* SuddenNameChange: After Marvel lost the rights to use Godzilla to Dark Horse Comics, their Godzilla's appearance was altered by further mutations and he was given alternative codenames such as Leviathan.

Added DiffLines:

*BackFromTheDead: Demonicus (and most of his teammates) were apparently killed in Avengers West Coast #95 (June 1993), in a massive earthquake caused by Klaw. He returned with little to no explanation in ComicBook/NewAvengers, over a decade later. According to that series, several supposedly dead villains had been secretly captured by government agents and incarcerated in the Raft.

Added DiffLines:

*BadBoss: He has frequently employed regular humans as employees and/or slaves. And he has a habit of mistreating them. He nearly killed an Inuit tribe which he employed, by working them to exhaustion and providing no protection from the radioactive material of his experiments. In an Avengers West Coast story, Demonicus ordered the death of one of his own technicians, because the man caused a minor accident in the workplace.

*EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In The90s, Demonicus formed his own super-villain team, the Pacific Overlords. He fell in love with his teammate Kuroko (a Japanese woman), but did not want her to see his deformities.

*HornedHumanoid: The horns on his mask are used to disguise the real horns of his head. He never managed to gain actual powers through his experiments, but accidentally transformed himself into a demon-like form.

* ComicBookTime: Doctor Yuriko Takiguchi, a Marvel Comics character that originally appeared in ''Godzilla: King Of The Monsters'', is an interesting exception. When he originally appeared, he was already a middle-aged man. When he reappeared in the ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'', he aged quite visibly, which would make sense of one was to assume that in Marvel continuity, Godzilla comics took place in the same time as they were printed (mid 1970s). The thing is, though, Godzilla comics took place in then-contemporary Marvel Universe, and many characters that age in Comic-Book Time appeared in supporting roles.

Leviathan is a different character


* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He (or a huge monster that looks really close to him called "Leviathan") is quickly killed off in a {{mook}}-like fashion by [[ComicBook/WarrenWorthingtonIII Angel]]. Note that this was many years after Godzilla last appeared in Marvel comics and long after Marvel had lost the character licensing rights, so it was basically just getting rid of a largely unusable character.

* {{Notzilla}}: When Marvel owned the comic book rights to Godzilla, he fought ComicBook/TheAvengers and ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}. Since that time, after Marvel lost the rights to Godzilla, whenever there have been flashbacks or references to these events, Godzilla's name is absent. The villain known as Dr. Demonicus had used a horned kaiju that was hinted at being a mutated Godzilla. More recently, in an issue of ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'', the ComicBook/FantasticFour villain Mole Man used a swarm of giant monsters to attack New York, one of which looked suspiciously like Godzilla.



* HumongousMecha

to:

* HumongousMechaHumongousMecha: A {{Samurai}}-themed robot constructed by [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] and ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} to fight Godzilla. Originally intended to be piloted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, in true genre fashion the robot's controls are [[TheKidwiththeRemoteControl accidentally mapped to the brain patterns of a young boy]] who refuses to use it for its original monster-slaying purpose. Though Godzilla has since faded away from the Marvel Universe, the Red Ronin still shows up occasionally -- perhaps most notably in ''ComicBook/EarthX'' (see below) and ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' where it has a short bout with Fin Fang Foom.

* {{Transplant}}: Became a supporting character of Characters/XClub

* Doctor Yuriko Takiguchi, a Marvel Comics character that originally appeared in the ''ComicBook/{{Godzilla|King Of The Monsters1997}}'' comic, is an interesting exception. When he originally appeared, he was already a middle-aged man. When he reappeared in the ''Uncanny X-Men'', he aged quite visibly, which would make sense of one was to assume that in Marvel continuity, Godzilla comics took place in the same time as they were printed (mid 1970s). The thing is, though, Godzilla comics took place in then-contemporary Marvel Universe, and many characters that age in Comic-Book Time appeared in supporting roles.

A MadScientist who specializes in creating giant monsters to help him take over the world. He's had great success with the making-giant-monsters part; not so much with the taking-over-the-world part, but so it goes. Although he's tussled with mainstream heroes like the Avengers from time to time, he's best known for getting into fights with [[Comicbook/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters Godzilla]] and the Shogun Warriors (see above).

!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' #1 (May, 1977)

Marvel Comics' adaptation of Godzilla, standing at approximately 184 meters tall.
----
* AdaptationalDyeJob: The first time Godzilla was portrayed as being green instead of grey (discounting the American poster for ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters1956'').
* BalefulPolymorph: After the series ended, he kept popping up in various off-model and [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Lawyer Friendly]] forms, the result of Dr. Demonicus capturing and mutating him further.
* BreathWeapon: This version of Godzilla still spews radioactive fire, but it's drawn and colored to look like "normal" fire, with no real reason given.
* CoolHat: When he shrank to the size of a human, he was disguised with a fedora while wearing a trenchcoat.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He (or a huge monster that looks really close to him called "Leviathan") is quickly killed off in a {{mook}}-like fashion by [[ComicBook/WarrenWorthingtonIII Angel]]. Note that this was many years after Godzilla last appeared in Marvel comics and long after Marvel had lost the character licensing rights, so it was basically just getting rid of a largely unusable character.
* SuddenNameChange: After Marvel lost the rights to use Godzilla to Dark Horse Comics, their Godzilla's appearance was altered by further mutations and he was given alternative codenames such as Leviathan.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: Marvel eventually lost the right to use the character so instead they mutated him and stopped calling him Godzilla.
* YourSizeMayVary: Officially stated to be 184 metres tall but was rarely, if ever, actually that tall in illustrations, and like many large comic book characters had an incredibly inconsistent size range.

!!!'''First appearance:''' ''Comicbook/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters'' #6 (October, 1977)''

A giant samurai-themed robot created by [[ComicBook/IronMan Stark International]] for use by ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} to combat Godzilla and other monsters. He often served as both an ally and foil to the King of the Monsters.
----
* CanonForeigner: He appeared exclusively in the Godzilla comic published by Marvel.
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai
* {{Expy}}: Archie Goodwin, the Editor-In-Chief at the time the comic was being published, admitted that Red Ronin is based off of japanese SuperRobot anime, most famously Shogun Warriors (which, coincidently, was another property that Marvel adapted into a comic book series).
* {{Foil}}
* GatlingGood: His shield doubled as a gatling laser gun.
* HackYourEnemy: The reason why Red Ronin in later appearances clashed with other Marvel heroes, as he was often reprogramed by villains such as Doctor Doom.
* HumongousMecha
* PutOnABus: Averted. Though Marvel eventually lost the license to use Godzilla, they still owned the rights to original characters they created specifically for the comic. As such, Red Ronin continued to appear in other comic series without Godzilla, often clashing with Marvel's other superheroes such as the Avengers and the Inhumans.
