“	This creature, according to the folklore of Odo Island, is called Godzilla.	„
	~ Dr. Kyohei Yamane

“	Godzilla was baptized in the fire of the H-bomb and survived. What could kill it now?	„
	~ Dr. Kyohei Yamane regarding what could kill Godzilla.

“	I can't believe that Godzilla was the last of its species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world... another Godzilla may appear.	„
	~ Dr. Kyohei after Godzilla's demise.

Summary

Godzilla (ゴジラ, Gojira) was designed by Teizo Toshimitsu and Akira Watanabe under Eiji Tsuburaya's supervision. Early on, Tanaka contemplated on having the monster be gorilla-like or whale-like in design due to the name "Gojira" (a combination of the Japanese words for gorilla which is gorira, and whale which is kujira) but eventually settled on a dinosaur-like design.

Japan is thrown into a panic after several ships explode and are sunk. At first, the authorities think its either underwater mines or underwater volcanic activity. The authorities soon head to Odo Island, close to where several of the ships were sunk. One night, something comes onshore and destroys several houses and kills several people. A later expedition to the island led by paleontologist Professor Kyōhei Yamane, his daughter Emiko, and young navy frogman Hideto Ogata (who also happens to be Emiko's lover, even though she is betrothed to Dr. Daisuke Serizawa) soon discover something more devastating than imagined in the form of a 164-foot-tall (50-meter-tall) monster whom the natives call Gojira.

Powers and Stats

Tier: At least 8-C, likely Low 7-B, 6-C via Vapor Breath

Name: Godzilla, King of the Monsters

Origin: Godzilla

Gender: Male

Age: At least 200 million years old, likely higher (Speculated by Dr. Yamane to be from the Jurassic Age)

Classification: Irradiated Prehistoric Amphibious Reptile

Powers and Abilities:

• Powers
• Resistances

• Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Longevity (Godzilla has prehistoric origins, awakened by nuclear tests, presenting the sole sample originating from the age of the dinosaurs and is believed to have lived on Earth around 60 to 200 million years ago)
  • Large Size (Type 1 - Godzilla has a height of 50 meters)
  • Non-Standard Breathing (Types 1 and 2) and Self-Sustenance (Type 2 - 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. Godzilla can remain completely submerged underwater for long periods with ease, and Kyohei Yamane suggests that he survived for millions of years living inside a deep underwater cavern. Godzilla had spent most of his life at the depths of the ocean, remaining inactive at the Tokyo Bay. Godzilla had been hibernating for millions of years due to the H-bomb tests, and has "aqualungs" which allows him to live underwater for long periods of time)
  • Bodily Weaponry (Conventional - Has sharp teeth, claws and dorsal plates that form a set of natural weapons. His tail works as an extra weapon, amplifying his destructive power)
  • Extrasensory Perception and Enhanced Senses (Awareness, Night Vision, Microvision, Neutral Vision, Hearing, Smell - Sensed Ogata and Serizawa's presence while taking a nap. Godzilla’s ears can distinguish any noise no matter how distant. Inside them, there is a radar-like magnetic band, ensuring that no matter where he is on Earth, he will never get lost. When compared to an active sonar dolphin, Godzilla can detect distant enemies even in complete darkness or underwater. It is thought that his vision is capable of detecting the blood even in a three-year-old child. Godzilla can casually live in the depths of underwater caves in the South Pacific, where light is scarce, and as a result, he developed a natural ability to see in the darkness by adapting through the conditions of this ambient of low luminosity])
    • Instinctive Action (Godzilla’s brain contains the same magnetic material as the homing instinct of migratory birds, allowing him to align with the magnetic axis of Earth)
  • Regeneration (At least Mid-Low - Has regeneration from his G-Cells, which have the ability to quickly heal him from wounds)
    • Immortality (Type 3)
• Absorption (Energy [Nuclear, Radiation, Thermal]) and Adaptation (After being hit by a hydrogen bomb, instead of succumbing to the explosion, Godzilla rather survived and absorbed the energy generated by the blast, a process that not only enhanced his physical strength, but also conceived him new abilities, such as being able to emit radioactivity and his iconic Vapor Breath from a mutation. His dorsal fins are able to catch and store energy from radiation. Sole samples gathered from his footprint came from the Jurassic age and are contamined with Strontium-90, a chemical element generated from H-bomb explosions, now something that Godzilla can emit, responsible for reanimating and modifying his metabolism. Dr. Kyohei Yamane proposed that Godzilla is a species who lived between the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, which according to the idea, he would have evolved from marine reptiles to land-based mammals over time)
  • Accelerated Development (Other [Absorption, Exposure, Mutation] - Physical Statistics, Abilities, Other [Metabolism] - Mere footprints from Godzilla contains strong amounts of Strontium-90, given his exposure to extreme amounts of radioactivity, however, his vital functions weren't affected at all, and the radiation had made Godzilla to develop notable mutations in his body, granting him a set of new abilities such as his Vapor Breath and radioactivity, those where results from repeated hydrogen bomb tests at Godzilla's location)
• Camouflage (In his native environment, his dark skin helps him blend in with the dark depth ocean. At his natural habitat, the dark color of his being helps in camouflaging in the shadows of the depths of the oceans, turning him practically invisible to other living beings. He was able to sink a ship by heating an area of the water around him while staying in the depth of the ocean without being detected by the crew of the ship)
• Possible Weather Manipulation (The storm that has hit Odo Island was registered as a abnormal phenomena, possessing extraordinary strength capable of destroying vessels and a helicopter with ease, with Godzilla being implied to have caused it)
• Energy Manipulation (After being hit by the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, Godzilla not only resisted the blast, but also demonstrated the capacity of adapting through it. He absorbed the radioactivity generated by the blast, making it part of his physiology. This stored energy not only strengthened him, but also turned him into a powerful and devastating weapon)
  • Breath Attack (Godzilla is able to emit a powerful beam of radioactive incandescent light, known as the Vapor Breath, which presents itself in the form of a white vapor)
    • Temperature Manipulation and Vapor Manipulation (Godzilla’s Vapor Breath is channeled in a form of an extremely hot white vapor, with enough temperature to melt metallic structures such as transmission towers, also being able to heat the ocean from a great depth to the point of causing the sinking of a ship without even being close to it. The Vapor Breath has the capacity of reaching temperatures from 100,000°C, and up to 100,000,000°C due to beta radiation and heat generated from the electrons)
    • Electricity Manipulation (Godzilla’s Vapor Breath can reach extremely high temperatures due to the beta radiation and from the heating generated by electrons, making both the Vapor Breath and Godzilla himself electrically charged. Godzilla has dorsal fins which operates as a energy discharge system, releasing the energy excess accumulated when he emits the Vapor Breath)
    • Explosion Manipulation (His Vapor Breath is able to cause explosions when it enters in contact with any surface, striking bodies and generating an explosive reaction)
    • Light Manipulation (When charging his Vapor Breath, Godzilla's dorsal fins glow ominously, and then he lets loose with a concentrated blast of radiation from his mouth)
    • Magnetism Manipulation (When Godzilla unleashes the Vapor Breath, he emits magnetic fields and radiation creating a phenomena called Cherenkov Radiation)
  • Matter Manipulation (Sub-Atomic), Transmutation and Electricity Manipulation (Godzilla's stomach has the capacity of absorbing everything he consumes over time, operating in a very similar way to a nuclear reactor by producing atomic energy, his main source of power. Godzilla's intestines are able to extract uranium to generate energy, and he has a "energy sac" which stores a uranium liquid and a high-voltage electric current)
  • Radioactivity (Passive - After absorbing and adapting to nuclear energy from a hydrogen bomb blast, his metabolism went through a complete mutation which grant him powers derived from radiation. Godzilla can passively emit radioactivity where he walks, leaving extreme radiation in a single footstep containing Strontium-90 and poisoning a well. His attack left several citizens poisoned with high doses of radiation. His radiation can be detected by a Geiger counter even while he's resting at the depths of the ocean)

Resistance to:

• Extreme Heat and Fire (Godzilla is able to endure the heat generated by his own Vapor Breath, which can reach temperatures varying from 100,000°C to 100,000,000°C. Such heat is produced inside his body and irradiates to his external body. Godzilla survived the blast of a hydrogen bomb)
• Explosions and Loud Sounds (Godzilla resisted the attacks of 10 war vessels equipped with bombs, without any significant damage. Explosives from military tanks, fighter jets and missiles were ignored by Godzilla. Managed to survived the blast of a hydrogen bomb from a little distance away, the sound generated by a nuclear bomb can reach up to 240 decibels)
• Radiation and Magnetism Manipulation (Godzilla is a prehistoric creature, and his first attacks on Japan are linked to the beginning of the Atomic Age; in particular, mutation due to nuclear radiation is presented as an explanation for his great size and strange powers. Godzilla is unaffected by his own radiation. Can resist the effects of his own Vapor Breath, an energy beam generated from nuclear and chemical reactions that occur inside his body and are constantly channelled from inside to outside)
• High Pressure (Godzilla can walk and live at the depths of the ocean with the same effort as he does in land, making the immense pressure of the ocean which would be a great obstacle to other living creatures to be no challenge for him)
• Electricity (Has resisted the electric charges from transmission towers operating with a voltage of 50,000 volts, suffering no apparent damage, but rather making it insignificant)

Attack Potency: At least Building level+ physically (Godzilla can generate this much energy by moving, he collapsed buildings by just walking into them), likely Small City level (Said to be capable of destroying mountains with his tail, which should be this strong), Island level+ via Atomic Breath

Speed: At least Below Average Human (8.5 mph), possibly higher while swimming, Transonic reactions (He nearly struck down several F86F Saber Jets, which can fly at Mach 0.89, while in mid-flight)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Easily lifted a 25,267.9 ton bridge)

Striking Strength: At least Building level+, likely Small City level

Durability: Island level+ (Was at the epicenter of his own blast used to boil a section of the ocean. Can withstand his own Vapor Breath, as it is generated from nuclear and chemical reactions inside his body and is channelled from inside to outside and his dorsal fins can withstand the excess energy release when that occurs. He tanked 50 kiloVolts of electricity with no damage whatsoever, He is invulnerable to tanks, bullets and conventional military firepower in general. Dr. Yamane stated that Godzilla was able to endure a nuclear warhead. Stated many other times to be able to endure a nuclear warhead)

Stamina: Superhuman (Has shown to be able to run and fight for long periods)

Range: Tens of Meters by virtue of his sheer size, Hundreds of Meters with his Atomic Breath

Standard Equipment: Teeth, claws and tail

Intelligence: Average (Godzilla has enough cognitive thought to know that humanity injured his family, destroyed his natural habitat and irradiated him, answering with destroying the closest human outpost (Japan) in revenge. Godzilla is said to have been measuring the depth of the Tokyo Bay in search of a place to hide himself)

Weaknesses: A relevant aspect of his anatomy is a "second brain", a ganglion that controls the agile movement of the lower body, presenting a vulnerability. Introduction of cadmium in his organism negatively impacts his internal energy generator, diminishing the efficiency of his stomach nuclear reactor which Godzilla converts energy to sustain his abilities. Godzilla is sensitive to light due to his nocturnal nature, making him enraged or confused when exposed to strong lights.

Feats:

• Melted nearby transmission towers with his Atomic Breath, which yielded this much.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Vapor Breath
• Bite

• Atomic Breath (放ほう射しゃ熱ねっ線せん, Hōsha Nessen): Godzilla can exhale a powerful radioactive incandescent light (白はく熱ねつ光こう, Hakunetsukō), which takes the form of a white vapor that is hot enough to melt metal and also causes raging fires that can spread across entire city blocks.
