Description
Years later, Doctor Demonicus had managed to
subdue his once "greatest enemy" and
mutated the radioactive leviathan into a more
amphibious form, in the process of which the
creature also lost the ability to use its trademark
breath weapon. Now a mere shadow of his former
self, Godzilla was bent to the will of the twisted
doctor, who used the beast as a watchdog for
his lair in the Pacific, destroying intruders
who ventured too close to his fortress.
On one such occasion, the creature attacked
an Avengers Quinjet, piloted by the feline superheroine
Tigra, that was flying in the area, forcing
the craft to make an immediate landing on a
nearby island. Demonicus, furious that Godzilla
failed to eliminate the intruder, ordered the
monster to finish its work. The beast obeyed,
traveling to the island and smashing what was
left of the craft. Demonicus later visited the
island to survey the wreckage, only to discover
that the pilot had escaped before Godzilla was
able to destroy the jet. Demonicus then ordered
Godzilla to destroy the nearby village, in order
to fish out the escaped intruder. Godzilla made
a path toward the village, but was attacked
by Tigra, now sensing the creature's new motive.
Tigra fought fiercely against the beast, but
was no match for Godzilla, who carelessly slapped
away its attacker. Godzilla descended on the
small village, but Tigra was persistent, managing
to divert the creature's attention long enough
for the monster to reach out and grasp her in
his hands. The amphibious leviathan moved the
small, tiger-like hero up to his eye in order
to fully witness his prey struggling, before
he was attacked by Hawkeye, Iron Man and Mockingbird,
who arrived in another Quinjet. Hawkeye let
loose with an arrow at the monster, but the
attack proved futile. Godzilla roared at his
new attackers, giving Hawkeye an opportunity
to fire an explosive arrow directly into the
beast's mouth. Godzilla flinched, as the arrow
detonated in his throat, and released Tigra
from his grasp. Hawkeye then let loose with
his entire quiver of arrows against the beast,
but his attempt was for not. Godzilla quickly
descended upon the archer, until Iron Man intervened
and attacked the monster. His attacks proved
ineffective, however, as Godzilla's thick hide
withstood his attacker's blows. Iron Man, out
of options, proceeded to lift the leviathan
over his head and took the monster out to sea.
The monster proved too heavy for Iron Man, though,
as both dropped into the sea like a rock. Godzilla
sunk to the depths below, as Iron Man quickly
removed his armor and swam to the surface for
air.
Later, Godzilla returned to his controller's
lair, bearing Iron Man's armor in his jaws as
a gift for his master before Demonicus would
retire the monster back to its confinement.
Demonicus saw his opportunity to attack Iron
Man head on, donning the hero's own armor as
he flew off to confront the iconic hero. Demonicus'
attempt failed, however, and the mad scientist
was later taken into custody as a result.
Months passed, and Godzilla managed to escape
from his former controller's lair out into the
open sea. The creature stayed in the Pacific,
and ended up wandering onto an open set of "Devil
Dinosaur: The Movie." Godzilla moved in as
a robotic Devil Dinosaur approached him. The robot,
much to Godzilla's surprise, attacked him, an
apparent betrayal by his one-time ally. Godzilla
fought back, sinking his teeth into the back of
the robotic Devil Dinosaur, quickly destroying
the machine. Confused by this revelation, Godzilla
quickly wandered back into the sea, never to be
seen again. |
