Angela. Harry. I hope you understand this doesn't change anything about how I feel about the two of you. You were kind to me, even without knowing who I was. What I was. It's why I protected you from those who would hurt you. It's why I refuse to hurt you now. But you have to understand... the time has finally come. I've finally found my voice. I have fully blossomed into Biollante.

May is the main antagonist of the second story arc of IDW Publishing's 2025 ongoing comic series Godzilla, Energy Unleashed. Referred to as "the girl with the power of Biollante",[1] she triggered a monster stampede across the United States to finally put an end to Godzilla and become "Queen of the Monsters".
Personality
May initially comes across as a shy and quiet individual, but in truth she hides a more ruthless side. She considers herself the "Queen of the Monsters", with lofty plans to rule over the other kaiju once she finally disposes of Godzilla. Despite her sinister goals, she still shows compassion to others such as her adoptive parents Angela and Harry, going out of her way to protect their farm from a group of bandits and unwilling to harm them even after they find out the truth about her.

Godzilla #6
As Dr. Rumi Chiba talked about the "sins of the past" and the "sins of tomorrow", an image of May was shown.
Godzilla #7
May wandered through a farm field of Graceville, Minnesota, startling her adoptive father Harry while he picking corn. He led her back to the barn. The following night, May woke her parents with a scream and pointed out to the dark fields around the barn, to their confusion. Unbeknownst to them, bandits had arrived to raid the premises. However, no attack came, and by the morning May was silently eating breakfast with her adoptive mother Angela. However, Harry quickly informed Angela to meet him outside as the two discovered what had become of their unknown assailants. To their horror, they saw the mutilated bodies of the bandits that planned to raid their barn out in the field, tangled up in thorny vines and toothy roses. Back inside, May uttered her first word: "Biollante".
Godzilla #8
As May watched the latest TV report on Godzilla, Harry and Angela buried the bodies of the bandits and began discussing whether May had something to do with their slaying. Angela was initially hesitant to accept this, but Harry explained further. Recounting the time they found May lying in the only healthy patch of growth amongst a corn field they were going to torch, Harry mentioned that a few days prior to taking May in, he found a pit of thorns close by. They originally assumed their May had been a blessing from heaven, but now questioned if their "angel" could instead be an emissary from hell. It was then that May appeared behind the two with vines at her back. Trapping them within the barn, May went on to explain that she refused to hurt them even now, as they had been kind to her in the time she had spent with them. This would not, however, dissuade her from her ultimate goal. Having found her voice as Biollante and having heard of Godzilla's continued survival, she planned to permanently eliminate the former kaiju monarch and take her place as the Queen of the Monsters. In synchrony with her speech, her pheromone message had spread far and wide across the winds of the world, calling in the kaiju Ebirah, Manda, Rodan, Styrga, Ursogar, and Black Hart to join her new army.
Godzilla #9
After his battle with Styrga, Commander Riviera notified Dr. Rumi Chiba that he only defeated the kaiju because the water table had dropped so steeply that it had run aground on the newly exposed banks. This would imply that a huge volume of water had been drained from the tributary and diverted elsewhere. This was seemingly the work of May, having watered the soil around the barn to make her garden of thorny roses bloom to their fullest. With her garden properly tended, she determined it was finally time for her coronation.
Godzilla #10
As Godzilla and G-Force arrived at her barn, May initiated her grand plan. Calling Rodan off from its battle with Godzilla, she stepped out to challenge the King of the Monsters for the kaiju throne.
Abilities
Plant life manipulation
May is capable of summoning monstrous vines and flytrap-like roses to attack or restrain people. She used these to great effect when several bandits planned a raid on her parent's farm, only to be swiftly and violently killed. She can also use these plants to draw in great quantities of water from far afield, as evidenced when she drained a great volume from a tributary along the Mississippi River.
Pheromone control
May is able to manipulate kaiju via pheromones released from the plants she produces, drawing them to her and doing her bidding. The allure is so strong that even kaiju that are seriously hampered or wounded will continue to follow her commands. Even after Dr. Rumi Chiba wore down Rodan with her pressure point and psychic attacks, the kaiju was still compelled to travel towards May, and a paralyzed Anguirus and scorched Ebirah still attempted to continue their journey despite their grievous injuries. May was also able to call Rodan off from its battle with Godzilla and Jacen Braid.
Trivia
- The "Queen of the Monsters" title that May adopts is an epithet usually reserved to describe Mothra, who has yet to appear in the Kai-Sei Era.
- The rose that covers May's right eye recalls Biollante Asuka from P Godzilla vs. Evangelion: Second Impact G who, after being infected by Biollante's cells, grew a rose over her left eye.
