Godzilla (ゴジラ, Gojira) is the main antagonist of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, supporting character in Godzilla: Ongoing and main protagonist of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth by IDW Comics.
Appearance[]
Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters[]
Godzilla's design changes somewhat over the course of the three comic series in which he appears. However, his basic design remains intact. He is a giant bipedal reptilian creature with scaly gray skin and maple leaf-shaped dorsal plates on his back.
Godzilla's appearance within the first of the comic series seems to be based on Heisei incarnation, with vaguely mammalian-like head featuring nostrils close to each other. Eyes are shown to be completely white in most panels, featuring grey pulpits in some close-ups. This Godzilla's dorsal plates resembled Final Wars incarnation, although much larger. Godzilla's claws are yellow, while his legs and torso were much less massive compared to most of his Japanese counterparts, giving him somewhat more saurian-like appearance. His skin is also much lighter.
Godzilla: Ongoing[]
Godzilla's appearance within Ongoing comic series within seems to be based on Heisei's MogeGoji design, featuring much bulkier legs and torso, while changing eye color to golden.
Godzilla: Rulers of Earth[]
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth storyline, Godzilla's appearance seems to mix traits from both Heisei incarnation and Kiryu Saga incarnation. Like former, Godzilla's body is very bulky, eyes are large and colored golden, whereas face is mammalian-like in appearance. However, like the latter, Godzilla's body is covered in spike-like scales, dorsal plates are now completely white and much more jagged in appearance than before, while skin had slightly lighter coloration than previously.
Personality[]
Godzilla's overall personality seems to be similar to that of the Hesei era incarnation, as he does indeed attack and destroy cities, but acts in a way that is ultimately beneficial to the human race. It is likely that his aggression towards humans is caused by their constant attempts to kill him.
In Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla is purely antagonistic, attacking and killing humans with little to no provocation, and attacks other monsters upon encountering them. As this incarnation behaves in a semi-animalistic way, it is likely that he was simply awakened by human activities. However, after the alien kaiju arrive, Godzilla becomes a somewhat antihero, killing far greater threats. He remains extremely aggressive throughout the majority of Godzilla: Ongoing, however he is convinced to stand down at one point by Mothra. By the end of this series, Godzilla joins forces with other monsters such as Mechagodzilla, Kumonga, and Rodan in order to defend the Earth against the invading space monsters Hedorah, SpaceGodzilla, and Monster X.
In Rulers of Earth, he is still highly aggressive and often attacks other monsters he encounters, although is less destructive, as Steven Woods openly acknowledges that Godzilla is on their side. He is often the lesser of two evils and fends off the other more malevolent creatures employed by the Cryogs and Devonians. While still being destructive, he does less damage during his rampages, and even sides with human mechs such as Kiryu, M.O.G.U.E.RA, and Jet Jaguar. He is also friendly toward some of his fellow monsters, such as Mothra and Anguirus. By the comic's finale, Godzilla joins forces with nearly all of Earth's other monsters, even those that were once his enemies, to defeat the Trilopods in a final confrontation in Los Angeles. Ultimately, he even leaves the humans in peace after the final confrontation with the Trilopods.
History[]
Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters[]
In 2011, Godzilla emerged from the beach, killing a pair of children in the process, and then heading towards the nearby town. After conventional weaponry fails to neutralize the beast, military proceeds to detonate a nuclear bomb with Godzilla inside the explosion. This resulted Godzilla gaining an ability to shoot an atomic breath out his mouth, which Godzilla utilized after resuming his rampage across the town.
Later, Godzilla went towards Tokyo, with military powerless to stop it. The man, whose children were killed by Godzilla at the beach, found a truck filled with explosives nearby After getting on the top of a building Godzilla was walking by, a man, wearing all explosives from the truck he could carry, jumped off the roof. With tears in his eyes, a man detonated the explosives directly on Godzilla's head. However, this has done little to no damage to Godzilla, who continued to devastate Japan's capital until nothing of it remained
Abilities[]
Due to his mutation by the Castle Bravo atomic bomb, Godzilla's body has basically become a walking nuclear reactor, often times needing to feed on nuclear energy in order to keep himself going. He possesses the ability to harness this nuclear energy into powerful beams of energy that he shoots from his mouth or into devastating shock waves that he unleashes from his body when surrounded by multiple enemies.
- Atomic Breath: Godzilla's signature attack, which is also called his Atomic Roar, in which his spines begin to glow with neon blue light before he unleashes a devastating beam of raw nuclear energy at his desired targets. He has also been shown to increase the strength and destructive power of this attack depending on how long he charges it up.
- Spiral Breath: A much stronger version of Godzilla's Atomic Breath, also known as his Spiral Atomic Roar, this attack is similar only it is more concentrated and it is surrounded by a purple spiral of energy. This attack contains explosive power and was used to defeat Titanosaurus after only being used once.
- Nuclear Pulse Blast: By making his spines glow and gathering enough nuclear power into his body, Godzilla can release a powerful shock wave that is powerful enough to knock over buildings and even multiple enemy Kaiju that have him backed into a corner.
Burning Mode: During the final battle against Magita, Godzilla absorbed the power of the other Terran Kaiju in order to unlock this form. In this form, Godzilla's body temperature skyrockets to unimaginable levels to the point that he was able to melt through Magita's tough armored body by simply walking up to her. However, this power boost has been shown to be able to take quite a toll on his body and burns through his radiation levels depending on how long he uses it for.
- Burning Atomic Breath: A much more powerful version of Godzilla's Atomic Breath (or Atomic Roar), only instead of being neon blue, it is a bright reddish-orange with a white electrical spiral wrapped around it. This attack was first used during the final confrontation against Magita when Godzilla absorbed the power of the other Terran Kaiju and was enough to seriously injure her.
- Nuclear Fusion Blast: A more powerful version of Godzilla's Nuclear Pulse Blast, this attack was used to finish off Magita and was strong enough to almost completely disintegrate her entire body, leaving only chard bones and flesh behind.
Immense Strength: Godzilla has been known for having immense physical strength and for being able to fight on par with enemies much larger than himself such as King Ghidorah, Destroyah, Biollante and Kaiser Ghidorah. He is strong enough knock down buildings and use his powerful tail to topple over enemies.
Immense Durability: In addition to being extremely resistant to serious damage, Godzilla posses an extremely advanced and highly efficient regenerative ability. This healing factor is seen in most other Kaiju, though Godzilla's is known for being more fast acting and efficient. However, it would be inherited by all creatures spawned from Godzilla's DNA, those being Biollante, Orga, and SpaceGodzilla, the former two's healing factor appears to even exceed Godzilla's own in terms of speed and efficiency.
Enhanced Speed: Despite his bulky appearance, Godzilla's speed and reflexes are fast and impressive. While he is incapable of moving at swift speeds or dodging attacks in the blink of an eye, it is enough for him to fight on par with more agile foes like Gigan and Monster X. However, he has been shown to be able to be much faster and more maneuverable underwater. This allows him to be able to fight on equal footing with even Manda and Gezora.
Intelligence: Godzilla reacts on animal cunning and instinct, though he is still capable of independent thought and even of human-like intelligence, which is shown after the Trilopod. He has also demonstrated the ability to solve problems, such as when he realized that Mecha-King Ghidorah was being psychically controlled through several radio antennas and that destroying them would weaken the connection. He also posses a certain level of psychic power, possibly the most powerful in existence. His ability to track down enemies from far distances and constant evasion from sonar detection are implications of precognition.
Amphibious Lifestyle: Though technically a reptile and not an amphibian, Godzilla has an amphibious lifestyle. He spends half of his life underwater and the other on land. He is as adept a fighter underwater as he is on land. Capable of marching on the sea floor or swimming by undulating his tail like a crocodile, Godzilla is displayed as being able to breathe underwater, or occasionally hibernating in the ocean depths.
