The threat's name is Godzilla. It first arrived in the sea of Japan long ago... Its sporadic appearances began as curses... sometimes, they were blessings as it fought to assert dominance over the world's kaiju. Godzilla returns to the sea after waging war. In truth, perhaps Godzilla's never tasted defeat?

— Mr. Fantastic tries to explain Godzilla's sudden appearance in New York (Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1) |
Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira) is a kaiju who appears in the comic trilogy of Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, Godzilla: Infinity Roar, and Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse by Marvel Comics. After being awakened from dormancy by Mole Man and his vibranium staff, Godzilla sought to bring destruction and chaos to the Marvel universe, bringing down a multitude of heroes and villains who stood in his way.
Name
- See also: Godzilla#Name.
Godzilla's Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ), comes from a combination of the Japanese approximation of "gorilla" (ゴリラ gorira), and kujira (クジラ), the Japanese word for "whale."
Design
Godzilla's design throughout the trilogy primarily takes inspiration from many of the Heisei designs. In some panels, his design seems to change to more closely resemble his 1954 design, as well as designs of the Millennium era, namely his 2001 and 2004 incarnations.
At the end of Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, Knull approaches Godzilla on the planet he was left stranded on and attaches a Symbiote to him, giving Godzilla the same red, dragon-esque emblem as on the King in Black's chest, as well as his signature red spiral emblem on the kaiju's forehead. This design carries over to the sequels as Godzilla gives in to Knull's influence.
Personality
In Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, Godzilla acts as a force of nature towards the residents of the Marvel universe, primarily only lashing out if provoked first. Upon meeting with his mind, Professor X shuddered in fear at the sheer horror of Godzilla's dark thoughts, realizing that a force of nature cannot be reasoned with like he had hoped.
Godzilla acts far more aggressively in Godzilla: Infinity Roar, rampaging across the galaxy at the command of Knull. Due to the Symbiote likely amplifying his negative emotions, Godzilla has become fueled by vengeance and hatred towards the heroes and villains that defeated him in the past.
Origins
Godzilla is described by Mr. Fantastic as having first emerged from the seas of Japan in the past and since appearing from time to time throughout history, being considered as both a blessing and curse overall due to his rampages often meaning the end of other attacking kaiju like Kumonga. Godzilla initially appears in a deep slumber in a cave full of crystals, having been awoken by Mole Man using the vibranium staff forged by his people.

Abilities
Atomic breath
Godzilla employs his signature atomic breath (放射熱線 hōsha nessen, lit. radioactive heat ray) on occasion throughout Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, appearing as a powerful blue beam of radiation in line with many versions of the character. It likewise boasts significant destructive capabilities, being able to cause an explosion visible from Earth's orbit in conjunction with the 2099 Human Torch's powers, as well as being capable of incapacitating powerhouses like Fin Fang Foom, Dormammu, and a giant Hulk in single blasts. The beam also possesses radiation potent enough for Magneto to feel the heat through his magnetic shield.
In Godzilla: Infinity Roar, Godzilla's atomic breath is enhanced immensely by both the Symbiote granted to him by Knull, as well as the Power Cosmic absorbed from Galactus, now possessing the raw power to completely devastate numerous technologically advanced galactic civilizations like the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda and the Shi'ar Empire, and obliterate beings like Tritanica and a giant Iceman with minimal effort.

Trivia
- It is somewhat unclear as to whether or not this Godzilla is meant to be connected to Marvel's original Godzilla in any way. Gerry Duggan, the trilogy's writer, describes him as being "the classic Showa era Godzilla" despite Godzilla largely bearing the Heisei design and also stating the comics are set in Marvel's Earth-616.
- Godzilla previously bonded with Symbiotes in Godzilla vs. Spider-Man and Godzilla vs. Thor, where he bonded with Venom and All-Black respectively.
