Godzilla (New Earth-Forty Two)

Early Existence
It is unknown how old Godzilla really is, but many scientists over the years have theorized that he may belong to one of the first species that evolved and survived on an Earth with high levels of Radiation, which Godzilla seems to feed on.

Atlantean Era
It was discovered by famed scientists Daisuke Serizawa and Kyohei Yamane that Godzilla or at least a creature resembling Godzilla existed during the era of the lost civilization Atlantis.

The two make the discover after finding ancient artifacts near, where Godzilla was first sighted in 1954. The artifacts depicted giant creatures fighting one another, the creatures destroying what appeared to be cities, and balls of strange lights above some of the creatures or being attacked by them. One of the creatures depicted bears a strong resemblance to Godzilla adding to the mystery of Godzilla.

Recorded History
Serizawa and Yamane would further research possible sightings of Godzilla finding multiple artifacts and accounts of sightings and descriptions of sea monsters that are very similar in description to Godzilla throughout time.

WWII
Godzilla would be sighted multiple times during the War in the Pacific between the Japanese Navy and United States Navy. Godzilla would appear mostly during storms and would often destroy multiple ships on both sides of the war.

Most men who saw Godzilla during these incidents died, due to Godzilla or were rescued and believed to have gone mad from the death of their friends. Godzilla's attacks did cause a stir in both armies, whom both believed that the other side had a secret weapon.

Godzilla would make a larger appearance during the Battle of Leonard, where Godzilla appeared, while the two sides were in combat. Upon Godzilla's appearance both sides turned their attention towards the monster and attacked it. By the end of the Battle, multiple ships had sank and sailors had been killed by the monster. Those who survived on both sides, were forced to keep quit about the monster by the governments, wgo believing it would cause a panic among the people of both countries.
