Can the X-Men’s Ultimate Mashup Survive Godzilla? Shocking Battle Revealed!

by

Since the news broke about Godzilla causing chaos in the Marvel Universe, fans have wondered how their favorite superheroes would measure up against this titanic monster. Characters like Hulk and Thor seem well-suited for such a confrontation, while others, such as Spider-Man, present an intriguing contrast due to the unexpected nature of that matchup. As for the X-Men, with powerhouses like Phoenix and Storm among their ranks, it remains unclear how they, as a team, could hold their own against Godzilla. Thankfully, writer Fabian Nicieza devised an innovative approach for the X-Men to engage in the battle against the King of Monsters in Godzilla vs. X-Men #1.

Instead of a single X-Man overpowering another, Nicieza opted for the team to merge their powers into a single mechanical entity to face off against Godzilla. This newly created robot showcases an unprecedented level of fearsome X-Men fusion, yet Godzilla vs. X-Men #1 demonstrates that Godzilla is not an adversary to be underestimated easily. The X-Men employ a Super-Adaptoid, a robot capable of mimicking the powers and skills of superheroes, to amalgamate their abilities for the fight against Godzilla on Japanese coastlines. The conflict between the X-Men’s Super-Adaptoid and Godzilla serves as an exemplary representation of the explosive nature in these Godzilla vs. comic books, with only one victor emerging triumphant.

What is Super-Adaptoid and Why Is It Dangerous?

In simpler terms, the character known as Super-Adaptoid is often associated with either the Avengers or their adversaries, but has also crossed paths with the X-Men on several occasions. This robot can be reprogrammed since it’s mechanical, a fact that Professor X and the X-Men took advantage of after Gambit snatched it from a lab. Using Cerebro, they connected the android to their minds, enabling it to tap into each member’s powers. The lineup of X-Men in “Godzilla vs.” is the famous one from the 90s, featuring Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, and Gambit. The Super-Adaptoid mimics the appearances of various X-Men after absorbing some of their powers, such as Cyclops’ visor, Wolverine’s claws, Jean Grey’s Phoenix wings, and Storm’s electricity.

Was The Super-Adatproid Enough to Defeat Godzilla?

Nicieza made every effort to ensure a balanced fight between the X-Men and Godzilla. Even using Pym Particles, he had the Super-Adaptoid grow in size to match Godzilla’s height. However, it was evident that despite possessing the powers of all the X-Men, Godzilla was simply too powerful to be defeated. Luckily, the battle ended inconclusively as Godzilla was focused on a more dangerous target. It was revealed later that Task Industries, creators of the feared Sentinels, were teaming up with Tsunugai Robotics to develop a new threat – the Tri-Sentinelmechakaiju.

The Tri-Sentinelmechakaiju, resembling Mecha-Ghidorah, is a fusion of three formidable enemies of Godzilla: Biollante, Battra, and Fire Rodan. In an alliance, Godzilla and the X-Men join forces to vanquish this mechanical threat. The climax sees the Super-Adaptoid holding down the Tri-Sentinelmechakaiju while Godzilla unleashes his maximum power through his Atomic Breath, obliterating the adversary. The Super-Adaptoid too was destroyed in the blast, underscoring its inability to withstand Godzilla at full strength.

It’s quite plausible that if each member of the X-Men was at their maximum power, some could potentially hold their own against the Monster King. Jean Grey as the Phoenix possesses the ability to destroy entire planets, but a battle between Godzilla and an oversized Super-Adaptoid with all the X-Men’s powers would be far more exciting. A hypothetical rematch involving the X-Men at their strongest, even with Jean Grey as the Phoenix, might yield different outcomes.
