Although the "Stranger" did not possess any ranged weapons such as an energy beam, it was still a very formidable adversary, going toe-to-toe in its battle against Godzilla.

*Godzilla's fight with Stranger in the comic is very similar to [[Mothra Leo]]'s fight with [[King Ghidorah]] in ''[[Rebirth of Mothra III]]''. However, this is most likely to be just a coincidence.
*The Stranger shares similarities with the [[King Ghidorah (Rebirth of Mothra 3)|King Ghidorah]] from ''[[Rebirth of Mothra 3]]'': both are alien dragons, fed on dinosaurs, fought [[Mothra Leo|another kaiju]] who traveled back in time from the present, and lost a tail in the past.
