Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens

Template:Race Infobox The Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens (ブラックホール第3惑星人,   Burakkuhōru Dai Surī Wakusei Hito^?, lit. Black Hole Third Planet People) (also known as Simians) are a race of humanoid, ape-like sentient beings who construct a colossal Godzilla-like robot, dubbed MechaGodzilla, as a tool for world domination.

History

Showa Series

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla

Kuronuma, the leader in Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla

They establish a secret base in Okinawa, only to be discovered and killed by Interpol agents, while their creation, MechaGodzilla is destroyed by the combined strength of Godzilla and King Caesar.

Terror of MechaGodzilla

Mugal, the leader in Terror of MechaGodzilla

A new army of Planet 3 Aliens returned the next year in Terror of MechaGodzilla with a rebuilt MechaGodzilla, and a plan to destroy Tokyo to rebuild it as a high-tech city, and branch out from there. The second wave of Planet 3 Aliens were disfigured humans wearing rubber masks, similar to the underground mutant race depicted recently in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. This time the aliens joined forces with a vengeful scientist named Shinzo Mafune, who controlled the dinosaur Titanosaurus. The aliens didn't really care for the scientist, and merely saw Titanosaurus as a way to weaken Godzilla before he faced MechaGodzilla. After Mafune and the Planet 3 Aliens have since settled their differences, MechaGodzilla and Titanosaurus attacked Tokyo, and were faced with Godzilla. After a long, long fight, Godzilla eventually triumphed over both foes, blowing up MechaGodzilla in a giant chasm and (apparently) killing Titanosaurus (this was never really confirmed, although that particular monster hasn't been heard from since, and in the actual movie apparently fell over a cliff). The Planet 3 Aliens tried to escape in their spacecraft, but they were blown out of the sky by Godzilla. All remaining aliens were already killed by Interpol agents and the military.

Technology

The Planet 3 Aliens, like the Nebula M Aliens, didn't seem to possess any impressive technology other than their ability to construct MechaGodzilla. The Second Wave aliens, however, wore silver bulletproof suits. Also like the Nebula M Aliens (and the Kilaakians), the Planet 3 Aliens' human appearance was merely a disguise.

They also have flying saucers however, these did not show any weapons as they were shot down by Godzilla with a single atomic heat ray. According to Mugal, their saucers can travel from their planet to Earth in 1,000 hours.

Comics

Godzilla: Legends

The Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens appear in issue #3 of the IDW miniseries Godzilla: Legends, referred to as the Simians. The leader of the race, Mugal, comes to Earth disguised as a human and serves as the headmaster of an academy for young psychics founded by Miki Saegusa. Mugal secretly manipulates the institute's newest student, Travis, to form a psychic link to the monster Titanosaurus so that his race can use him along with their fleet of MechaGodzillas to conquer the Earth and escape their dying homeworld. In comparison to their Showa incarnation, the Simians are slightly more humanoid and sympathetic with Mugal even stating he's not a monster, just desperate to save his world.
