowned the saviour of the city. Godzilla let out one last roar before diving back into the sea and disappearing beneath the waves.
