Godzilla

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound...

Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira) is a mysterious creature similar to King Kong. Apparently, it is big, green, snorts fire, and is lizard-like.

Notes

• Godzilla had his own Marvel Comics series in which he was hunted down by Dum Dum.
• Given Spoon's statements about movies, it might be the case that, in-universe, the Japanese made a movie about Godzilla's real-life monster rampages—after all the Marvel continuity contains both superheroes and superhero comics—but drawing firm relationships between the Marvelverse, the main US continuity and the Earthforce continuity is problematic at best.
• Super-God Masterforce head writer Masumi Kaneda has stated that God Ginrai (ゴッドジンライ) was named so that omitting every other Japanese syllable yields the word Gojira (ゴジラ), the original Japanese name for Godzilla.
• There is another Japanese monster movie, Hojoni, as shown in "Kremzeek!"
• Around the time Jolt was seen reading a Godzilla comic, IDW Publishing began putting out their own Godzilla series. Coincidence, or product placement?
• Godzilla was the direct inspiration for Humungado, right down to his theme music.
• "The Champ" has Grimlock mimic Godzilla's infamous sliding tail-kick from Godzilla vs. Megalon.
