Godzilla
1st app.- Godzilla # 1
Godzilla was over 100 feet tall and immensely strong and durable. He had a semi-prehensile tail and had human level dexterity in his hands and use of his arms. He was amphibious and could expel radioactive flame from his mouth at will. He demonstrated a near-human level of intelligence and understanding.
He was later mutated into a more amphibious form, and it is not certain how this affected his abilities. He has not be seen to use his radioactive flame in this form.
Godzilla is believed to be a dinosaur who somehow survived in an inert form below the surface of the ocean until the modern era. He is believed to have been mutated by nuclear weapons testing. It is also possible that Godzilla is actually a mutate created by the Deviants of Lemuria, as many of the other giant monsters from his era have been found to be active over several of the last decades. For instance, the Deviants created a race of dinosaurs that dwell in Wakanda.
Godzilla was first seen when he surfaced off the coast of Japan in 1956, during nuclear testing. Dr. Yuriko Takaguchi was present during this testing as a passive resistant and witnessed Godzilla's arrival. Godzilla rampaged through the city of Tokyo on more than one occasion. Other monsters, similarly revived by the nuclear testing, also surfaced and attacked Tokyo, and Godzilla fought several of these creatures. | Credit - The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe
