For me, here’s my ranking for how powerful each Rodan variation is:
4. Showa Rodan: The Showa Rodan, I think, gets this ranking since his abilities were mostly flight, durability, and melee combat.
3. Millenium Era Rodan: The Rodan in Godzilla: Final Wars, gets this rank, because he seemed to have added power to his flight. This is based on the damage he caused to the buildings in New York during his flight. Though he was as much of a fight for Final Wars Godzilla as the Showa Rodan was for the Showa Godzilla, it can be said that Final Wars Godzilla is one of the more powerful Godzilla variations.
2. MonsterVerse Rodan: I placed MonsterVerse Rodan here because he has excellent aerial activity, seen as he was able to rotate himself and attack the fighter jets in midair. Along with that, he produced massive gusts of wind as he flew over Isla de Mars. He also has the ability to survive in lava. He also did survive being stabbed though the chest with Mothra’s stinger.
1. Heisei Era/ Fire Rodan: It seems obvious that the Heisei Era Rodan makes the top of the ranking. He has the Heat Ray akin to Godzilla, which is present in no other version of Rodan. The essence transfer was another feature that grants him the top. Even though the MonsterVerse Rodan survived Mothra’s stinger stabbing him in the chest, the Heisei Rodan survived being blasted in the chest by the Heisei Mechagodzilla, which left a massive gash in Rodan’s chest.
Anyway, this is only my opinion. Please leave your own ranking the comments if you like.
