History
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Template:Plagiarised The Super X3 was introduced as Japan's latest form of defence, following MechaGodzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. It is also the third in the line of Super X aircraft, succeeding the Super X2 which was damaged beyond repair in 1989.
In 1995, it was discovered that Godzilla's heart was starting to melt down, which put the entire planet and every living thing on it at risk if he were to explode, as his destruction could result in a so-called China Syndrome. It was then discovered that Godzilla was heading for a nuclear power plant at the head of the Bungo Channel, so the Super X3 was deployed to intercept them.
Boiling the surrounding waters, Godzilla continued to wade through the sea toward the power plant, the energy from which he so yearned to absorb. Suddenly, freezer missiles began to strike Godzilla, and his temperature began to drop considerably. Cadmium missiles were fired to neutralize the beast's radioactive heart, and as it began to weaken, its flesh began to tighten. The freezer beam was fired, and this final assault caused Godzilla to topple into the surf. The monster was frozen at -200 degrees, and he would continue to lie in this state for six hours. The Super X3 returned to base, ready to launch again at a moment's notice.
Time passed, Godzilla awoke, and he eventually advanced into Tokyo, following his son. By this time, it was determined that Godzilla would not undergo a nuclear explosion, but would instead be the victim of a much more devastating phenomenon a nuclear meltdown. In order to lessen the effects of such a catastrophic even, the G-Force ordered the Super X3 to re-launch. It quickly approached Tokyo, as Godzilla fought a new, far more despicable monster: Destoroyah. The Super X3 soon arrived on the scene, and as a weakened Destoroyah attempted to retreat into the sky, the combined force of the frigid beam weaponry of the ground-based DAG-MB96 cannons struck Destoroyah and instantly halted its reign of terror.
Godzilla continued in his meltdown, and eventually his flesh started to melt and burn off his skeleton. The monster's heart ruptured, showering radiation over Tokyo. The Super X3 held off its final assault, and flew above the seemingly doomed city, protected only by its heat-resistant outer armour.
The levels of radioactivity suddenly dropped, however, and rising from the ruins of Tokyo, a completely revitalized Godzilla Junior rose to his feet. Revived by his father's dying energy, Junior was now fully grown. The legacy of the monster king continued.

Trivia
- The Super X3 was operated by Sho Kuroki, who operated the Super-X2 in Godzilla vs. Biollante.
- The Super X3 was the only Heisei series mech that was not destroyed in battle with a monster. (The Super X, Super X2, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Garuda, and MechaGodzilla 2 were destroyed by Godzilla, and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. (including Land Moguera and the Star Falcon) was defeated by SpaceGodzilla.
- The Super X3 also appeared in Godzilla: Save the Earth as an airstrike alongside Battra. It would fly around and shoot missiles and freeze missiles at the summoner's opponents.
- Concept art reveals that the Super X3 was originally designed to be an incarnation of the Gotengo, featuring three drills. Another piece of concept art reveals that at one point the Super X3 was to be codenamed "Wyvern."
