Summary

Godzilla is an ancient alpha-predator whose species thrived during the Permian Period when radiation levels on the Earth's surface were much higher.

After the Permian extinction, radiation levels declined they retreated into the depths of the sea to live in the hollow earth to subsist on the planet's natural geothermal radiation. Here they 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 including Godzilla himself long after he was born.

Millions of years later, 2-5 million years ago, Godzilla would be born in Madagascar, his earliest memory hatching from an egg as he saw lemur titans.

During these millions of years, he'd go on to fight King Ghidorah defeating him in Antarctica and develop a rivalry with Kong's kind which lead to an ancient war. At some point upon going dormant, Godzilla was eventually 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, parasitic kaiju that existed during the Permian Period, and followed them. After engaging the creatures in Honolulu and San Francisco, Godzilla, with some assistance from the US military, finally succeeded in defeating them and again returned to the ocean's depths.

After subsequently slaying the MUTOs' 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 his ancient nemesis King Ghidorah from his icy tomb in Antarctica, Godzilla confronted the newly-awakened 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.

This incarnation of Godzilla found itself battling Kong in the fourth entry of the MonsterVerse, Godzilla vs. Kong.

Attack Potency: Large Planet Level (Was able to fight off King Ghidorah in the past, is stronger than MUTO Prime, who can violently rip into the Earth's mantle. In an heavily weakened and tired state, Godzilla was capable of blasting into the Hallow Earth, and tanking Mechagodzilla's Proton Scream, which upscales the Hallow Earth feat by 2.8K Times.) At least Dwarf Star Level (Godzilla Upscales the Hallow Earth, which is this powerful, and produces gamma ray bursts.) Small Star Level with Energy Absorption (Was capable of easily overpowering King Ghidorah.) even Higher as Burning Godzilla (After he absorbed Mothra's energy, he stomped King Ghidorah, and dispersed his storms.) Large Planet Level (His weakened states in GvK and 2014 should scale the same) | At least Dwarf Star Level (After being supercharged from absorbing energy, he was compared to his burning self, though not as severe.) Higher after fully evolving (Was stated to be twice as stronger as before.) even Higher with the Spiral Heat Ray (The Spiral Heat Ray is stated to be the most powerful energy surge ever recorded, according to monarch.)

Speed: Subsonic+ Movement speed (Ran across several city block in Boston, blitzed Kong while mauling him on all fours.) With FTL Combat and Reactions (His atomic breath is stated to be Cherenkov Light, Cherenkov Radiation is this fast. Can keep up with King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla, the later of which proton scream was calced to be this fast.)

Lifting Strength: Class P when weakened (Stronger than Kong, who could crush a heav. Flipped a cargo ship and tore off Genitor's Spine.) | Class Y at full power (Can overpower King Ghidorah, and is stronger than Muto Prime, who can violently rip apart the Earth's Crust), Pre-Stellar with Energy Absorption.) | Class P | At least Class Y, Likely Far Higher

At least Dwarf Star Level, Small Star Level with Energy Absorption (Withstood King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams, survived the Oxygen Destroyer.) Large Planet Level (Tanked Kong's Axe unfazed and unharmed, the same axe that absorbed Godzilla's beam twice, which could blast into the Hallow Earth, which shows that Godzilla physically upscales his own Atomic Breath. Can take beatings from Mechagodzilla, including his proton scream, which was show to badly burn Godzilla.) At least Dwarf Star Level, Higher after fully evolving

Stamina: Superhuman (Shown to run and fight for long periods of time. In Godzilla VS Kong, he was swimming across and patrolling the entire planet looking for Mechagodzilla while tired. He started fighting with Kong at sunset, and finished at dawn, which shows that he can at least more than 12 hours straight.) Higher after fully evolving (Godzilla's Energy capacity is 20 times greater than usual, which would mean he should be able to fight continuously for at least 480 hours.)

Range: Tens of Meters by Sheer Size, Hundreds of Meters with Tail (167.74 meters in 2014. 177.4 meters in 2019), Thousands of Kilometers with Atomic Breath (Can reach all the way through to the Hollow Earth) | Same as before, Kilometers with Nuclear Pulse (Incinerated numerous city blocks of Boston)

Standard Equipment:

• Teeth
• Claws
• Tail

Intelligence: At least Average (Though he seems to mostly rely on instincts, Godzilla has demonstrated high cognitive ability in his combat skill, learning capabilities, and strategic ability during his battles, such as with the MUTOs, King Ghidorah, Kong, and Mechagodzilla. He recognized that the Hokmuto repeatedly attacked him from behind, promptly fooling him by turning his back to lure him in and then striking him with his tail, killing him. Godzilla recognized Scylla's patterns of movement, initially failing to catch up, then intercepting her at her next destination rather than the one she was already at in her quest for nuclear radiation. Godzilla skillfully dispatched Scylla and the Ion Dragon respectively. He is also resourceful, taking advantage of the aquatic environment against Ghidorah. Godzilla also made use of the surface world's stockpile of energy after being alerted by the Iwi that Skar plans to wage war and conquest once again with Shimo in tow. He can recognize threats and ignore those who are not, moving around battleships and vessels that lay in his path. The titan even shows a fine degree of recognition and memory. He recognizes and remembers that Serizawa—a mere human—saved him from his critical state. Godzilla also recognized Kong as a temporary ally after being saved by him from Mechagodzilla and that he could power the latter’s axe with his atomic breath to defeat their opponent. He appears to possess some degree inquisitiveness toward humans, as seen he briefly looks Ford Brody in the eye when he collapses to his level. It is also shown when he sees Serizawa approaching him and when he inspects the group that helped bring him back from his near-death state. Godzilla is capable of feeling and expressing emotion, as demonstrated by him laughing after he successfully hit Kong with his atomic breath. Moreover, he roars in grief while absorbing Mothra's life force after she had sacrificed herself for him against Ghidorah, and remembered her sacrifice in the period of time after. Most importantly, Godzilla's face and attitude soften once he sees Mothra resurrected in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire)

Weaknesses: Godzilla's gills are somewhat softer and more vulnerable than the rest of his body, as he was shown to recoil in pain when they were targeted by missiles.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Base ▾
• Burning ▾
• Post-Meltdown ▾
• Supercharged ▾
• Evolved ▾

• Atomic Breath
• Death Kiss
• Power Bite
• Tail Hit
• Claws Slash
• Radiation Stream

• Atomic Breath: Godzilla's atomic breath is more of a focused, fiery-shaped energy beam that Godzilla spews from his mouth. Godzilla only uses it against the MUTOs after he had taken a severe beating and was already growing weaker, showing that Godzilla may opt to use it as a last resort against opponents he can't physically overpower on his own. The blasts were strong enough to push, severely weaken, and eventually kill, the female MUTO. The film's novelization 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 the sequel, 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: The MonsterVerse 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.

• Nuclear Pulse

• 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.

• Planetary Extrasensory Perception

• 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 sacrifice in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 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.

• Supercharged Nuclear Pulse

• Supercharged Nuclear Pulse: A stronger variation of the standard "Nuclear Pulse", that was described as an EMP.

• Evolved Atomic Breath

• Evolved Atomic Breath: After absorbing all the electromagnetic solar wind energy from Tiamat's lair and evolved, Godzilla's atomic breath exponentially peaked in power and took on a magenta coloration. During his fight with Kong, his evolved atomic breath obliterated one of the Pyramids of Giza and sent Shimo upwards when he resurfaced in Rio De Janeiro. During his fight against Skar King and Shimo, Godzilla fired a particularly powerful blast of his atomic breath by holding in his atomic energy to the point that his body was visibly cracking and emitting visible radiation, resulting in a corkscrew-shaped blast that took on a powerful purple coloration and gave the beam some resemblance to his Heisei and Final Wars counterparts' respective spiral heat rays.
