History[]
Godzilla: Rage Across Time[]
Megalon appeared in issue #1 of the comic, where he, alongside Gigan, were controlled by Zhenjin Khan, the dragon master, as he leads them and his Nebulan/Mongolian troops, as sent and ordered by the Chinese emperor Kublai Khan, to obliterate Japan in 13th century Japan. The soldiers of Japan fought back against the Mongolians while the two monsters laid waste to the land. Just when it looked like all hope is lost, the monsters were suddenly hit by an atomic beam that pushed back Megalon's napalm bomb.
The user revealed himself to be Godzilla, who was drawn towards the duo's location to fight them. At first, Godzilla had the upper hand in battle by dodging the monsters' attacks and striking hard at them, but then Megalon and Gigan fought back and soon dominated over Godzilla with their well-coordinated teamwork. When it seemed like the leviathan was about to lose to these alien monsters, the Mongol relic that controlled them was destroyed by a fire arrow shot from Akio, the infamous woman warrior.
Soon, with the monsters dazed and confused, the atomic leviathan shot an atomic breath at Gigan and swung his thick tail at Megalon. Afterward, the two monsters decided to retreat and flew off into space while Godzilla destroyed the remainders of the invading army.
