Godman (ゴッドマン Goddoman) is an alien warrior kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1972 Toho tokusatsu series, Go! Godman.
Name
Godman's Japanese name, Goddoman (ゴッドマン), is a combination of the the English words 'god' and 'man.'
Appearance
Godman bears a very slight resemblance to Ultraman, with a similar colored suit. He also has a resemblance to Fireman. He is constantly seen wearing a dark blue translucent visor, from which a mat of blondish-white hair slightly covers it. In a similar fashion to Zone Fighter, he wears a pair of manacles on each of his wrists, a large belt around his waist, and a pair of anklets, all of which are blue and bear a large, golden letter "G."
Personality
Godman is a savior of Earth and protector of people. Unlike Ultraman, Godman very rarely considers sparing foes, and usually opts to beat the foe down until they are exhausted.
History
Showa Series
Go! Godman
Godman is a native alien from the planet Fire God, and when on his home planet, he usually observes the Earth closely. When humans need his help from rampaging kaiju, Godman appears when they call his name, and defeats the monster, before returning to his planet for rest.
Millennium Series
Go! Godman (film)
Godman comes to Earth once more to defeat Tsunojiras and protect Mika Ayase and Koichi Matsushita. To his surprise, Gaira and Jilarji also later appeared, resulting in Godman nearly being killed. But, Greenman was summoned to even out the score, and Godman was able to finish the two monsters off with his Super Sonic Wave attack.
Abilities
Godman tends to fight tooth-and-nail, relying primarily on brute force and finishing moves. His strength is shown to be extremely great, as displayed when he tears Gorosaurus' jaws apart while defeating him. Godman can also conjure a variety of weapons and moves which he developed whilst living on Planet Fire God.
Flight
Godman is capable of flight, while human sized or monster sized, and can even fly from planet to planet.
Enlargement
Godman can alter his own size by shouting "Godman Enlarge!", and he often does so to fight rampant Template:Daikaiju.
God-Acid
Godman can fire God-Acid, a solution from his hand that dissolves monsters.
God-Sparks
Godman can fire God-Sparks, energy bullets shot from his right hand's fingertip. This explodes the monster upon contact.
God-Circle
Godman can use his God-Circle, a frisbee-type discus weapon that has many unexploded bombs and explodes upon contact with its enemy.
God-Shower
Godman has a water-spray attack called the God-Shower.
God-Crush
Godman can use his God-Crush, a flail-like weapon.
Supersonic Wave
Godman's Supersonic Wave is a powerful spiral of supersonic waves that explodes his enemy.
