A demonic doppelganger of Godzilla appears in the first issue of the 2015 IDW comic series Godzilla in Hell.

Name

The creature is not named in the comic. "Doppelganger demon" is used here as a descriptive phrase.

Design

When in its disguised form, the doppelganger demon closely resembles Godzilla, except for the fact that it is covered in multiple scars and wounds, and appears to be missing one of its eyes. When Godzilla approached it, the demon split its skin open and revealed its true form: a beast with massive jaws, a single red eye, and several sharp tendrils. The demon keeps Godzilla's dorsal fins even in its true form.

History

Godzilla in Hell #1

After wading through a storm cloud composed of damned souls in Hell, Godzilla discovered a doppelganger of himself in the eye of the storm, standing motionless and staring off vacantly into the distance. However, when Godzilla approached to inspect it, the doppelganger began to take on its true form, revealing itself to be a grotesque demon. The demon gradually transformed over time, opening up more mouths until finally what was once the Godzilla facade's chest opened up, and it attempted to devour Godzilla whole. This decision turned out to be a poor one, as Godzilla was able to blow the demon to pieces with a nuclear pulse frominside out.

Abilities

Shapeshifting

The doppelganger demon can shapeshift.

Physical abilities

The doppelganger demon is armed with sharp tendrils and large jaws. It was capable of effortlessly lifting and throwing Godzilla throughout their fight. Additionally, it proved strong enough to ensnare Godzilla in its tendrils before pulling the King of the Monsters towards its gapping mouth.

Weaknesses

Godzilla's atomic breath severed the doppelganger demon's tendrils. Additionally, Godzilla proved to be superior in tactics and combat. The doppelganger demon was ultimately killed when it allowed Godzilla to run into its mouth while pulling him in. It didn't comprehend Godzilla's actions until it was too late, as it was gruesomely obliterated by Godzilla's nuclear pulse.

Trivia

  • The doppelganger demon's demise taking on the form of it attempting to consume Godzilla, only to be obliterated from inside by Godzilla's nuclear pulse, may be nods to Orga since he suffered the same fate in Godzilla 2000: Millennium.
  • The demon's true form is also a possible reference to the alien creature from John Carpenter's The Thing.
