I would normally start the year with a Kamen Rider revision, but I suddenly grew up with the idea of starting with my favorite Toku franchise once again. This CRT will cover changes for the 1954 Godzilla, mostly regarding his P&A section, durability and weaknesses. Godzilla has been a huge phenomena for 70 years, so of course, covering and finding all of his material is extremely hard, and while the current profile is alright, there have been more sources to back up already existing powers and further elaborating them. All credits regarding the information goes to the DreadDormammu for finding most of, if not all of the scans used in this thread, and to @M1G4D1N0's Godzilla physiology profile for Crossverse.
Weaknesses: A relevant aspect of his anatomy is a "second brain", a ganglion that controls the agile movement of the lower body, presenting a vulnerability. Introduction of cadmium in his organism negatively impacts his internal energy generator, diminishing the efficiency of his stomach nuclear reactor which Godzilla converts energy to sustain his abilities. Godzilla is sensitive to light due to his nocturnal nature, making him enraged or confused when exposed to strong lights.
So yeah, get Godzilla's durability to plain 6-C, it is not contradictory at all since it is only implied he got hurt by the atomic bombs right after the mutation started, and he is treated as being immune to every weapon on Earth that isn't the Oxygen Destroyer.
Powers & Abilities
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Bodily Weaponry (Conventional - Has sharp teeth, claws and dorsal plates that form a set of natural weapons. His tail works as an extra weapon, amplifying his destructive power)
- Longevity (Godzilla has prehistoric origins, awakened by nuclear tests, presenting the sole sample originating from the age of the dinosaursand is believed to have lived on Earth around 60 to 200 million years ago)
- Extrasensory Perception and Enhanced Senses (Awareness, Night Vision, Microvision, Neutral Vision, Hearing, Smell - Sensed Ogata and Serizawa's presence while taking a nap. Godzilla’s ears can distinguish any noise no matter how distant. Inside them, there is a radar-like magnetic band, ensuring that no matter where he is on Earth, he will never get lost. When compared to an active sonar dolphin, Godzilla can detect distant enemies even in complete darkness or underwater. It is thought that his vision is capable of detecting the blood even in a three-year-old child. Godzilla can casually live in the depths of underwater caves in the South Pacific, where light is scarce, and as a result, he developed a natural ability to see in the darkness by adapting through the conditions of this ambient of low luminosity)
- Large Size (Type 1 - Godzilla has a height of 50 meters)
- Absorption (Energy [Nuclear, Radiation, Thermal]) and Adaptation (After being hit by a hydrogen bomb, instead of succumbing to the explosion, Godzilla rather survived and absorbed the energy generated by the blast, a process that not only enhanced his physical strength, but also conceived him new abilities, such as being able to emit radioactivity and his iconic Vapor Breath from a mutation. His dorsal fins are able to catch and store energy from radiation. Sole samples gathered from his footprint came from the Jurassic age and are contamined with Strontium-90, a chemical element generated from H-bomb explosions, now something that Godzilla can emit, responsible for reanimating and modifying his metabolism. Dr. Kyohei Yamane proposed that Godzilla is a species who lived between the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, which according to the idea, he would have evolved from marine reptiles to land-based mammals over time)
- Accelerated Development (Other [Absorption, Exposure, Mutation] - Physical Statistics, Abilities, Other [Metabolism] - Mere footprints from Godzilla contains strong amounts of Strontium-90, given his exposure to extreme amounts of radioactivity, however, his vital functions weren't affected at all, and the radiation had made Godzilla to develop notable mutations in his body, granting him a set of new abilities such as his Vapor Breath and radioactivity, those where results from repeated hydrogen bomb tests at Godzilla's location)
- Camouflage (In his native environment, his dark skin helps him blend in with the dark depth ocean. At his natural habitat, the dark color of his being helps in camouflaging in the shadows of the depths of the oceans, turning him practically invisible to other living beings. He was able to sink a ship by heating an area of the water around him while staying in the depth of the ocean without being detected by the crew of the ship)
- Immortality (Type 3)
- Possible Weather Manipulation (The storm that has hit Odo Island was registered as a abnormal phenomena, possessing extraordinary strength capable of destroying vessels and a helicopter with ease, with Godzilla being implied to have caused it)
- Energy Manipulation (After being hit by the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, Godzilla not only resisted the blast, but also demonstrated the capacity of adapting through it. He absorbed the radioactivity generated by the blast, making it part of his physiology. This stored energy not only strengthened him, but also turned him into a powerful and devastating weapon)
- Breath Attack (Godzilla is able to emit a powerful beam of radioactive incandescent light, known as the Vapor Breath, which presents itself in the form of a white vapor)
- Temperature Manipulation and Vapor Manipulation (Godzilla’s Vapor Breath is channeled in a form of an extremely hot white vapor, with enough temperature to melt metallic structures such as transmission towers, also being able to heat the ocean from a great depth to the point of causing the sinking of a ship without even being close to it. The Vapor Breath has the capacity of reaching temperatures from 100,000°C, and up to 100,000,000°C due to beta radiation and heat generated from the electrons)
- Electricity Manipulation (Godzilla’s Vapor Breath can reach extremely high temperatures due to the beta radiation and from the heating generated by electrons, making both the Vapor Breath and Godzilla himself electrically charged. Godzilla has dorsal fins which operates as a energy discharge system, releasing the energy excess accumulated when he emits the Vapor Breath)
- Explosion Manipulation (His Vapor Breath is able to cause explosions when it enters in contact with any surface, striking bodies and generating an explosive reaction)
- Light Manipulation (When charging his Vapor Breath, Godzilla's dorsal fins glow ominously, and then he lets loose with a concentrated blast of radiation from his mouth)
- Magnetism Manipulation (When Godzilla unleashes the Vapor Breath, he emits magnetic fields and radiation creating a phenomena called Cherenkov Radiation)
- Matter Manipulation (Sub-Atomic), Transmutation and Electricity Manipulation (Godzilla's stomach has the capacity of absorbing whatever he consumes over time, operating in a very similar way to a nuclear reactor by producing atomic energy, his main source of power. Godzilla's intestines are able to extract uranium to generate energy, and he has a "energy sac" which stores a uranium liquid and a high-voltage electric current)
- Radioactivity (Passive - After absorbing and adapting to nuclear energyfrom a hydrogen bombblast, his metabolism went through a complete mutation which grant him powers derived from radiation. Godzilla can passively emit radioactivity where he walks, leaving extreme radiation in a single footstepcontaining Strontium-90and poisoning a well. His attack left several citizens poisoned with high doses of radiation. His radiation can be detected by a Geiger counter even while he's resting at the depths of the ocean)
- Breath Attack (Godzilla is able to emit a powerful beam of radioactive incandescent light, known as the Vapor Breath, which presents itself in the form of a white vapor)
- Non-Standard Breathing (Types 1 and 2) and Self-Sustenance (Type 2 - Though technically a reptile and not an amphibian, Godzilla has an amphibious lifestyle. He spends half of his life in water and the other on land. Godzilla can remain completely submerged underwater for long periods with ease, and Kyohei Yamane suggests that he survived for millions of years living inside a deep underwater cavern. Godzilla had spent most of his life at the depths of the ocean, remaining inactive at the Tokyo Bay. Godzilla had been hibernating for millions of years due to the H-bomb tests, and has "aqualungs" which allows him to live underwater for long periods of time)
- Heat and Fire Manipulation (Godzilla is able to endure the heat generated by his own Vapor Breath, which can reach temperatures varying from 100,000°C to 100,000,000°C. Such heat is produced inside his body and irradiates to his external body. Godzilla survived the blast of a hydrogen bomb)
- Explosion Manipulation and Sound Manipulation (Godzilla resisted the attacks of 10 war vessels equipped with bombs, without any significant damage. Explosives from military tanks, fighter jets and missiles were ignored by Godzilla. Managed to survived the blast of a hydrogen bombfrom a little distance away, the sound generated by a nuclear bomb can reach up to 240 decibels)
- Radiation Manipulation and Magnetism Manipulation (Godzilla is a prehistoric creature, and his first attacks on Japan are linked to the beginning of the Atomic Age; in particular, mutation due to nuclear radiationis presented as an explanationfor his great size and strange powers. Godzilla is unaffected by his own radiation. Can resist the effects of his own Vapor Breath, an energy beam generated from nuclear and chemical reactions that occur inside his bodyand are constantly channelledfrom inside to outside)
- High Pressure (Godzilla can walk and live at the depths of the ocean with the same effort as he does in land, making the immense pressure of the ocean which would be a great obstacle to other living creatures to be no challenge for him)
- Electricity Manipulation (Has resisted the electric charges from transmission towersoperating with a voltage of 50,000 volts, suffering no apparent damage, but rather making it insignificant)
Weaknesses
Godzilla currently has "none notable" weaknesses, and much to his dismay, I'm here to dismantle this!.Weaknesses: A relevant aspect of his anatomy is a "second brain", a ganglion that controls the agile movement of the lower body, presenting a vulnerability. Introduction of cadmium in his organism negatively impacts his internal energy generator, diminishing the efficiency of his stomach nuclear reactor which Godzilla converts energy to sustain his abilities. Godzilla is sensitive to light due to his nocturnal nature, making him enraged or confused when exposed to strong lights.
Intelligence
Godzilla is said to have been measuring the depth of the Tokyo Bay in search of a place to hide himself, not enough to change the rating but something to add in the justification given the current one is way too small.Durability
Godzilla is currently listed as having "At least 7-C, likely Low 7-B" durability, which is far below the yield of his Vapor Breath (6-C). The issue is... there is nothing to indicate his durability doesn't scale to his own AP. The main argument against the scaling is the feat being just resistance to temperature manipulation which just... sucks, because this DOES assumes Godzilla is at the epicenter of the blast, however at the same denies Godzilla receiving the yield of the attack because he just has enough heat resistance? Which doesn't work at all, it assumes that any character who can resist over 100M°C even if they're way below 6-C can survive the attack which is simply wrong. Besides, we now know that Godzilla's body can endure the Vapor Breath as it is generated from nuclear and chemical reactions inside his body and is channelled from inside to outside and his dorsal fins can withstand the excess energy release when that occurs.So yeah, get Godzilla's durability to plain 6-C, it is not contradictory at all since it is only implied he got hurt by the atomic bombs right after the mutation started, and he is treated as being immune to every weapon on Earth that isn't the Oxygen Destroyer.
