Something to also bring up before we get into the feats is what actually put Godzilla in Hell in the first place. According to issue 2, King Ghidorah is “The crux of it all. The reason the leviathan was brought into this horrific netherworld.” Yet, issue 3 has a flashback to Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla killing each other (alongside the planet… which we’ll get to) in a beam clash. What exactly is going on here is unclear, whether it’s intentional as part of GiH’s purposely mysterious narrative or just a simple matter of disparate writers not communicating and no one stepping in to correct this, I have no clue unfortunately.

In issue 4, he takes repeated strikes from King Ghidorah and Destoroyah. I will not be counting the part where he is impaled and simply breaks the tower and jumps off, as this clearly has more to do with the nature of whatever that place is constantly bringing them back than anything to do with Godzilla’s durability.

”That” Feat
Despite it being my personal opinion that this is a massive outlier, to not cover it at all would be disingenuous.
Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla’s battle in Brazil ends with the two entering a beam clash that proceeds to destroy the entire planet of Earth in a colossal explosion.
It might not even be fucking real, it could just as likely be a hallucination of a layer of Hell. Given how just after this, Godzilla is cast into Hell by God (we’ll get to that in a second), when the first issue started with him being thrown into Hell in a completely different spot than where God drops him.
Super Forms
The base version of this Godzilla has already been covered, however there are two more things that must be mentioned.
”Heavenly” Godzilla
For a slight bit of background, just after Godzilla and SpaceGodzilla kill each other at the start of issue 3, Godzilla finds himself in Heaven, standing before a colossal mountain of monstrous body parts which is surrounded by a swarm of angels with Mothra wings. Yes, that mountain with eyes is God. God demands Godzilla join his army of peace in their battle against Hell, Godzilla responds by smashing one of the angels into paste, and is sent down into a frozen lake of Hell where SpaceGodzilla emerges, demonically possessed, and swiftly overpowers him.
Spoiler:
Some have said that Godzilla “annihilated the Heavenly realm” with this last attack, but that has literally no basis in the comic at all and is most likely just people trying to make Godzilla seem more powerful than he actually is on Vs threads so they can say he beats Superman or some shit.
Still, definitely an impressive form nonetheless. Considering a demonically-possessed SpaceGodzilla was literally powerless against it.
”Hellbat-Body”
In the final issue of Godzilla in Hell, Godzilla finds himself in a wasteland with a towering mountain. At its peak is the gate back to Earth, but also the “God Demon”. Godzilla is harassed by swarms of bat-like creatures as he attempts to climb the mountain, his Atomic Breath just coming out as a puff of smoke when he attempts to use it on the God Demon. Godzilla is utterly powerless, and seems to accept his fate of dying here…
Only for this to happen.
Spoiler:
And with an absolutely massive Atomic Ray, Godzilla obliterates what is most likely the ruler of Hell in one attack. Given the theming of mountains and the title of “God Demon”, it is entirely possible this entity is some sort of counterpart to the God-Mountain from issue 3.
So, bare-minimum, it’s capable of obliterating a creature that is clearly far more massive than Godzilla is and who could completely nullify Godzilla’s normal beam before it even fired, and at maximum Godzilla one shot a cosmic entity. All depends on how one wants to interpret it.
Given the text on the final few pages as Godzilla ascends up the mountain, a quote about conquering oneself by Buddha, the implication would be that Godzilla accepted the sins that put him in Hell in the first place, and this being what somehow allowed him to overtake the Hellbats and do this.
Conclusion
Godzilla in Hell is weird. Its Godzilla is just as much so.
