## Background

In the year 1954, less than a decade after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States was in the middle of a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union. While testing their newly made Hydrogen Bomb across the Pacific Ocean, one of these bombs woke something up from beneath the waves. That something was Godzilla, a radioactive monster who has both saved and destroyed, Japan more times than can be counted. Known as Gojira in Japan, Godzilla comes from the times of the dinosaurs. He literally eats radiation and has a nuclear-powered heart. On top of that, he is mutated by radiation from the Hydrogen Bomb that woke him up.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Atomic Breath:** Godzilla's most iconic attack is his trademark Atomic Breath. Godzilla's dorsal plates glow ominously, and then he lets loose with a concentrated blast of radiation from his mouth. Its intensity varies from a stream of super-heated vapor to a beam with explosive and kinetic properties. The beam possesses incredible range, amazing power and pin-point accuracy, able to hit and destroy a target in outer space and kill or disable most kaiju with a single shot.
	+ **Super Atomic Breath:** A stronger variation of the Atomic Breath used to kill stronger foes. In difference to the normal one, this one is able to envolve large kaijus such as Destoroyah, Keizer Ghidorah and SpaceGodzilla-Trilopod.
	+ **Dorsal Plate Beams:** Godzilla an redirect his atomic energy to fire numerous purple beams from in between his dorsal plates. These beams are capable of destroying objects hundreds of feet above Godzilla, and are comparable to his Atomic Breath in power.
	+ **Tail Beam:** Godzilla's atomic energy can also be redirected and fired from from a mouth on the vestigial "face" at the end of his tail. Unlike the dorsal plate beams, the tail beam can be fired at the same time as Godzilla's Atomic Breath, allowing him to strike multiple targets at once.
	+ **Final Beam:** A beam of energy that resembles Godzilla's regular Atomic Breath except for the fact it is far more powerful and is purple in color.
	+ **Gorath Buster:** A powered-up version of the Atomic Breath used by Godzilla to destroy Gorath, a massive rogue small star that's said to be 6,200 times denser than the Earth.
	+ **Ring Breath:** Godzilla can fire one or multiple rings around his foes to immobilize them.
	+ **Aura Blast:** Godzilla charges his entire body up, emanating a bright blue light as nuclear energy particles spiral around him, before letting loose with a giant beam ray that quickly expands out wide enough to engulf large kaiju such as King Ghidorah.
	+ **Hell Atomic Breath:** Godzilla's body composed by millions of Demons from Hell, each one emanating a bright blue light as nuclear energy particles, before letting loose with a massive beam that quickly expands out wide enough to engulf large kaiju such as Hell-Gate Guardian.
* **Spiral Heat Ray:** A stronger variation of Godzilla's standard atomic breath introduced in the Heisei series was the spiral heat ray. This version of Godzilla's atomic breath is typically portrayed as much more powerful than his normal atomic breath and is wrapped in an electrical spiral. The first variant of this attack, simply called the Spiral Heat Ray, is used by Godzilla in *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah* to decapitate King Ghidorah's middle head after his normal atomic breath was shown having little to no effect on his enemy.
	+ **Hyper Uranium Heat Ray:** As a result of Godzilla absorbing Fire Rodan's life energy in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, Godzilla gained a more powerful spiral heat ray called the Hyper Uranium Heat Ray. This beam is considerably more powerful than the original spiral breath, with a temperature of one million degrees Celsius, hot enough to burn Godzilla's mouth. The Hyper Uranium Heat Ray is red in color rather than blue, and is powerful enough to overpower Super Mechagodzilla's Mega Buster and subsequently destroy the mech in only a few blasts.
	+ **Burn Spiral Heat Ray:** In *Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla*, Godzilla uses runaway cosmic energy he absorbed after the destruction of SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals to fire a version of the spiral heat ray called the Burn Spiral Heat Ray. This beam only reaches a temperature of 900,000 degrees Celsius but demonstrates even more destructive power than the Hyper Uranium Heat Ray as it completely destroys both SpaceGodzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in three blasts, along with a large portion of Fukuoka.
	+ **Gravitational Atomic Breath:** In *Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack,* Godzilla drew strength from King Ghidorah's gravity beams and used the absorbed energy to fire a blast of blue energy wrapped in a golden spiral that completely destroys his draconic opponent.
	+ **Hyper Spiral Heat Ray:** In *Godzilla: Final Wars*, Godzilla fires a blue Hyper Spiral Heat Ray to strike Gorath as it enters Earth's atmosphere.
	+ **Burning G Spark Heat Ray:** After Shinichi Ozaki infuses him with Keizer energy, he uses the red Burning G Spark Heat Ray to push Keizer Ghidorah to the edge of space, destroying him in an explosion visible from the surface of the Earth.
	+ **Red spiral-Particle Breath:** In the continuity of the Godzilla anime trilogy, Godzilla possesses a more powerful variant of his standard Atomic Breath described as being crimson in color and shaped like a spiral. He uses this beam to destroy the Gorath asteroid as it approaches Earth and to obliterate the Nanometalized Gigan when his regeneration proves too potent for his standard atomic breath.
	+ **Nova Spiral Heat Ray:** A stronger version of the Gorath Buster charged with more radiation due to being orange in color.
	+ **Ultimate Spiral Heat Ray:** The strongest Godzilla attack showed in the Pachinko Trilogy. It is said to be 58 times stronger than all the other attacks. It is red and surrounded by electricity.
* **Super Oscillation Wave:** This attack is a resonance phenomenon caused by Godzilla roaring at an extremely high volume, which is capable of crushing and destroying targets.
* **Plasma Cutter:** Godzilla swings his tail, sending a blast of pure destruction towards enemies.
* **Nuclear Pulse:** Godzilla can emit atomic energy in all directions from every inch of his body in a short-range pulse.
* **Energy Absorption and Manipulation:** Ever since the original film, Godzilla has been capable of absorbing huge amounts of energy, often nuclear in nature. This also explained various feats that he can do such as Atomic Breath, Nuclear Pulse, ferrokinesis, and energize his blows for more destructive effect. As a result of being irradiated by a hydrogen bomb explosion, Godzilla's body absorbed a tremendous amount of nuclear energy so much that his physiology enhanced to the point that he becamesa walking nuclear reactor, gaining the ability to emit high levels of radiation and fire his signature Atomic Breath. Godzilla can also absorb natural geothermal radiation on Earth when radiation was ten times more than today prior to resorting to consuming the same energy on Earth's core.
* **Ferrokinesis:** In *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla*, Godzilla found a way to generate powerful magnetic fields from his body after being struck several times by lightning, which proved devastating against his metallic foe. This is the only time Godzilla ever used this power.
* **Immense Strength:** As attributed to his size, weight, and mass, Godzilla has displayed varied levels of physical strength sufficient to lift weights exceeding 20,000 tons and smash skyscrapers. He has been depicted lifting and throwing monsters in excess of his own weight, such as King Ghidorah, Hedorah, Mechagodzilla, and others including Biollante, and in *Godzilla: Final Wars*, he was even able to throw Kumonga clear over the horizon.
* **Durability:** Godzilla has displayed an uncanny ability to sustain damage throughout his films. Starting in the first Godzilla film, Godzilla displayed an immunity to conventional weaponry, virtually impervious to everything the JSDF threw at him. He has demonstrated the ability to survive complete submersion in magma for an extended period of time, sometimes while under extreme pressure from tectonic plates. He has even survived being in ground zero of asteroid impacts. The only times his flesh has been visibly pierced were in a battle with the Super X, Gigan, Biollante, King Ghidorah, Destoroyah, Mechagodzilla's weapons in the Showa, Heisei, and Millennium series, and in a lesser extent, by M.O.P. bombs in *Shin Godzilla*.
* **Regeneration:** In addition to being extremely resistant to damage, Godzilla possesses an extremely advanced and highly efficient regenerative ability. *Godzilla 2000: Millennium*, it is explained that Godzilla's regenerative abilities may have something to do with his radioactive properties, and Regenerator G-1 is the name given to a substance in his cells that is responsible for Godzilla's swift healing. In *Shin Godzilla*, Godzilla's healing factor is so potent that pieces of his flesh that are broken off from his body can continue to live on their own and evolve and regenerate into entire creatures in the same manner with starfishes. In *Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters*, Godzilla's multi-layered, physaliformed skin enables him to regenerate new skins near instantly, even if the older skin is incinerated or becomes plasma due to several hundred, or even several thousand nuclear bombings, making Godzilla essentially immune to human weapons.
* **Amphibiousness:** Though technically a reptile and not an amphibian, Godzilla has an amphibious lifestyle. He spends half of his life in water and the other on land. He is as adept a fighter underwater as he is on land. Capable of marching on the seafloor or swimming by undulating his tail like a crocodile, Godzilla is displayed as being able to breathe underwater, occasionally hibernating in the ocean depths between movies, and being submerged apparently does not impede his Atomic Breath, as seen in *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah*. He engages opponents in the sea on multiple occasions, fighting King Ghidorah, Ebirah, Battra, Biollante and Mothra either beneath or on the surface of the waves.
* **Flight:** Among the awesome abilities that Godzilla has, there's one that is admittedly silly. So silly, it's kind of cool. If he needs to move somewhere fast, he turns away from where he is going, bends over, and breathes a large gust of nuclear breath that propels him forward. It. Is. Hilarious.
* **Laser Vision:** In Hanna-Barbera's Godzilla, Godzilla could shoot red laser beams out of his eyes.
* **Fire Breath:** Godzilla can also breathe actual fire or shoot fireballs from his maw.
* **Rage Power:** Godzilla can enter this state in order to protect his own life, he becomes stronger as long as his rage lasts by drawing upon an inner strength, tap hidden resources.
* **Martial Arts:** Godzilla somehow possesses knowledge of martial arts, judo and boxing. Allowing him to pull off epic drop kicks.
* **Self-Mutation:** In *Shin Godzilla*, Godzilla can mutate his DNA at will to adapt to any situation.
* **Extrasensory Perception:** According to an American scientist, Godzilla in *Shin Godzilla* possesses a "phased-array radar" which allows him to detect threats without even needing to see them.
* **Intelligence:** It tends to vary from time to time, but Godzilla is generally depicted as a thinking creature, sometimes able to communicate to other monsters and formulate plans.

## Alternate Forms

### Burning Godzilla

Godzilla obtained this form after absorbing a substantial amount of radiation, causing the nuclear fission in his heart to go out of control. In this state, his power massively increases along with his core temperature. If left unchecked, Godzilla could begin to meltdown when his core temperature reaches 1200 degrees Celsius, which would cause him to burn into the Earth's core and destroy the planet, or alternatively, if his power increases to a high enough point, he will explode, igniting the atmosphere and vaporizing the Earth. This form returns in *Godzilla: King of the Monsters* when Godzilla absorbs the radiation of a nuclear warhead and Mothra’s life force.

* **Burning Heat Ray:** Godzilla's standard atomic breath is permanently replaced by a red beam called the Burning Heat Ray. He uses this beam to devastate Hong Kong, and also utilizes it in battle with the Super X3, with Sho Kuroki even remarking that it is stronger than his normal atomic breath.
* **Infinite Heat Ray:** Once Burning Godzilla begins to enter meltdown, he begins using the Infinite Heat Ray. This beam is said to increase infinitely in power each time Burning Godzilla uses it, and is capable of blasting off part of the frill on Destoroyah's head and severely wounding his shoulder while setting the entire surrounding area ablaze, forcing Destoroyah to try and retreat.
* **Energy Transfer:** Burning Godzilla can pour his energy into other kaiju as he melts down. He was able to revive his son Godzilla Jr. by transferring his nuclear energy into him in his final moments.
* **Thermonuclear Pulse:** Burning Godzilla can unleash blasts of thermonuclear energy that can seemingly burn almost anything. Godzilla took King Ghidorah down with three pulses in a row, two of which burned off Ghidorah's wings and two of his heads.
* **Thermonuclear Aura:** Godzilla is so superheated in this state that he can melt buildings in flames just by being close to them.

### Super Godzilla

A more powerful form of Godzilla that is achieved when the King of the Monsters collects three special energy capsules marked "S" in the video game *Super Godzilla*. Becomes 2,000 times faster, stronger and durable. All of Super Godzilla's attacks are more powerful than normal Godzilla's. He has more health than normal Godzilla and doesn't take damage from attacks from non-bosses and loses no health when he destroys a building. In addition, as Super Godzilla the damage that boss attacks do is roughly cut in half.

* **Energy Tail:** Super Godzilla has an Energy Tail attack that has Super Godzilla's energy channeled into his tail, and then launched toward the opponent.
* **Explosive Shoulder Ram:** Super Godzilla can use an Explosive Shoulder Ram to ram into his opponent with broadened shoulders. The enemy then explodes temporarily.
* **Nova Breath:** Super Godzilla possesses a powered-up version of the Atomic Breath called the Nova Breath that is orange-yellow in color.
* **Navel Blast:** Super Godzilla's Navel Blast is his most powerful attack. His Navel core shines as energy swirls around the tip of the navel. Finally, Super Godzilla unleashes a blast from its navel that swirls until the tip of the beam morphs into the head of Super Godzilla and continues to blaze through until it hits the opponent.
* **Super Punch:** Super Godzilla's punch move is significantly empowered compared to the version of the attack used by his normal form; Super Godzilla lunges forward, his arm covered in blue fire, and strikes the opponent.

### Godz-EVA 13

Basically a cross between Godzilla and an Evangelion mech.

* **A.T. (Absolute Terror) Field:** A nearly impenetrable force-field barrier which Angels and Evangelions can generate. Conventional weapons are effectively useless in penetrating an A.T. Field; the only thing that do so is another A.T. Field, such as those created by the Evangelions.
* **Anti A.T. Field:** A type of energy that S² Engines are capable of producing which neutralizes existing A.T. Fields. The result is that individual A.T. Fields - the light of the soul, barrier of the heart, the "ego" - collapse, and the soul is freed from the body. This results in the individual's body reverting back to its original form of LCL. This happens because a body cannot maintain its shape without an A.T. Field. It is powerful enough to exterminate all local life, including microorganisms, as well as neutralizes all existing A.T. Fields on Earth.

### Divine Form

Possibly Godzilla's most powerful form to date, Heavenly Godzilla is obtained when Godzilla's body becomes surrounded by a divine aura that comes directly from the holy energy of God.

* **Heavenly Spiral Ray:** Godzilla's most powerful attack in the entire franchise to date, enough to possibly destroy the Heaven dimension.

### Fusion Godzilla

Obtained when Godzilla absorbs the life-forces of 13 kaiju at the same time. This form possesses a more powerful version of Godzilla's atomic ray which is red in color.

### Tyrant

After destroying or absorbing energy from every one of SpaceGodzilla's crystals, Godzilla will go into Critical Mass form. This will cause Godzilla's body to be bathed in flames before they increase in size and a charcoal red design covers their exterior. While in this form, Godzilla's damage and knock back abilities will be increased, although at the cost of reduced defenses.

* Roland Emmerich.

## Fun Facts

* Starring in over 30 films, Godzilla has appeared in more films than any other kaiju to date.
* Although Godzilla's first film appearance was in *Godzilla*, released on November 3, 1954, his media debut was in July 1954, in the form of an 11-part radio drama based on an early version of the film's script.
* Godzilla had a rap song named after him by Eminem on his album *Music to Be Murdered By*.
* The characteristic blue glow which precedes Godzilla firing his atomic breath can possibly be attributed to the real-world Cherenkov radiation, a blue 'aura' which is given off by the effects of highly active and supercritical radioactive material. This is pointed out in *King Kong vs. Godzilla* when a scientist notices a radioactive aura being given off by the iceberg Godzilla is trapped in, and states that it is the result of Cherenkov radiation.
* Godzilla and Batman were planned to have a crossover in 1965-1966. The crossover was scrapped as the writers couldn't conceive of a reasonable scenario where Batman could fight Godzilla.
