Wondering who is the most powerful Kaiju created by Marvel and DC comics? We are all familiar with Godzilla, the most famous Kaiju featured in fictional stories. Over the years, we've also received some incredible Kaiju movies, but most of them only feature Godzilla and King Kong. However, comic book fans should know that both Marvel and DC consist of several Kaiju characters.
Interestingly, several comic book Kaiju characters are similar to Godzilla in size. Apart from that, these monsters come with mystical and supernatural powers, making them incredibly dangerous. If you're also intrigued to learn about the best Kaijus in comic books, here's a list you might like.
Exploring the Kaijus that appeared in Superhero comics created by Marvel and DC
1) Marvel: Giganto
Giganto is a deviant mutant who resides on Monster island. The monstrous creature was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and was first introduced in Fantastic Four #1.
He is a servant to the supervillain scientist Mole Man, who uses him to attack and destroy power plants worldwide. He has a gigantic build and possesses superhuman strength and stamina. He can also breathe underwater for an extended time. Apart from these, he is also an expert in digging heavy tunnels.
Mole Man sets the giant free to attack the members of the Fantastic Four as the group approaches him to investigate the destruction of the power plant in French equatorial Africa. Giganto was teleported to Earth by Skrulls to create high mental stress levels across the city.
2) DC: Chemo
Initially, Chemo appeared in the DC universe as a twenty-five-foot tall vessel, the shape of which roughly resembled a human being. Its creator, Ramsey Norton, was a strange scientist who used it to store the chemicals from his failed experiments. After failing all the experiments, the scientist filled Chemo with many chemicals.
One day, Norton attempted to invent a growth formula for plants so that they could feed starving countries. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed this time either. Chemo was stuffed again with the growth chemical. These chemicals altogether caused a considerable reaction, making Chemo a walking destructive weapon. After coming to life, the first thing he did was poison the scientist and go on a rampage.
Since Chemo was created through experiments, he cannot be killed as he gets resurrected and keeps on returning again and again.
3) Marvel: Fin Fang Foom
Coming from the world of Kakaranthara, Fin Fang Foom is an alien who possesses shape-shifting abilities. He looks like an anthropomorphic Chinese dragon, who, along with similar aliens of the race, left his hometown to rule other planets. After landing in Ancient China, the aliens used their shape-shifting powers to take human form and enter human society.
The dragon has superhuman strength and stamina that allows him to exert his body for up to 24 hours before getting hit by the fatigue toxins in his body. Apart from this, the wings on his body enable him to fly at greater speeds for an extended period.
4) DC: Titano the Super-Ape
Titano the Super-Ape is primarily considered a foe for Superman. Initially, he appeared as a small chimpanzee who, during a space experiment, gets exposed to cosmic radiation. This gave him a gigantic outlook and the ability to shoot Kryptonite from his eyes. And having Kryptonite vision, he becomes a threat to Superman.
