Godzilla first stomped on the scenenearly 70 years agoand has captivated audiences ever since.
Interpretations of Big G vary, from the horrific Shin Godzilla to thelighthearted Hanna-Barbera interpretation.
But throughout that whole time the atomic lizard has come to blows with foes of all kinds.
The Monsterverse has reimagined classic Toho kaiju and crafted creatures of their own.

Skullcrawlers
Skullcrawler are a species of large reptilian creatures that reside on Skull Island.
They have only two long forelimbs and long, prehensile, serpentine tails.
Their prehensile tail and fearsome jaws are dangerous weapons in their arsenal.
MUTO [Male]
MUTO stands for Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism.
While he is extremely nimble and durable, ultimately the male MUTO fell to Godzilla.

The female of the species is much larger than the male and possesses different abilities.
She is strong enough to toss Godzilla around and also generates an EMP field that surrounds her.
Rodan first appears bursting from a volcano on Isla de Mara and soon engages in combat with King Ghidorah.
After being defeated Rodan submits to Ghidorah and battles Mothra during the battle in Boston.
She first appeared in Toho’s 1961 film Mothra.
During the final battle in Boston, she duels Rodan while Godzilla faces off with King Ghidorah.

The King of Skull Island is not to be overlooked.
He is highly intelligent and possesses great strength, durability, and agility.
But when it comes to facing other monsters one-on-one, Kong’s record keeps him from topping the list.

Mechagodzilla
Legendary’s Mechagodzilla appears in 2021’sGodzilla vs Kongas a common enemy between the titular warring giants.
Ghidorah’s mind eventually takes control of the cyborg and seeks to finish business against his old nemesis.
King Ghidorah
King Ghidorah is the Joker to Godzilla’s Batman.
In the Monsterverse, King Ghidorah is an extraterrestrial threat that Godzilla defeated in ancient times.
Godzilla almost defeats him single-handedly during their first two clashes, but human intervention interferes with his victory.
As Ghidorah amassed more power and allies, it took help from humans and Mothra to defeat Ghidorah.
Godzilla
Who else but the big guy himself?
In the Monsterverse, Godzilla is an ancient creature from the Permian period powered by bio-nuclear energy.
Godzilla is King of the Monsters, and for good reason.

He possesses immense strength, an accelerated healing factor, intelligence, and of course his famous atomic breath.
Also, under certain conditions, he can assume the Fire Godzilla form and emit powerful thermonuclear pulses.
Godzilla has the best record in the Monsterverse.
He has defeated King Ghidorah, Kong, the MUTOs, and helped defeat Mechagodzilla.
It is for that reason he rightfully bears the title King of the Monsters.
