History Characters / TheGodzillaPowerHour

* {{Expy}}: Of the Ymir from the science fiction film ''Film/20MillionMilesToEarth''.

* ContinuityNod: At one point, Godzilla jams his claw inside the Breeder beast's body to tear out its power source and has to be warned by Quinn not to touch it or risk getting badly injured. This is probably nod to him doing the same thing in ''Film/GodzillaVsTheSmogMonster'' having the flesh of his hand ''eaten away''.[[note]] Though he is successful at ripping out Hedorah's nucleus.[[/note]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Baragon, being a burrowing monster.

* DireBeast: Other than being Godzilla's size, it's a fairly standard looking depiction of a theropod.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Godzilla may be benign in this incarnation, but he's still a 120-meter, fire-breathing dinosaur that needs to be frequently summoned to fight off whatever giant monster the ''Calico'' has stumbled across. He also has absolutely no hesitation whatsoever about killing his enemies. The human cast are never complacent around him, sometimes nervous, knowing full well the monster can [[GiantFootOfStomping crush them out of existence at any given moment]], even if he didn't mean to.

* EyeBeams: Unique to this version of Godzilla, he can fire beams of red energy from his eyes, similar to [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superman's]] heat vision.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Once got knocked out cold by a WWI torpedo blowing up in his face, where as the movie versions can regularly wipe the floor with the JSDF.

* VoluntaryShapeShifter: The Energy Beast is able to change its appearance at will, first assuming the appearance of a tree and later mimicking Godzilla after absorbing some of his energy. It can also replicate the powers of those whose appearance it assumes, such as Godzilla's EyeBeams.

* PopGoesTheHuman: The Magnetic Monster continues to grow as it absorbs more magnetic energy, with Quinn eventually realizing that it has a limit to how much energy it can handle. The heroes then have Godzilla draw the monster to the South Pole, [[GoingToGiveItMorEnergy where the Earth's magnetic field increases until the monster explodes]].

* PopGoesTheHuman: The Magnetic Monster continues to grow as it absorbs more magnetic energy, with Quinn eventually realizing that it has a limit to how much energy it can handle. The heroes then have Godzilla draw the monster to the South Pole, where the Earth's magnetic field increases until the monster explodes.

* PteroSoarer: While its certainly more reptilian than avian, it more closely resembles a generic dinosaur with bat wings than any real pterosaur.

* SuperStrength: Strong enough to throw the similarly-sized Gravity Goliath to the Moon.

* [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful Bitch]] After Godzilla saves everyone (Sirens included) from the Chimera (which the sisters can't control), they respond by deeming Godzilla a threat and using their magic to put him to sleep.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: A giant blue theropod that rivals Godzilla in size.

* HotScientist

* StockDinosaurs: Most closely resembles a then-conventional depiction of a UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex.

* StockDinosaurs: Diplodocus is one of the most well-known genus of sauropods.

* TurtlePower: A giant sea turtle kaiju that is eventually big enough to dwarf Godzilla.

* {{Expy}}: Of Hedorah, in that it is seen feeding on pollution as a food source. Also, to the titular monster of Film/TheBlob, seeing as how it continues to grow as it absorbs more and more matter.

* NonMaliciousMonster: Perhaps the only incarnation of Godzilla who isn't the slightest bit antagonistic towards humans.

* VocalDissonance: His “roar” sounds more like someone pretending to sound like a monster than having a natural bellow of his own. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because Creator/HannaBarbera was unable to acquire the license for Godzilla's trademark roar from Toho and instead hired Ted Cassidy to voice Godzilla.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Godzooky is also frequently spelled as “Godzooki” or “Godzuki”.

* GeniusBruiser: He's not DumbMuscle, Godzilla himself employs [[ItCanThink ingenuity, without instruction]], and figures out the most practical way to deal with a problem, such as averting a nuclear reactor meltdown.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Godzilla may be benign in this incarnation, but he's still a 120-meter, fire-breathing dinosaur that needs to be frequently summoned to fight off whatever giant monster the ''Calico'' has stumbled across. He also has absolutely no hesitation whatsoever about killing his enemies.
* NighInvulnerable: "Island of Doom" demonstrated how utterly ineffective conventional military weapons were against Godzilla when a private military called COBRA ([[Franchise/GIJoe not that one]]) threw everything they had against Godzilla and didn't seem to do much besides make him angry.

* BreathWeapon: Rather than the traditional Atomic Breath, this Godzilla breathes ordinary fire.

* ApaptationalWimp: This incarnation can be knocked out cold by a WWI torpedo blowing up in his face, where as the movie versions can regularly wipe the floor with the JSDF.

* TheCameo: Briefly appears in issue 43 of Creator/DCComics’ ComicBook/ScoobyDooTeamUp, alongside the Eartheater, Cyclops Creature, and a recolored version of the Time Dragon. The four monsters were mentioned as being under the control of the Mad Inventor before being defeated by the Creator/HannaBarbera superheroes WesternAnimation/FrankensteinJr and WesternAnimation/TheImpossibles.

* EyeBeams: Unique to this version of Godzilla, he can fire beams of red energy from his eyes, similar to [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superman’s]] heat vision.

* VocalDissonance: His “roar” sounds more like someone pretending to sound like a monster than having a natural bellow of his own. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because Creator/HannaBarbera was unable to acquire the license for Godzilla’s trademark roar from Toho and instead hired Ted Cassidy to voice Godzilla.

* TheSmartGuy: As the team’s resident scientist, she is the one most likely to figure out how a monster’s powers work and how to beat them.

* TheLancer: As both Quinn’s lab assistant and Majors’ first mate.

* {{Nephewism}}: Pete is Quinn’s nephew. Where his parents are is never elaborated on.
* TagalongKid: Honestly, why would anyone think it’s a good idea to have a kid on a research vessel that encounters giant monsters on a weekly basis?

* SidekickCreatureNuisance: Certainly how Godzilla usually views Godzooky, given his frequent interference in Godzilla’s fights with the latest Monster of the Week.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: This series didn’t exactly break the bank when it came to creativity, especially with regards to naming its monsters. Many of the monsters' names give you a pretty good idea what they are (Firebird, Seaweed Monster, etc.) or what they do (Magnetic Monster, Energy Beast).

* MiracleGroMonster: A recurring element of the series’ antagonists, most of them get a size boost at some point during the episode, usually to raise the stakes for Godzilla.

* {{Expy}}: Of Rodan; it’s a giant reptilian bird kaiju with an affinity for fire and volcanoes.

* MonsterIsAMommy: One of the geologists rescued by the Calico’s crew theorizes that the Firebird is retreating to the Arctic to lay eggs.

* TheCameo: Briefly appears in issue 43 of Creator/DCComics’ ComicBook/ScoobyDooTeamUp, alongside Godzilla, Cyclops Creature, and a recolored version of the Time Dragon. The four monsters were mentioned as being under the control of the Mad Inventor before being defeated by the Creator/HannaBarbera superheroes WesternAnimation/FrankensteinJr and WesternAnimation/TheImpossibles.

* MiracleGroMonster: Through a combination of its rapid regenerative abilities and incorporating more seaweed into its body, the Seaweed Monster is able to grow to Godzilla’s size.

* NoSell: Initially, the Seaweed Monster’s moist body is able to withstand Godzilla’s fire breath. Once its body is dried out by the sun, [[KillItWithFire however]]…
* {{Planimal}}: As its name suggests, it’s a giant mass of living seaweed.

* EnergyAbsorption: It’s primary ability. It spends most of its appearance seeking new sources of energy to feed on, starting with a hydroelectric dam and then moving on to a solar power plant.

* TheCameo: Briefly appears in issue 43 of Creator/DCComics’ ComicBook/ScoobyDooTeamUp, alongside Godzilla, the Eartheater, and a recolored version of the Time Dragon. The four monsters were mentioned as being under the control of the Mad Inventor before being defeated by the Creator/HannaBarbera superheroes WesternAnimation/FrankensteinJr and WesternAnimation/TheImpossibles.

* {{Invisibility}}: The Calico’s crew discover that the Cyclops Creature is able to turn invisible at will, allowing it to ambush its adversaries or escape when a battle starts to turn against it.

* {{Mook}}: The Minotaur may be fearsome enough to menace Pete and Godzooky, but he’s just a pawn of the Siren Sisters. It isn't even threatening enough to cross the GodzillaThreshold, as Pete and Godzooky are able to defeat him by locking him in a room.

* PopGoesTheHuman: The Magnetic Monster continues to grow as it absorbs more magnetic energy, with Quinn eventually realizing that it has a limit to how much energy it can handle. The heroes then have Godzilla draw the monster to the South Pole, where the earth’s magnetic field increases until the monster explodes.
* ShoutOut: Possibly to Gamera, being a giant bipedal turtle that first appears near one of the Earth’s poles.

* BlobMonster: It’s an amorphous mass of brown slime surrounding a red core. It continues to grow as it absorbs more matter.

* MadeOfExplodium: Initially, the Breeder Beast’s body is shown to be highly explosive when exposed to sources of heat, though the monster is later able to control its internal reactions enough that this no longer applies. This leads to the Calico’s crew spending much of the episode trying to stop Godzilla from attacking it for fear that it will blow up.

* ShoutOut: It wouldn’t be a proper Godzilla RoguesGallery without a [[Film/KingKongVsGodzilla giant ape for him to fight]]. He even takes Quinn hostage in an obvious reference to the [[Film/KingKong1933 original King Kong]].

* TheCameo: A heavily modified version of the Time Dragon briefly appears in issue 43 of Creator/DCComics’ ComicBook/ScoobyDooTeamUp, alongside Godzilla, the Eartheater, and the Cyclops Creature. The four monsters were mentioned as being under the control of the Mad Inventor before being defeated by the Creator/HannaBarbera superheroes WesternAnimation/FrankensteinJr and WesternAnimation/TheImpossibles.
* DireBeast: Other than being Godzilla’s size, it’s a fairly standard looking depiction of a theropod.

* NonindicativeName: It’s not a dragon (it’s a T. rex) and it time travels through no action of its own.

The Giant Octopus emerged from an undersea cave after having been awokened by an exploding torpedo, attacking a nearby U-Boat while Brock and Pete are onboard.

* KnottyTentacles: Godzilla defeats it by tying its tentacles in knots. Its something of a RunningGag, considering Godzilla defeated the giant squid the same way just two episodes prior.

* YouHaveToBurnTheWeb: Godzilla uses his EyeBeams to free himself from the spider’s webs.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: When it’s not [[BeamSpam spamming gravity beams]] from its body, the Goliath is quite capable of lifting and tossing Godzilla around.

* AntiMagic: The Golden Guardians’ Eye Beams are at the exact frequency to cancel out Godzilla’s own laser-vision. Later, the Calico’s crew uses the same trick to free Godzilla from the gold encasing him.
