### Sound Effect(s)

Example

**Godzilla**, also dubbed "**Titanus Gojira**", is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *HCoW's* *Verse Hunter* series created by Matt Allsopp and Paul Anderson. He is an ancient, colossal, reptilian-like Titan beast from another dimension.

He is an apex predator, the current omega Titan, one of the oldest Titans known to this very day and one of the most powerful and strongest creatures on Earth. For this, he is recognized as the "**King of the Monsters**" among the Titans.

He is the last known member of gigantic amphibious reptilian-like species that first came to Earth when it was being bombarded by radiation during the Permian period. His kind's existence was kept top secretive by Monarch since 1954.

Godzilla hails from a time in Earth's past where its surface radiation levels were considerably higher, Godzilla retreated deep underwater to feed on the planet's natural geothermal radiation when soon the surface's radiation levels decreased.

He occasionally surfaced throughout history, inspiring some of humanity's mythology. In 1954, the military found out about him, and tried to cover up with nuclear strikes, reported as tests - but failed to have any effect on Godzilla.

In the 20th century, the advent of the nuclear age drew both Godzilla and Shinomura to the surface, the two clashing monsters in the South Pacific would attract the attention of the American military, who had wanted them dead.

They carried out a campaign of nuclear strikes against them under the guise of another nuclear testing. While Shinomura was been vaporized by the blast of the Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb, Godzilla survived and submerged to the sea.

He serves as protector of the Earth's ecosystem against dangerous threats that threaten him & his kind and makes sure it is all under control by forcing other Titans to submit to him and killing the more destructive Titans that had refuse to.

He eventually re-emerged in 2014, when parasitic creatures from his time period dubbed M.U.T.O.s were unleashed and prepared to begin reproducing, having a score to settle with the two M.U.T.O.s as well as their parent, Queen M.U.T.O.

Godzilla hunted them down from San Francisco up to Manhattan, where he engaged in a protracted battle that soon ended in victory. Godzilla recured to the ocean's depths and disappeared for 5 years, though Monarch had kept tabs on him.

In 2019, the humans find him at the bottom of the ocean wanting to be left alone... until when a group of eco-terrorists awakened his greatest ancient nemesis, Ghidorah from his icy tomb in Antarctica, Godzilla engaged this 3-headed Titan.

The newly awakened Ghidorah escaped their first battle, but then Godzilla tracked him down to the waters off of Mexico and nearly defeated him in an underwater clash before being interrupted by the U.S. military's Oxygen Destroyer.

Godzilla retreated to his underwater lair to heal, but his recovery was accelerated by the sacrifice of Dr. Serizawa, who set off a thermonuclear warhead in his vicinity. Godzilla made his way to Boston for a final fight with Ghidorah.

Thanks, with the intervention of Mothra, Godzilla was finally able to triumph. The surviving Titans who had been following Ghidorah congregated around Godzilla and submitted to him, thus accepting him as the true King of the Monsters.

In the time after Ghidorah's defeat, Godzilla worked to maintain balance among the newly-awakened Titans. He fought Scylla when she battled the U.S. Coast Guard over a nuclear warhead, drove Amhuluk from Behemoth's territory.

From there, Godzilla rescued Na Kika from being captured by humans, and battled Tiamat before finding a new lair in the Hollow Earth. Before he himself could rest again, Godzilla set out to return the other Titans to their ancient rest.

5 years later, Godzilla sensed Apex's construction with an alien race of an artificial Anti-Titan weapon meant to overthrowing him, and began attacking the company's facilities, with humanity assuming in fear he had betrayed against them.

But they fail to see forces beyond control also saw him throwing down with rival Titan. When Godzilla intercepted a Naval fleet transporting him in the sea, the battle was broken up by depth charges before he could drown Kong.

Godzilla left the scene after the remains of the fleet "played dead" by shutting down their power and he no longer deemed Kong a threat. Godzilla headed to Hong Kong after he sensed that Mechagodzilla was being all activated.

He then drilled a hole into the Hollow Earth with his atomic breath, causing Kong to retaliate for a rematch. After a brutal battle, Godzilla defeated Kong before taking on the recently unleashed duplicate, but was soon overwhelmed.

Before Mechagodzilla could finish him, Kong saved Godzilla and the 2 Titans worked together to destroy it. After an alien invasion was thwarted, Godzilla & Kong ended their war and went their own ways, with Godzilla returning to the oceans.

"*Gojira may be the answer. I believe he's here to restore balance. He can defeat them.*"

—Dr. Ishiro Serizawa describing Godzilla.

## Background

"*Now grown to almost 400-feet tall, Godzilla stands as king of all he surveys. Initially thought to be a threat, we now understand his potential to become our world's ultimate guardian, a towering apex predator emerging from the mysterious depths of the ocean to battle aggressors that threaten the balance of nature.

The creature designated Titanus Gojira draws its immense power from a bio-nuclear circulatory system that activates when threatened, triggering a neutron flux that travels up its shard-like backspines to nucleosynthetic throat chambers where it explodes into a directed wave of atomic breath. Through this remarkable process, Godzilla's roar itself becomes nature's most devastating weapon.

The Monarch facility designated 'Castle Bravo' was built specifically as a flagship underwater observation base by Monarch to study Godzilla in his natural habitat. Our findings so far have been hard-earned but revelatory. Sub-aquatic audio captures suggest the creature utilizes a range of communication frequencies more complex than anything we had imagined. When not enraged into action, the creature is slow, graceful, inquisitive even.

His size and radioactive signature make him easy to monitor, with scans showing him traveling through various oceanic channels on routine patrol routes propelled by his massive tail. There are sporadic gaps where his signature disappears from tracking logs, and analytics is working closely with our mythography team to determine the cause. Dr. Brooks' 'Hollow Earth' theory is gaining more traction because of this finding and is currently leading the ongoing investigation. It is possible that the epicenter of these sightings is proximal to a previously undiscovered vile vortex.*"

—Dr. Vivienne Graham describing Godzilla.
For Godzilla's return, the King of the Monsters was given a radically new origin story that deviates from the previously established origin of him being mutated by the hydrogen bomb: in *Godzilla*, Godzilla is explained by Monarch to be an ancient, radiovorous apex predator from the Permian period.

As the planet's natural surface-based radiation began to decrease, Godzilla adapted to survive by diving deep into the ocean and consuming the planet's natural geothermal radiation in a hibernation-like state from its molten core. *Godzilla vs. Kong* meanwhile indicates that Godzilla's bio-atomic biology and abilities are derived directly from the Hollow's potent blue energized mineral which the *Titanus Kong* built their temple among.

Godzilla's species, *Titanus Gojira*, evolved during the Permian period millions of years ago. Though powerful and numerous, they were decimated by the MUTOs, a species of parasitic Titans that prey almost exclusively on them. It's apparent that in the ancient past, Godzilla's kind engaged in direct warfare against the *Titanus Kong* members, Kong's species, in the Hollow Earth. The war resulted in the remaining *Titanus Kong* members being driven out of the Hollow Earth and migrating to Skull Island.

Other members of Godzilla's kind are known to have existed throughout time at different points. Two individuals were killed at different times in "vastly different epochs" which preceded MUTO-caused extinction events by a MUTO Prime, with one of the *Titanus Gojira* skeletons being found in Siberia while the other, named Dagon (who was infected by the MUTO Prime circa 11000 BCE), was found in the Philippines. Godzilla himself appears to be the last living member of his species by the series' events.

Godzilla was theorized by Ishiro Serizawa to have been the alpha predator of his ecosystem and prevented other Titan species from overpopulating and overrunning the world, acting as a force of nature that maintained balance. When Ghidorah arrived on Earth, he quickly established himself as a rival alpha to Godzilla. Godzilla and Ghidorah battled each other several times before they took their fight to Antarctica, which resulted in Ghidorah being buried in ice and Godzilla's victory.

Godzilla also shares a symbiotic relationship with Mothra, who aided him in his original conflict against Ghidorah according to ancient hieroglyphs. Godzilla was originally worshipped by an advanced prehistoric human civilization, who built a vast underground city which is decorated with monuments and murals of Godzilla, one of which records his and Mothra's ancient conflict with Ghidorah.

In the present day, the civilization is long gone, implicitly due to the cataclysmic human-Titan war which triggered the Last Ice Age and forced most of the surviving Titans into hibernation; but Godzilla still makes his primary home and refuge in their abandoned city, which is now almost-completely submerged underwater in the Hollow Earth save for a geothermally-active and severely-irradiated large air pocket where Godzilla can feed and replenish himself.

## Personality

"*The top of the primordial ecosystem. A god, for all intents and purposes.*"

—Dr. Vivienne Graham describing Godzilla.
In 2014, Godzilla's behavior is that of a territorial animal, Ishiro Serizawa theorized that Godzilla is the driving force to restore balance to nature whenever that balance is disrupted, suggesting that he essentially considers the entire Earth to be his territory.

However, Godzilla doesn't blatantly attack or plow through ships at sea simply because they're there, in fact, with larger ships like aircraft carriers, he simply dives under them, even when the military launched a combined forces assault to stop him, he didn't react or fight back, and simply continued to hunt the MUTOs, even when he was being flanked by four naval ships.

As opposed to any sort of morality, it appears to be that he simply considers humans to be tiny and insignificant and does not care about their general well-being but at the same time does not consider them worth destroying even though they, without harming him at all, fire at him nonstop..

Godzilla does not seem to destroy on purpose, even when he destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, it did not appear to be intentional, but just him reacting from being hit in the gills by explosives. He displays little interest in humans and focuses his attention entirely on the MUTOs. His supposed disinterest in the well-being of humans may be caused by their repeated attempts to kill him, the same attempt that showcased their destructive capabilities. After defeating both MUTOs, he leaves humans alone without any more conflict.

However, Godzilla does occasionally display signs of advanced thinking, as he is seen adapting his strategies to fight the MUTOs and even uses sleight-of-hand to trick the male MUTO into approaching his tail, which he uses to impale him on a fallen skyscraper. He appears to possess some degree of emotion as he briefly looks Ford Brody in the eye when he collapses to his level, which also could suggest that he has at least some degree of interest in humans.

Godzilla was designed to have a personality that would evoke the "last samurai" archetype, an ancient warrior content with solitude and preferring not to be a part of the world but has to resurface when certain types of events force him to appear and set things right. Although Godzilla perceives the M.U.T.O.s as his natural enemies and deadly pests through his experiences with the M.U.T.O. couple and the Queen M.U.T.O., he allows the M.U.T.O. Prime to live since it is able to acknowledge him as its omega.

Godzilla's most notable relationships with other Titans are with M.U.T.O.s, Mothra, Ghidorah, and Kong. With Mothra, they are true allies, more so than their past incarnations that were prone to be at odds with each other since their species have symbiotic relationships with one another. Mothra's undying loyalty towards Godzilla is best demonstrated when she assists him in their fight against Ghidorah and Rodan, using her webs to glue Ghidorah onto a skyscraper, and incapacitating Rodan after he fought her.

Their ancient alliance had been defined in romantic terms, with Dr. Ilene Chen calling Mothra "Queen of the Monsters" and Chief Warrant Officer Jackson Barnes questioning if "they got a thing going on", though subsequently Dr. Sam Coleman clarifying it as a "symbiotic relationship". As she died, Godzilla roared in grief while he absorbed her life-force, allowing him to go thermonuclear and vaporized Ghidorah. Following the battle, Godzilla had not forgotten Mothra's sacrifice, and her gift of life led him to find a new home.

Lastly, in the case of Ghidorah and Kong, the two are Godzilla's fierce rivals as shown in various cave paintings where he is depicted fighting alternatively with one of them for different reasons; whereas with the former, their feud could be best described as the battle between light and darkness owing to the extraterrestrial Titan's malicious nature and desire to lay waste upon Earth, Godzilla and Kong battled each other because of their species' long-standing rivalry, but the two nevertheless willing to put aside their difference in facing a common threat.

After defeating Mechagodzilla together, the two make amends to each other and went on separate ways on better terms. When Godzilla becomes the omegaa once more after defeating Ghidorah, he does not attack the other Titans who followed Ghidorah and instead spares them when they swear their allegiance to him again. During his rule, Godzilla works to keep his fellow Titans from causing chaos and submit some who defy him, like Scylla and Tiamat.

He also starts to care for the well-being of the human race and seeks the balance between both kinds, as evidenced by a clipping in the end credits mentioning that Godzilla is keeping the other Titans from attacking major human settlements. However, he also attacked some Titan traffickers that were trying to capture Na Kika. Ultimately, he sends all the Titans to hibernation, sensing that Ghidorah’s influence is still present, as to obviate a recurrence of the latter’s actions.

In *Monster Wars*, Godzilla is shown to possess the capacity to become aggressive and violent towards anyone or thing if he is provoked (regardless of species), something Madison Russell acknowledged as it was not his nature to wreak havoc upon human settlements without cause or reason. He wreaked havoc upon Apex Cybernetics' facilities upon sensing that its human occupants were hiding what he sensed to be an alpha that was challenging him (the new ORCA was making alpha calls) that Godzilla calls the Hidden One.

Godzilla eventually faces the one he calls "the Hidden One" in the form of the destructive, out-of-control Mechagodzilla⁠ — controlled by the aliens and influenced by Ghidorah's consciousness grafted into its systems ⁠— and would've continued what the extraterrestrial Titan started had he and Kong failed to stop it.

Godzilla's mission to eliminate the threat came into the conflict of Kong who⁠ - though having nothing to do with the aliens plans and Ghidorah's resurgence⁠ - is an example of Godzilla's willingness to eliminate those who oppose him from his goal, in addition to their species' past conflicts.

While he displayed brutal and prideful tendencies when fighting Kong at Hong Kong, as he gave off a particularly menacing grin followed by a grumble evocative of a chuckle of sorts when he scars a small proportion of the right-side Kong's face with his atomic breath, Godzilla's confrontation with Kong was partly due to frustration by his rival unknowingly deterring him from stopping Apex Cybernetics twice.

However, this didn't stop him from sparing the ape-like Titan's life since the latter was not the threat he sought and to a subtle degree, Kong's defiance in the face of defeat earning him the King of the Monsters' respect. This noble decision ultimately saved his life during a hopeless fight against Mechagodzilla, since it allowed Kong to assist his likely ally against a common enemy.

## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **Titanus Gojira Physiology**: As a Titanus Gojira, particularly the alpha Titan, Godzilla is incredibly powerful as he possesses several physical and supernatural attributes that surpasses that of other Titans. after going through a metamorphosis in 2024, these attributes have become considerably more powerful than before. Godzilla is also the most powerful Titan in existence, rivaled only by the late Ghidorah in terms of "raw power".
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Due to Godzilla's gargantuan size, he possesses colossal amounts of ginormous physical strength as he is far greater than that of his race, making him the strongest Titan to ever exist, even more than his predecessor, Dagon. However, Titans of similar strength like M.U.T.O. Prime, Ghidorah, Kong and Mechagodzilla can harm Godzilla and, potentially, kill him. He is capable of smashing through the Golden Gate Bridge (though it was mostly accidental) can toss the M.U.T.O.s around with ease, effortlessly shove the female M.U.T.O. backwards with his arms and lift MUTO Queen onto his back, despite her comparable size and weight to Godzilla. Godzilla is also proven to be strong enough to tear off one of Ghidorah's heads, spin around and throw his nemesis relatively easily and even pierce his chest with a single stomp in his burning form. The only Titan who was capable of rivalling Godzilla in terms of "physical strength" was Ghidorah and even he had much difficulty fighting Godzilla and was stated in the novelization and in the movie to have been trapped by him in Antarctica. Godzilla is also able to cause tsunamis just by going ashore despite his gigantic size. In *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla can cleave through and destroy navy battleships effortlessly. In an exchange of blows between himself and Kong, Godzilla was shown to be able to knock Kong off his feet and leave him dazed long enough that Kong required assistance from the navy and jets to get back into the fight. At one point, Godzilla is ensnared by both of Kong's arms in a bear hug and bitten, but he breaks the hold with the strength of Kong's left arm alone by simple grabbing the top of Kong's head with one hand and shoving him off with such force that Kong's arms were straightened from their curled and locked position and Kong was violently smashed against the sinking carrier, destroying it. In their battle in Hong Kong, Godzilla was able to repeatedly overpower Kong in the following such instances: he snatched Kong from his grip on his axe and the building with the strength of his arm and neck, when Kong held out his arm to keep Godzilla from grabbing his face, Godzilla grabbed Kong's arm and folded it up so forcefully that Kong's head is seen whipping back, and he later forces Kong backwards first with a charge and then a violent shove with one arm, despite Kong bracing against both attacks with both of his arms and legs. Godzilla could also swing and toss Kong several hundred feet away and smash through buildings easily, with the force of said swing being sufficient to break Kong's left arm with an audible crack. When he fought his robotic doppelgänger Mechagodzilla, with only at half of his strength, Godzilla briefly matched his mechanical duplicate in strength by pushing it back after charging at the mecha, and managed to slam it through a nearby building with assistance from Kong. According to and confirmed by Jared Krichevsky, if Godzilla was not weakened fron his confrontation against Kong and had been at full strength, he most definitely would have been able to overpower and destroy Mechagodzilla quite easily. He is stronger than MUTO prime, who can cause earthquakes by punching the ground.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Godzilla is extremely hardier and more resistant to conventional forms of physical injury as he is covered over with thick scaled skin which act as body armor, allowing him to withstand conventional weaponry such as heavy gunfire, missiles, tank shells, and various others. It was stated that he withstood exposure to the nuclear tests carried out in the South Pacific in the 1950s, even appearing to have survived the detonation of Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb, at Bikini Atoll while directly next to the bomb. Godzilla even can survive constant beatings from the M.U.T.O.s as well as several vicious attacks from Ghidorah such as bites from the latter's three heads, several strikes from Ghidorah's gravity beams, being strangled and even a fall from thousands of feet after being airlifted, though he is still weakened by the sheer amount of pain caused by the impact. In *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla was shown to withstand a punch from Kong, staggering only a bit. He is also shown to quickly recover after being stabbed by Kong's axe on his thigh, got knocked out by an explosion emitted by the simian Titan's weapon and even got punched by Kong on his wounded thigh. Godzilla can also endure Mechagodzilla's punches and kicks that have been charged with Hollow Earth energy, and could withstand a full-powered proton scream with his powerful skin, emitting a burn on his chest. Godzilla, like all Titans, can also survive Gravitational Inversion, a planet's worth of gravity reversed in a split second.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: In the water, Godzilla can reach up to 40 knots and on land, he is able to run at great speeds when charging at Ghidorah, running in a horizontal posture comparatively similar to that of a theropod dinosaur. He can even occasionally resort to walking and running on all fours in an almost crocodilian-like fashion in order to quickly reach his opponents, as seen during his fight against Kong. Though he can still be outmatched by faster and more agile opponents, despite this, Godzilla is still able to deliver quick counterattacks against them, most notably when he slams the Winged M.U.T.O. into a skyscraper with his tail as soon as the latter is within his reach.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Godzilla's musculature is considerably efficient. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all, allowing Godzilla to fight his enemies for prolonged periods of time without getting exhausted or wearing out. This is proven in his fights against the M.U.T.O.s, MUTO Prime, Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. Even when he is swimming or journeying to track down his enemies, Godzilla does not even seem to have any signs of fatigue until he reaches his destination to prepare himself for battle.
	+ **Superhuman Endurance**: Godzilla's pain tolerance level is extraordinarily high. Even if he is wounded from the fights he gets into, he'll barely feel a thing. This is proven in his fights against the M.U.T.O.s, MUTO Prime, Ghidorah, Kong, and Mechagodzilla.
	+ **Powerful Lung Capacity**: Godzilla is capable of holding his breath underwater for an extended period of time without breathing.
	+ **Superhuman Senses**: Like some reptiles, Godzilla is granted with acute senses, especially his sense of smell and hearing. He is able to track down the M.U.T.O.s' locations from the ocean by their mating calls, hunt down Ghidorah in Antarctica and is also capable of sensing the presence of his foe inside Mechagodzilla, prompting him to go on a search for Ghidorah, recognizing the mecha as a threat to the balance of nature.
		- **Superhuman Vision**: Godzilla possesses great vision, aiding him in fighting off against his foes and enabling him to locate things from far distances easily.
			* **Thermal/Infrared Vision**: Like some reptiles, Godzilla is capable of using thermal vision to see another creature's body temperature, shown in his battle against Tiamat after her toxic vapor temporarily blinded him.
			* **Night Vision**: Godzilla's vision is enhanced to help him see in the darker environment of both underwater and on land.
	+ **Energy Absorption**: Godzilla can absorb several different types of energy, particularly radiation. The more energy he absorbs, the stronger/more powerful his physical and supernatural attributes become.
	+ **Self-Sustenance**: As a Titan, Godzilla does not need to eat or sleep, but nevertheless must absorb energy for power-up or hastening recovery from his injuries.
	+ **Camouflage**: In *Godzilla: Awakening*, Godzilla is capable of camouflaging himself to be able to blend into his surroundings, shown 250 million years ago when he made himself look like an island before getting disturbed by the Shinomura that landed near him.
	+ **Telepathy**: In *Godzilla Dominion*, Godzilla is capable of using telepathy, shown when he commanded the other Titans that were roaming all over the planet to rest after reclaiming one of his old lairs from Tiamat. However, according to the novelization, it is implied that he is using some sort of silent call to make Titans rest.
	+ **Accelerated Healing Factor**: Due to the fact that Godzilla can absorb energy, such as radiation, despite his body's incredible resistance, can sustain physical injury. If injured, his metabolism enables him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue much faster, depending on how serious his wounds are. He was completely healed following his battle with the M.U.T.O.s in San Francisco, while it took him 5 years to completely heal from his injuries inflicted on him by MUTO Prime.
		- **Longevity/Semi-Immortality**: Godzilla's incredible healing factor coupled with aforementioned self-sustenance and ability to absorb energy provide him with an incredibly long lifespan as he is capable of living for long periods of time seemingly without aging or weakening. He has even lived through the K-T extinction and remained physically unchanged for 100 million years. In addition of aging slower despite being 252 million years old and still has the physical appearance of a giant reptile in his prime, Godzilla can practically live forever, though close-call instances such as exposure to the Oxygen Destroyer and his battle against Mechagodzilla confirmed that he can still be killed.
	+ **Amphibiousness**: Although spending half of his life in the water and on land since he has an amphibious lifestyle, Godzilla can survive both underwater and on land as he possesses amphibious lungs and gills on his neck, thus making him an adept combatant in both environments. Godzilla has displayed as being able to stay and breath underwater indefinitely, although he is certainly more than capable of living on land since he still needs to breathe air and has to surface periodically in order to breathe. Godzilla even closes his gills when he is on land so that he can use his lungs.
		- **Underwater Breathing**: Considering Godzilla is an amphibian and not a reptile, he is able to breathe while he is underwater.
	+ **Extreme Temperature Resistance**: Unlike his distant reptilian relatives, Godzilla isn't a cold-blooded creature, but an extremophile of the most impressive order. His resistance to sub-zero and superheated temperatures is remarkable adaptation that's likely to his thermonuclear regulatory systems whether as demonstrated in his ability to withstand the frigid conditions of Antarctica during his fight with Ghidorah. Additionally, in his burning form, Godzilla displays a high resistance to extreme heat, allowing him to endure and withstand scorching temperatures. This resilience enables him to persist even in the face of intense burning conditions.
	+ **Nature Awareness**: After Mothra's sacrifice to empower him, 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.
	+ **Symbiosis**: Godzilla has a symbiotic relationship with Mothra as they are able to communicate using sonar over great distances, with Mothra using this ability to locate Godzilla and lead Monarch to his location to revive him. After Ghidorah disintegrates Mothra with his gravity beams, her life energy rains down into Godzilla, imbuing him with increased power that causes his skin to crack and glow orange while emitting incredibly intense heat. In this empowered state, Godzilla can utilize his powerful incendiary nuclear pulse, which manifests in the shape of Mothra's wings.
	+ **Omega Call**: As the omega Titan, Godzilla is able to let out a powerful call that can be heard by other Titans all over the world and make them compliant to his commands. But he lost this when his nemesis, Ghidorah bested him in the water due to the fact that the military had intervened. After killing Ghidorah once-and-for all, Godzilla regained his omega call. As displayed by Ghidorah, this cry only works on lesser Titans and does not work on other Titans with their own omega status such as Godzilla himself, Mothra and Kong who were unaffected by Ghidorah's cry.
	+ **Bio-Atomic Nature**: Godzilla possesses natural bio-nuclear circulatory systems as with his species, instead of gaining it upon being irradiated by man-made nuclear which acts as the source of his nuclear-based powers. Activating when threatened, a neutron flux is triggered that travels up Godzilla's dorsal fins to nucleosynthetic chambers in his throat and explodes into his atomic breath. His radioactive signature also makes it easy for Godzilla to be followed and monitored. The novelization of *Godzilla vs. Kong* indicated this quirk of his being above average compared to other members of his species since he bolstered it by absorbing sufficient amount of Hollow Earth's energy at one point in his long life.
		- **Atomic Breath:**: Godzilla's most prominent ability and main weapon of choice is his atomic breath, a powerful, blue-colored beam of atomic energy that he shoots out of his mouth. In the 2014 film, his atomic breath is strong enough to bring down and incapacitate the Eight-Legged M.U.T.O. in two shots and he often uses it as a final blow on his opponent. The neon-blue glow on Godzilla's dorsal plates begins at the tip of his tail and goes all the way to the top of his neck in this film and to let the audience know when he was going to fire it, an electric humming sound is heard. His eyes and numerous orifices around his scales also glow neon-blue moments before and when he unleashes the beam from his mouth, though this only occurs if he is in perfect condition and not hampered by M.U.T.O.s' EMP field. In 2014, Godzilla only used his atomic breath as a last resort against opponents he can't physically overpower on his own, as the atomic breath that he demonstrated during his battle against the Eight-Legged M.U.T.O. and Winged M.U.T.O., the atomic breath was not released at full strength. In the graphic novel *Awakening* and later, *King of the Monsters*, Godzilla was shown breathing a more intense and beam-like atomic breath, which could be stronger and as destructive as the atomic breath when he is in better condition. In *King of the Monsters*, after being revived by Monarch, a fully powered Godzilla fires his attack and shows that the atomic breath can knock or push back opponents such as Ghidorah several times heavier than him. As of *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla's breath has grown more powerful, capable of easily destroying major human settlements not unlike his Heisei and Final Wars incarnations' versions as well as injuring Kong. But a point-blank atomic ray, had never damaged Kong's battle axe. The breath is also shown when fully charged, to be powerful enough to bore straight into the Earth's core. His atomic breath may be strong enough to destroy the universe. According to and confirmed by Jared Krichevsky, if Godzilla's atomic breath was not weakened from drilling into the Hollow Earth, his confrontation against Kong and had been at full power, it most definitely would have been able to overpower Mechagodzilla's proton scream quite easily, as well as the fact that Mechagodzilla would not have been able to survive Godzilla's atomic breath at full power. In *Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire*, after being max charged in 2024, Godzilla's atomic breath would take on a pinkish magenta coloration and spirals when exiting his mouth.
		- **Thermonuclear Pulses**: In *Godzilla: Aftershock*, Godzilla is capable of emitting a shockwave of atomic energy from his body, specifically from his then-shattered dorsal plates at will as a short-range attack. It is strong enough to send a kaiju around MUTO Prime's size sailing and crippling it at the same time if deployed from point-blank range. Godzilla in his burning form is even more powerful as three successive blasts of a nuclear pulse were able to destroy Ghidorah completely, except for his middle head, which Godzilla later disintegrated with his atomic breath. Godzilla only uses this out of complete desperation as it drains a lot of power.

### Weaknesses

#### Current

* **Limited Durability:** Although Godzilla's bodily tissues are resistant to damage, he does have his own limits as he was easily overwhelmed when both the M.U.T.O.s attacked at once, being unable to fight the female head-on and anticipate the male's attacks at the same time. Godzilla can also be outmatched in one-on-one combat by an enemy comparable or superior to him in size and strength, as observed in his encounters with MUTO Prime, Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. MUTO Prime relies on her powerful forelimbs to stun Godzilla with a well-timed punch to the face, while also successfully drawing blood from him with the sharp claws on her smaller additional arms. MUTO Prime's sonic roar is also powerful enough to completely shatter his dorsal fins. MUTO Prime's speed allows her to escape before Godzilla can react, meaning MUTO Prime gradually weakens Godzilla over several encounters by attacking him and retreating before she sustains any damage herself. Monarch determines that Godzilla lost his battle against MUTO Prime in France, as he sustains numerous wounds while MUTO Prime escapes mostly unharmed. Godzilla is nearly infected by MUTO Prime's parasitic spores twice and only manages to survive and win their final battle in Montana due to Monarch's intervention. However, unlike in his battle with the M.U.T.O.s, Godzilla's battle with MUTO Prime leaves him with visible injuries all over his body, and he is only able to weakly limp away. Godzilla can also be outmatched against Ghidorah in physical combat on several occasions, seen when his foe is strong enough to restrain Godzilla with his serpentine necks and can pin him to the ground or lift him into the air. During his battle with Mechagodzilla, Godzilla was consistently outmaneuvered and overpowered by his mechanical counterpart, only avoiding death in a fashion similar to the female M.U.T.O. thanks to Kong's interference. While Godzilla proved himself superior to Kong in terms of sheer strength and durability, he was repeatedly outmaneuvered by the smaller Titan and was tricked by Kong when he threw a crane to distract him before pouncing on his larger rival from behind. He was also injured by Kong's axe when he swung his weapon into Godzilla's thigh, drawing blood.
* **Limited Stamina:** Godzilla can still be worn out from extreme activities, such as recurring fights against the M.U.T.O.s, Ghidorah and Kong. After killing the male M.U.T.O., Godzilla paused to catch his breath, only to be pinned under a collapsing skyscraper. After killing the female and roaring victoriously, Godzilla eventually lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground passed out, before regaining consciousness the following morning. After Ghidorah stunned him by firing lightning from his wings, Godzilla showed visible exhaustion as he started going into "critical mass". Although he is still energized from his fight against Kong, Godzilla's exhaustion soon becomes a major problem, when he faces Mechagodzilla afterwards.
* **Gills:** The least durable part of Godzilla's body are his gills on the sides of his neck. This was seen when the military shot at Godzilla's dorsal plates while he was rising out of the sea, but he didn't suffer any damage. When they fired at his gills, it caused Godzilla to panic and accidentally smash through the Golden Gate Bridge due to his ginormous size, since he was suffering from a lot of agony at the time before he resumes hunting the male M.U.T.O. This was also seen when Godzilla was being beaten down by the mated M.U.T.O. pair. At one point, he roared angrily at the female M.U.T.O., but her mate attacked him, and after that, he suffered extreme agony when the female M.U.T.O. slashed through his gills with her claws. In *Godzilla vs. Kong*, Godzilla was briefly bitten on the gills by Kong during their underwater fight, showing that Kong's bite did hurt him quite a bit.
* **Lackluster Size:** While not inhibiting Godzilla in combat, his size can be exploited against his status as a hero, as he unintentionally causes destruction, such as creating a tsunami, when he surfaces near Hawaii or, when he charges right through the Golden Gate Bridge, cleaving it in half as a byproduct. But the destruction he inadvertently causes is of little concern to himself and is more of a danger much smaller life forms, such as humans.
* **Oxygen Destroyer:** Godzilla is highly susceptible to the anti-Titan weapon, known as the "Oxygen Destroyer". Despite this, he was able to survive the exposure from a single blast, albeit it had severely crippled him, in the process, forcing him to retreat to his lair to restore his health, before his heart stopped beating, which would kill him of cardiac arrest.
* **Weakened State:** If Godzilla is severely weakened, he can be overpowered by opponents that, he is normally stronger than, when he is at full power, for example, Mechagodzilla was able to physically overpower Godzilla, as well as overpowering his atomic breath, with his proton scream quite easily, due to the fact that, Godzilla had already spent much of his energy to use his atomic breath extensively to drill, into the Hollow Earth and to battle against Kong, therefore, he was not at full power at the time, during his confrontation against Mechagodzilla.

#### Former

* **Energy Overload**: If Godzilla absorbs too much energy simultaneously, he will involuntarily explode, similar to an atomic bomb. But after absorbing Mothra's life-force energy, this is no longer a weakness for Godzilla.
* **Short Arms**:

## History

### Past

"*The 1954 Castle Bravo nuclear tests weren't tests, they were trying to kill something.*"

—Dr. William Randa metioning Godzilla.
Godzilla was first mentioned by Monarch operative William Randa, who stated that the 1954 nuclear tests were not tests, but attempts to kill Godzilla.

Later, in 1973, Houston Brooks and San Lin would brief James Conrad and Mason Weaver on several other monsters who ruled the world alongside Kong. This included Godzilla, along with Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah, who were all shown to the two via classified Monarch cave paintings.
