by

Summary

  • Godzilla remains the strongest monster in the Monsterverse, consistently overpowering adversaries.
  • Shimo, a new titan, challenges Godzilla with her size and frost breath abilities.
  • Kong, while young, is powerful, using his ancestral axe and the B.E.A.S.T. glove, making him a powerhouse.

The Monsterverse stands out as one of today’s most thriving cinematic realms within popular culture, and for valid reasons. People are captivated by the concept of witnessing colossal Kaiju engaging in combat, potentially deciding the survival of mankind and the dominion over Earth. Fans of “Attack on Titan” can attest to this fascination. The allure of the Monsterverse lies in its array of massive monsters, each possessing distinct powers, a collection that continues to expand as the storyline unfolds.

Indeed, just as with other sci-fi fantasy shows, the Monsterverse comes equipped with its unique power hierarchy, where certain creatures are more formidable than others. The legendary titans Godzilla and Kong serve as the main attractions in this series, earning them iconic status over time. Their joint appearance in a common universe is one of the key factors contributing to the Monsterverse’s enduring popularity. Among the most powerful beasts in the series, there are those capable of causing global destruction and boasting an array of impressive abilities.

8. Godzilla

The Atomic Lizard is the Cream of the Crop in the Monsterverse

In the Monsterverse, Godzilla has made a significant impact and maintained his status as the leading monster. A constant across the series is that he always manages to emerge victorious. When first introduced in Gareth Edwards’s 2014 film, Godzilla was portrayed as the most powerful Kaiju, making a grand entrance and effortlessly overpowering the Femuto. Even when weakened by energy depletion, it took both MUTOs working together to restrain him.

As I sat down to witness the colossal clash between titans in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)”, I found myself awestruck by none other than the mighty Godzilla, towering above the rest as the undisputed ruler of the Monsterverse. This time around, he left a trail of destruction in his wake, effortlessly felling numerous hostile titans and dismantling the Scar King’s army with surprising ease. Even when faced with a mind-controlled Shimo, Godzilla stood tall, barely showing any signs of exertion. It quickly became apparent that this evolved form was far stronger than any monster we’ve seen before in this series, making it a spectacle not to be missed.

7. Shimo

The Powerful Ancient Frost Titan is a Monsterverse Original

Introducing Shimo, a fresh addition to the Monsterverse, and a titan yet untouched by the tales of Godzilla or Kong individually. This ancient Titan is rumored to have triggered the first ice age. She resembles a massive, quadruped dragon with a spiky back, reminiscent of icy shards. Similar to the mightiest titans in the series, Shimo possesses an incredibly potent frost breath weapon that leaves Kong’s hands numb from frostbite, necessitating the B.E.A.S.T. Glove for treatment.

In the movie “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire“, Shimo stands firmly against an advanced Godzilla, even managing to subdue him due to her larger size and mass. Although she doesn’t inflict heavy damage on him, her primary objective during that battle was shielding Kong from the Scar King whenever he overpowered him. It’s implied that she could give Godzilla a tough challenge in a direct fight, and she is undoubtedly one of the strongest characters when it comes to raw power.

6. King Ghidorah

Godzilla’s Arch Nemesis is a Three-Headed Menace

Historically, King Ghidorah, Godzilla’s most notorious adversary, is a terrifying antagonist and arguably the most evil villain in the series. In the 2019 movie “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”, it’s shown that he fought Godzilla during ancient times, with the result being Ghidorah being encased in ice for centuries. Later, in the film “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, it’s made clear that Shimo was responsible for freezing Ghidorah.

King of the Monsters,” Ghidorah repeatedly gets the better of Godzilla, even coming close to killing him once by dropping him from the stratosphere.

5. Mechagodzilla

A Mechanized Godzilla Powered by King Ghidorah’s Head

In an effort to respond to the colossal titans, Apex constructed a robot Kaiju in the movie “Godzilla vs Kong (2021)” that was powered by one of Ghidorah’s detached heads. This mechanical beast was named Mechagodzilla. The consciousness within Ghidorah’s head took control of Mechagodzilla after it was activated, causing it to act against its intended purpose and cause destruction in Hong Kong until it encountered Godzilla. Mechagodzilla was specifically designed to combat Godzilla, but with Ghidorah at the helm, the robotic threat turned aggressive towards the King of the Monsters.

After a lengthy fight against Kong, Godzilla found himself too weary to deal significant damage to Mechagodzilla. Instead, Mechagodzilla took advantage of this weakness by attacking and tossing Godzilla around the skyscrapers in Shanghai. Moreover, Mechagodzilla’s proton scream (an advanced beam attack derived from MUTO Prime’s sonic roar) overpowered Godzilla’s atomic breath and almost ended his life, but Kong stepped in at the last moment to rescue Godzilla.

4. Kong

With the B.E.A.S.T. Glove Equipped, He’s at a Whole New Level

Kong is an intriguing figure due to his relatively young age compared to other Alpha titans, indicating a lot of room for growth ahead. Despite being young, Kong has already amassed considerable power, placing him in the same league as giants like Godzilla and Ghidorah. However, his strength doesn’t stem from his size or special abilities, but rather from his unique trait – opposable thumbs, which opens up a wide range of possibilities for weapons he can handle. Moreover, Kong is not only powerful but also relatable, often serving as the symbol of the Monsterverse.

In the movie “Godzilla vs Kong” (2021), he skillfully employs his ancestral axe for combat with Godzilla and eventually defeats Mechagodzilla. He possesses enough physical strength to overpower Mechagodzilla, even managing to tear him away from Godzilla. Later in “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, he acquires the B.E.A.S.T. glove and transforms into a force to be reckoned with. He was able to temporarily knock down Godzilla in his advanced form, putting up a valiant fight. Moreover, he proved capable of overcoming the Scar King who, in Rio de Janeiro, found it necessary to enlist Shimo’s aid against him.

3. MUTO Prime

The Queen Bee of the MUTOs Gave Godzilla a Run For His Money

  • Comic: Godzilla: Aftershock
  • Year Released: 2019
  • Author: Arvid Nelson
  • Illustrator: Drew Johnson
  • Franchise: Monsterverse

As a dedicated Monsterverse enthusiast, I’d like to share some intriguing insights about a titan often overlooked by the average fan. While she never graced our screens, she has a significant backstory, specifically the MUTO Prime. This formidable variant of the Female MUTO holds the prestigious title of queen. The MUTOs were initially a parasitic species that posed a unique threat to Godzilla’s kind. In the comic ‘Godzilla: Aftershock’, it is disclosed that the MUTO Prime annihilated Dagon, a fellow member of Godzilla’s species in the past, and implanted her eggs within his body. The MUTOs that emerged from those eggs are none other than the two MUTOs that squared off against Godzilla in the 2014 film.

In 2014, Godzilla overcame the MUTOs, but the battle against MUTO Prime proved far more arduous and close to claiming his life. MUTO Prime was equipped with a host of cunning tactics and abilities, and during their near-fatal confrontation, she nearly killed Godzilla with a devastating sonic roar that destroyed his dorsal fins, leaving him critically injured. Thankfully, humans intervened to aid in Godzilla’s recovery, allowing him to eventually emerge victorious.

2. Mothra

The Queen of the Monsters is No Slouch Herself

In the realm of Godzilla, Mothra holds a significant position as one of its most recognized monsters, forging a deep connection with this titan. In the Monsterverse, she is cherished by many due to her breathtaking and awe-inspiring appearance. She enjoys a mutualistic partnership with Godzilla and is worshipped as a deity by the Iwi tribe. Mothra’s power is distinctively magical rather than relying on sheer physical strength, which sets her apart from other colossal creatures like Godzilla, Ghidorah, or Kong.

As a passionate movie reviewer, I found myself utterly captivated by the epic showdown between titans in the films “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” In the former, our beloved character skillfully entwined her webs to subdue the fearsome Ghidorah, engaging in a ferocious battle with Rodan simultaneously. Her cunning strategy led to a triumphant victory over Rodan, as she delivered the final blow with her stinger after luring him into an ingeniously set trap. Remarkably, her selfless sacrifice enabled Godzilla to endure his devastating thermonuclear explosion.

In the sequel, “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” our heroine returns, reborn and more powerful than ever. Armed with a potent light pulse, she sent shockwaves through the cinematic universe as she knocked both Godzilla and Kong off their feet. She valiantly defended against Scar King’s formidable army, giving Godzilla and Kong the opportunity to chase after Scar King and Shimo all the way to Rio de Janeiro. The electrifying energy between these titans never failed to leave me on the edge of my seat!

1. Rodan

The Flaming Pterodactyl has Incredible Destructive Power

In many Godzilla tales, Rodan is a frequently appearing Kaiju, sometimes portrayed as an ally and other times as an adversary for Godzilla. In the movie “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” Rodan is one of the titans summoned by Ghidorah’s alpha call, which awakens all titans worldwide. At first, Rodan confronts Ghidorah after humans guide him to the three-headed Dragon, but he eventually becomes subservient to Ghidorah following this encounter.

Later, he engages in combat against Mothra and appears to have her cornered, but ultimately gets struck by her stinger. Still, his fiery wings inflict substantial harm on Mothra and his immense destructive power should not be underestimated.

In the ensuing fight, he seems to have the upper hand against Mothra until she manages to strike him with her stinger. Yet, his flaming wings deal heavy damage to Mothra, and his tremendous destructive capabilities should not be ignored.
