Astounding Beyond Belief is a Wikizilla bureaucrat, and also the person writing this, so I feel weird using the third person. After making a few random edits to the site during its time on Wikia, I formally joined the site in December 2016 and rose through the ranks at terrifying speeds.
History as a Kaiju Fan
