Anthony Hicks

Commander Anthony Hicks is a major character in the Godzilla (1998 film) and in Godzilla: the Series''. He is a major in the U.S. Military who takes charge when Zilla attacks New York City. He first appears in Panama, showing Dr. Niko Tatapolis the giant footprint that Zilla left behind. Later, he and the army fight Zilla in New York, and eventually slay him on the Brookland Bridge. However, earlier when they blew up the Madison Square Gardens containing the baby Zillas, they missed an egg, which hatched and became Zilla Jr., imprinting itself on Nick.

At first, Hicks is determined to destroy Zilla Jr. because of all the destruction that his parent caused, but Nick eventually convinces him to let Zilla live. During the course of the series, Hicks is an ally to H.E.A.T., helping them take out the various mutations that are causing destruction around the globe.

Hicks was portrayed by actor Kevin Dunn in the 1998 film, and during the series Dunn also provided the voice for the Major.
