He began life as a Godzillasaurus - millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Exposed to radiation in the mid 1950's, Godzilla - as he came to be called - transformed into a towering monster capable of delivering a devastating atomic blast with his breath. Since then, Godzilla has menaced the cities of Japan and fought off many seemingly unbeatable adversaries, earning him the title, "The King of the Monsters".
